Have u got wat tips on how to revise gcse english language please


For my mocks i just went through exam techniques/ what each question will be like and i went over the PEEL/PEA method of writing a paragraph.
Also for the writing section, copy/have a similar structure to the text they've already given and also from the given text choose 5 'good'/'stand out words' and use them in your writing.Hope that helps and be sure to get back to me if u need any more help!:u:

yess i have a book 'the snap revision reading/for english language' by collins which is ok. But my teacher actually made a revision booklet for English Language which is really good, and i'll try sending u the link for it- just keep reminding me:angelblush:
As for your English rev folder, i only have 1 for English Lit that has a section for each of the novels and another folder for poems.
What gcses r u doing and what exam board r they?

Hi, there. I didn't study RE for my GCSEs but I did History. With History, do you struggle with understanding the content or do you genuinely struggle with exam techniques and nailing the questions?

definitely mind-map posters for history- my walls are covered in them! they really help with cause/consequence. past papers are great for any subject, too.
