I greet you with a warm welcome to my GCSE Grow Your Grades blog. I understand I'm late by around 4 months.
That's because I'm new to TSR .
This seemed like an interesting idea, so I decided to take part.

Contrary to what the title suggests, I'm wishing on multiple A*'s or 8's as the new grading system says.

Preferably, five 8's.

I feel doubtful of my ambitions, but I truly do hope to reach my goals.

Note: You may notice that, sometimes, the dates I publish the blogs are different from the dates I write above the entry. This is because I usually write my blogs into the notepad in my mobile before tranferring them onto TSR using a computer. Please ignore the published dates because that might make it a bit confusing. I hope you enjoy reading my blog .

Oh no😩 don’t worry! Lol it’s quite confusing at first

Mashallah, your predicted grades are high and I am lovingg the start to your GYG. Inshallah you get the grades that you aspire for and may Allah may it easy for you. xx

P.S Keep posting regularly. This thread is one to watch

Hi! Good luck with your GYG! I did Sociology and Computer Science GCSEs last year. What exam boards are you doing? I can give you some tips if you want

In regard to computer science, I know cgp do an exam questions workbook and I'm pretty sure they also do some actual practice papers so they might be beneficial

Best of luck! You'll soon get the hang of TSR but if you struggle with anything, just let me know and I'll try and point you in the right direction

I look forward to your updates

Thank you
I'm doing AQA Sociology and OCR Computer Science
There are practice papers for Computer Science 9-1,right? I heard that there aren't many, but there's got to be some or else I'll spontaneously combust out of dread.
Are there any revision tips you've got for Sociology or Computer Science for me? I'd appreciate them .

I did AQA Sociology, but Edexcel Computing.

As for past papers, do the ones from the old specification as I doubt they would be much different - the layout may be different and some of the content, but overall it should be similar

For sociology, I think you may be doing a new specification which has a different layout for past papers, but the 12 markers are the same, so I can give you some tips on that

Sociology 12 markers

Structure

1. Intro:

Example:
Question - To what extent is there no typical family in the UK?
Intro - A typical family is also referred to as a nuclear family, which consists of two parents with their dependent children. Due to several factors such as divorce and changes in attitudes, other family types such as single parents and homosexual couples have increased in popularity [maybe some statistics?], meaning the traditional nuclear family may not be the typical family in the UK.

2. Paragraph FOR:

Example:
Some sociologists may argue that there is a typical family in the UK: the nuclear family. This means that the roles of both parents are segregated, whereby the woman acts as the homemaker: caring for children and the house, and the man acts as the breadwinner: going out to work and earning the money. Ann Oakley's research showed that women performed 72 hours of housework on average. This shows that women are still largely performing the role of the homemaker, suggesting that the nuclear family still exists. This means that there is a typical family in the UK.

3. Paragraphs AGAINST (x3):

Example:
On the other hand, divorce rate has increased in the past 50 years. In 2015, 2 out of 5 marriages ended in divorce. This has caused an increase in lone parent households, which consist of a parent, typically women, and their dependent children. Furthermore, this increase in divorce rate, has caused reconstituted families to rise, as more people remarry. [Statistic?] Therefore, there is no typical family in the UK.

4. Conclusion:

In conclusion, I believe that there is no longer a typical family in the UK due to the emergence of other family types such as lone parent families and homosexual couples, however, the nuclear family still remains the most common family type in the UK.

For computing, I found a guy on Youtube who made really useful videos, however it was for Edexcel... but I'm sure there are some videos for OCR too

Hope this helped

Thank you very much!
I'm thankful enough to be doing the old specifications
I feel sorry for year 10s
They have to learn more about specific sociologists
Do you remember the guys name?

Also is this showing up quoted or is it just me

Mashallah brother or sister if you are a girl!
