Official 2017 GCSE Exam Predictions

Are you maths IGCSE or GCSE for Edexcel?
And are your sciences AQA GCSE or AQA IGCSE?
Those are the only subjects I do the same boards as you in but as IGCSE, not GCSE lol

I am doing:
Maths Edexcel IGCSE
CIE English lit&lang
GCSE OCR 21st Century A Biology, Chemistry, Physics higher tier
RS AQA
History edexcel IGCSE
and drama and mandarin but those ones are not relevant.

What topics are you doing for RS?

Mark's Gospel and Christian ethics - you?

Same!! lol

How are you revising for Mark's Gospel. I find it hard to learn all the texts and quotes.

Hi everyone
I have made this thread as a way for us all to put our heads together and to predict what is likely to come up in our exams in 2017.

Feel free to chat to me privately about anything so we can brainstorm ideas.

I am studying:

Biology(OCR)
Chemistry(OCR)
Physics(OCR)
Maths(edexcell)
English Language(AQA)
English Literature(AQA) (studied power and conflict poems, Romeo and Juliet, Jane Eyre, Inspector Calls)
History(AQA)

For the sciences do you do higher tier? It's the last year for this spec so idk what questions they'll throw at us! And do you do maths edexcel IGCSE or GCSE because I do IGCSE

I'm doing

Maths higher edexcel
english lit aqa

triple biology edexcel
triple physics edexcel

My english teacher has predicted "London" as the poem to come up for english literature

Ye, i'm doing separate sciences and higher tier as I'm doing triple science. I've been looking at a lot of past papers familiarizing with what topics tend to come up frequently and how they ask certain questions. I think i'm doing IGCSE for maths, if its the 1-9 grading system, then yes i am!

i'm really worried about sciences purely because it's the last year of this spec so i have no idea what they'll throw at us -- really hoping they'll recycle questions. you might be doing iGCSE but I'm still doing the A* system so you're doing the new system. same goes for maths - heard they'll be giving us all the reject hard questions ahh. has anyone started revising yet? I'm just writing notes for sciences and RS

err im the type of person to just revise quotes probs a few days before, spurt them out onto paper and forget them as soon as exam is over, so i cant rly give you advice on that. however i find doing past papers as notes rly help. the text books have rly unnecessary info you dont need to know. but if you do Qs as notes they take ages i STILL haven't finished MG notes or even started ethics. how are you revising for it?

For me I just try to highlight and memorise quotes and passages but I struggle to answer the 6 marks. Typically I get a 5/6 or 4/6 but I dont know how to gain those extra marks.
