I can help with English if there’s any specific questions you have. Haven’t done my GCSEs yet but got a 9 and A* in my end of year so I guess that counts for something x

I got straight 9s by revising 2 hours in the morning and 6 at night.
When did you start this schedule? I'm more than determined to stick to that
Hi, I am currently in year 11 and I have my GCSES this year and I am stressing out because i got my mock results and they’re really bad I’m at 2/3&4’s and I’m stressing out because I want to get 7/8’s and I feel like giving up because I don’t think I am capable of achieving those grades AT ALL. And I feel like I’m going to fail really badly. Any advice ? ...
Guys how do you stop stress attacks (if thats a thing lol) and how do you lose the fear of failing. Because im Under so much stress i physically feel sick and cant do my work and burst into tears this happens nd i stop doing my work then ill feel guilty about it. I ALWAYS PROCRASINATE REVISION

Could you make your self obsession any more obvious? If so how?
okay so we just started doing poetry at our school but what i would recommend is to make a list of all the “zooming terminology” e.g caesura, enjambment with the definitions so you can refer to it and get yourself the high marks. If you ever see a complex word in another person’s essay always search it up! You can then learn the word and use it in your own essays. With structure try to just go for the basic “PEEZL”:
1) Make a point. So if the question is how does the poet display their feelings about love powerfully and if maybe they use a lot of similes you could say something like: The poet strikingly demonstrates their love through the use of simile
2. Evidence. Why did you say what you said as the point? e.g Where in the text are there similes?
3. Explain. So talk abt the quote you’ve picked and explain it’s context w the rest of the poem- e.g why is ____ compared to ______ (if we’re continuing the simile example)
4. Zoom. This is where you try to use your terminology. Talk about juxtaposition, about alliteration, about personification, etc etc
5. Link. This is where all of your zooming has to connect back to the question. it’s all well and good to write down some fancy words but what’s the point? Why did the poet try to use these techniques? how does it help reinforce the poet’s main point?
And you should aim to make about 3 PEEZLS in an essay. So it would be Intro/ PEEZL x3/ Conclusion! X

does anyone have any tips for 9s especially in comp sci (ocr) and science (i do aqa triple higher if that’s helps) x (i’m in y11 and while my essay subjects are going well, sciences are soo inconsistent!!)
I’m no expert but my advice for AQA sciences is to use the specification to make your revision notes. A lot of people lose marks because they don’t use key words or the correct wording and it’s a shame. It also means you aren’t learning unnecessary things that textbooks may add.
Even at A-level these science specs are brilliant, they make revision so much easier.
Good luck!

Started around March. I created a 2-week timetable and had 2h in the morining from 6:00 to 8:00. Then after school it was from 16:00 to 19:00 or 20:00 (I can't remember). I did 2 subjects in the morning and 3 in the evening. Also, WakeUpTime on Spotify really helped and even changed my outlook on life. I'd say the main thing you need is just the motivation to succeed.

People stress over GCSEs still? What a joke.
I don’t think that’s fair - i’m sure when you did GCSEs you were stressed as well. Just because you’ve grown up and there are things you find harder now doesn’t mean you should criticise the stress people have when they’re experiencing the hardest exams of their lives so far.

Couldn't have said it better
