Honestly, I find the mood/atmosphere questions the easiest. The essay ones are my biggest problem. The way I do past papers is answer the question and take it to the teacher - they are the best people to tell you how to improve :smile:


Agreed. I'm doing character and voice.

Haha, a friend of mine used to text song names and we would have about 2 hours of conversations - funny how things repeat :biggrin:

UPDATE FOR 23/03/16

I managed to get a bit more done today:

Revision class (Physics) Renewable/Non renewable energy, off peak electricity and generating electricity

Draft notes on Chromatography, Chemical production, Allotropes of carbon, percentage yield

German past paper questions & identified new vocab

30 Revision cards on German

Learned some more of my answer (German)

What a pretentious thread

School bits:
Hi Everyone,

I'm in year 11 so I will be sitting my GCSEs in less than 100 days (eek). I also had mocks on the 22nd Feb so keeping this thread made sure I kept up with my revision. At the moment my targets and grades are:

(WJEC) English Language: A*
(WJEC) English Literature: A*
(Edexcel) Maths: A*
(OCR Gateway B) Biology: A*
(OCR Gateway B) Chemistry: A*
(OCR Gateway B) Physics: A*
(AQA) German: A*
(OCR Modern) History: A*
(AQA) Geography: A*
(OCR National) ICT: A*

Some of you may look at this and wonder how I can improve, but I set really high standards and in some of my mocks I have been getting 84/85 and scores like that, so I am working towards getting as high a mark as possible, and not just securing the grade.

Hopefully, if I can get the grades, I want to go on to college and study Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Geology.

Personal bits:
If you want a bit of background I've always been quite good academically (though I genuinely hate to admit it) but I believe it is down to the fact that I have severe Atopic Eczema (that the specialist said was the worst in 30 years) and because of this, I have found studying to be a worthy distraction. I also can't see out of my left eye which makes life interesting but I like it that way. If I can work hard enough, and get into University, I will be the first person in my family to do so, and considering my parents have barely any qualifications, this is definitely something I aspire to.

A few last words:
I am open to any advice or constructive criticism and I am happy to help anyone too.

If you want to find out more about me as a person I would be happy to post info and along the way, I will be detailing revision I have done, so if you would like to see pictures of it just let me know and I'll be happy to upload :smile:

Mocks (22nd Feb)
Here's the posts I made about the mocks I have just taken :smile:


How did you personally revise for subjects such as physics or geography? I know you do past papers but how did you make notes/learn and consolidate all the information?
