This is where you can chat to others students taking your subject as you prepare for any assessments or grading that your teachers will be setting you over the next few months.
What can I do in these groups?
Almost anything! If you need help with a certain topic, want to rant about something you are struggling with or just want to support students struggling, this is the place for you. We want these to be a useful place for everyone no matter what you're looking for!

Asking or offering copyright papers is against our site rules, and so is taking conversation off-site to do these things. Any posts doing this will be removed. That's the only rule
Ice Breaker questions if you want to use them!

I do OCR, aiming for at least a B! We're gonna get a modified paper next week to be sat in full exam conditions and it will be one piece of evidence towards our final grades.. im preparing my doing more exam questions that i always lose marks on!
I do AQA, and I’m aiming for an A* as I’d love to do it as part of Natural Sciences at Cambridge! I do Cornell notes to revise, and lots of practice questions. I only switched to biology 2 weeks before starting year 12 and I am very glad I did!

Hi will the paper be the June 2020 OCR A one or are the school doing their own? Good luck!

Interesting, I'd not come across Cornell notes prior to reading this comment. It looks good, I wish I'd taken a similar approach during my studying process - I've had to teach myself how to learn again, after a while out of education. I'm taking AQA too, although I'm a private student. Got a conditional from UCL for the course that I have my heart set on, but I've got to get an A. I'm squirming.

I would highly recommend the Miss Estruch YouTube channel- maybe make some Cornell notes from those (they’re concise enough to give the information without taking forever), write summaries for them and you’ll end up understanding them easier. Well done on your offer- you’ve got this!
