I got all 9s and A*s in my GCSEs, ask me anything!

Scroll to see replies

I scraaaaaped the 9. My school gave me a pack with everything we need to know for the exam, every equation to learn etc and I went through it the night before, until like 4am loool

My advice is to do as many past papers as possible. The hardest past papers you can find, and note down the areas you find hardest. Then just focus on those areas.

omggg if u still have the sheet with equations on or if u remember pls send them !!

How to get a 9 in combined science? By the way I’m doing AQA

It depends on the subject!
You can defo revise science the day before and still do well, granted you revise everything and do past papers too. A lot of my science revision was just me flipping through flashcards the day before, doing past papers, learning what I got wrong, then going through the flashcards again the morning of my exam.
I also revised French the day before, which honestly was barely any revision, it was just going through grammar.
For subjects like History, RS, Geo and English, i.e. essay subjects, I would try to revise a few days before if you haven't done so already. You can't learn that much content in one night.

I did all my revision in tables.
Each table was a theme, and my columns from left to right were:
Point (a short statement deriving from the theme), Evidence (a quote), Technique (literary device), Analysis (what the quote means), and Link (linking back to the theme/potential question)
This is called PETAL, it's how I structure my paragraphs and how I therefore structured my revision.
Learn quotes on quizlet. I would put a quote, for example, "Reader, I married him" on the back side and then a key word on the front, such as "married". I'd be prompted by the key word and then I'd type in the rest of the quote :smile:

Thankyou!!

I did edexcel, but as long as you stick to the spec religiously you'll know everything you need to know. And past papers are god!

QUIZLET!!! I learned all the quotes and I also made a sheet with the quotes on one side and their meanings on the other. Also, pair up poems and do some practice essays to see how they compare.

For your modern text, your answer can be super straight forward. Use the PETAL technique (point, evidence, technique, analysis, and link

You said AMA? Did you really just want to get comps on your grades and answer generic revision questions? I’ve got A*A*A* at a level and have tried ****ing my cousin before.
