I also struggled with English language at GCSE. In my mocks I got a 4 and I was predicted a 6 at the time. Something I found really useful was the English language revision guide and workbook - I did Edexcel but there should be one for WJEC too. If you can't find one, you could still use the Edexcel ones since English language isn't immensely different across exam boards. You might also want to practise writing narratives or annotating texts under timed conditions. In my mocks I was terrible at analysing and annotating the texts, but I definitely improved after practising this. In the actual exam I ended up getting a 9 and I never would have thought I could get that. Don't worry you have time to practise and improve.

For English language, I got a 4 last year. I'm in year 11 now. We had mocks in December, and I got a 9 in English language. Personally, I just watched Mr Bruff's videos on youtube and then did some past papers.

Hi, I did my GCSE's last year and was lucky enough to get 9's in both language and literature. Admittedly I'm an aspiring writer, so it's definitely one of my fortes, but my biggest piece of advice for language is to read. A lot. I don't know if that's something you're doing already, but reading anything (particularly fiction) will really improve your vocabulary and even just the way you write. It sounds stupid, but it honestly makes such a difference. Choose something you'll enjoy though, because GCSE's are enough of a chore without that on top!

In terms of the writing quality, avoid repetition where possible (unless it's for effect), and try to vary your sentence structure. When it comes to answering questions, I also suggest jotting down brief answer plans on a scrap piece of paper, even if it's only a few bullet points, so you know what you're going to say before you start writing. That'll really help with things like topic sentences, paragraphs and flow. The same goes for Section B. I know the time pressure in exams is scary, but an examiner is much less likely to give a good grade to a huge wall of unorganised, poorly thought through text than they are a paragraphed, clearly structured argument - even if the points they made were roughly the same.

The most important thing though is to keep at it, and not give up. Read through some model answers, and ask your teachers for specific feedback on your work. One of the boys in my class wasn't happy with his mock grade, so he dedicated himself to writing one extra practice essay a week until the exams. Luckily for him our teacher agreed to mark them (if somewhat reluctantly), and give him the feedback he needed - he ended up with two 9's for the real thing.

Good luck, and hope I helped!

But when u revised how did u mark your practice papers or do u have to get a teacher to mark then or does it not matter as long as you practice it because I dont have anyone who can mark it for me.

Your best bet is asking your teacher (if you have one) or getting an English tutor, I’d recommend mytutor. Personally I wouldn’t bother marking it yourself because you don’t have the experience of an English teacher. Other than that, perhaps you could post your work in the English forums requesting for feedback?
