Hi! I'm in Yr 11 too!
I do English Lit and Language, Triple Science, Math, Further Math, Spanish ( second language is compulsory at my school 😔), History, Art and Computer Science
I'm aiming for 8s and 9s, and my mock grades ranged from 6-9, with the exception of art at a 4 (which I plan to work on this year!!).
For literature, we are doing Never Let Me Go (6/10), Romeo and Juliet(4/10 because I genuinely can't take it seriously) and A Christmas Carol (?/10)

Fr although my art teacher gave me a very generous mock grade for art (7) it didn't reflect what it rlly was😭 so with a new theme and an exam one coming up I hope to make up for it

Hey guys,
I am English lang (5+), English lit (6), Combined Science (7/6), Maths (5- I did foundation paper and will do higher in yr 11 mocks), History (8), Religious Education (9), Citizenship (8) and Spanish (8+).
I have some idea of what to do in college but I'm not sure if my combination is right. I'm currently thinking about the subjects History, Law, Spanish or Business for my A Levels.
For my yr 11 mocks, I am hoping to get 7s at least for all subjects. My revision methods are usually the Pomodoro technique and the Feynman technique. The morning of exams I usually do blurting and active recall. The resources I use for each of my subjects are listed below.
English - genius.com, Physics and Maths tutor, seneca, knowunity app
Maths - MathsWatch, CorbettMaths, knowunity app
Combined Science - Freesciencelessons, seneca, save my exams, knowunity app
History - the history teacher, seneca, schoolhistory, knowunity app
RE - seneca, revisionworld, knowunity app
Ctizenship - past papers, knowunity app
Spanish - quizlet, language gym, knowunity app, duolingo, save my exams
hope this helps guys

Thank you so much for the advice. I found that really helpful.
I'm so scared for the NEA1 ( i think that's the food science one) and our teacher told us the titles are coming out next week. We're meant to have done NEA1 by the end of october which sounds soo soon.
NEA2 I'm not that nervous bcs I've already been practicing cooking my dishes at home and Im just trying to cram in as many high level skills. With that I'm just scared that I won't do it all in 3 hours
How are you also feeling about NEAs and theory? xxx

samee we’re going to be told the title for nea1 next week and i’m so scared that I won’t get it all done by october half term bc that’s really soon and year eleven is gonna go so quickly
the nea2 i’m really impatient to get the title but we don’t get that until november 1st. my main worry is also that I won’t get everything done in time
the theory / written exam i’m feeling most confident for bc in the practices i’ve done well and I know the content pretty well

Hi everyone! Does anyone know of any competitons for Year 11 students or a website that lists the opportunities. And by competitons I mean maybe essay writing ones or anything else, basically super-cirrucular stuff because I'm interested in doing some sort of project for fun. I've done a bit of research online but a lot of them seem to be for Year 12 students so if anybody knows of any such oppurtunities for our Year pls lmk!

My subjects:
aqa english lit and lang
aqa mathematics
aqa physics
aqa chemistry
aqa biology
aqa geography
aqa fine art
aqa spanish
eduqas rs
I wouldn't say I'm excited for the exams, however I am excited for them to be over. Not even a couple days in and I'm already feeling the pressure. My aim is just to get the exams over and done with and hopefully not sink under all the work!
I am aiming for 8s and 9s but I think I would be happy with a 7 for english lit and lang (not my strongest points). I might have to get a tutor in those subjects which honestly I am not very pleased about but yk it'll be worth it.
After this year is over I probably have to get a job in the summer lmao
Books for english literature:
- macbeth (haven't started it yet but preparing myself)
- pride and prejudice (dont really get it but love lizzy bennet)
- aic (suffering)
(power and conflict poetry)

how do you revise for rs?
Original post by ghghghghghghyh
how do you revise for rs?
I do aqa religion specification B. Paper 1: Catholic Christianity Paper 2: Judaism Beliefs and practises, Families and realtionships, peace and conflict.
In each exam there is a 1,2,4,5 and 12 marker.
1 mark: Revise key words. Hopefully you should be given these to you by your teacher but if not ask for them and the first mark is a very easy mark if you know your key words. (You can also use common sense most of the time).
2 mark: 2 features of something. You just need to revise and know all the topics well for this. For example revise passover to know how to answer the question: What two dishes are at the passover meal.
4 mark: Explain two things about something or a contrasting view. No need for evidence. Directly answer the question. Point, Explanation, Point, Explanation.
5 mark: Again explain two things about something or a contrasting view. YOU NEED evidence. You need to directly quote is and include what text it is from. E.g. Ten commandments in Exodus.
12 mark: Use this structure for a paragraph: Point, Explain, Evidence, Explain, Justify (Therefore i strong agree as this is a strong point/ However i slightly disagree with the point because...)
Paragraph format: Agree 1, Disagree 1, Agree 2, Disagree 2, Conclusion. The four paragraphs shows you have lots of knowledge=marks.
How to retain information:
I make really good notes on lesson with my teacher so i don't need to do any extra. I recommend kerboodle if you want to make notes.
Make mind maps of each topic of quotations for each topic (i like Ben Wardle on YT for his videos as he has key quotes. Ignore the Islam ones though.)
The most important thing is to do practise papers!! You can access these by searching up AQA r.e past papers. Practise this under timed conditions because it is easy to take too long writing a 12 marker.
Please ask my any questions because i am sure i have missed something. Hopefully this helps.

Hi I'm doing AQA history, French and religious studies . I'm not that excited for exams. I'm aiming for an 8 in history, an 8 in french, a 9 in RE , 7 or 8 in maths, a 9 in English, and an 8 in all the sciences at least. I might join the sixth form at my school and take applied science, biology, psychology and maths. I am doing An Inspector Calls, A Christmas Carol and currently doing Macbeth (my fav!!).
