Hi darlings! After offering someone whilst responding to a thread, I thought I might as well make a post about it. I’ve just finished year 11 and going into sixth form now.
If you need help with English (AQA), History (OCR) or triple science (AQA) feel free to contact me on insta @vicky._.hale or snap @vickyhale1 and we can sort some time where we can FT & I’ll talk you through your subjects
Even if you don’t do the same exam board as I did for English, I can still help with essay writing/ analysis/exam spec/questions/poems/creative writing and Macbeth/Inspector Calls/A Christmas carol
Or just if you have any general questions about GCSEs don’t be afraid to ask <3

In my first mock for English I got 8/9 and then 9/9, I’ve done almost every practice paper under the sun and the actual exam didn’t feel erroneous in comparison. I did make some slip ups for other subjects exams but I don’t think it’s enough to severely diminish not getting a good grade, plus I could be exaggerating those mistakes due to being anxious about results. You’re right, I could open my results slip and find I completely bottled it, but that still doesn’t take away the fact I am able to get those marks outside of an exam hall. Inevitably yes we all have to be in an exam hall that’s what you’re prepping for but seeing as I’ve been in the situation I can advise people to not make same mistakes I did. Some people buckle under pressure and make silly mistakes however the actual fact I can perform outside of that doesn’t give a specific disadvantage to helping someone else practice for their long term goal. A lot of students who actually need specific help tend to be foundation tier students or people trying to bridge the gap between foundation and higher tier grades. Whether I get a 7 or a 9 I’m still able to help them with their goal grade. I get where you’re coming from,I could open my results and see I absolutely messed an exam and got way below my indicator, but I’m still just trying to help people achieve

this is so kind!! I do triple science AQA and in my year 10 mocks I got: biology-5, chemistry-5, physics-4 and I think I revised a lot so I am so so upset with this as I am aiming for: biology-8/9, chemistry-8/9, physics-7. already for revision I have made all my notes from free science lessons videos but now I don't really know what to do. I know I should do practice questions and past papers but I am so scared to do one then failing it ygm, non of my revision helps- what did you do for science revision and how did you make it effective?💞

Do you have any recommendations for things to do based around learning high level vocabulary for exams? I feel like sometimes thinking of better words to say in an exam situation causes me to slow down and prevents me from finishing well!

Look for synonyms of basic conjunctive words that you think will work, make sure you thoroughly understand what that word means because you can use the most judicious language you can blurt but if you don’t know the meaning the examiner will clock and it won’t really aid your marks. Just google synonyms for “...” and look what comes up. Write these on a piece of paper. I used to look over this piece of paper before my English exams and then further more on the day of my exams n that helped LOADS. Again its mindset, gets you into the groove of preparing for what you’re about to write. You see one word and start thinking of others. Mini brainstorm. If you have these words fresh in your mind before you even look at any of the questions you can quickly scribble them down on the back of ur exam to refer back to later once you’ve approached the questions. I would flick back and look at the vocab to give me a boost while writing. Hope that helps

Presuming that’s on higher not foundation? I think maybe what you’re struggling with is although you know what you’d like to say you’re not quite phrasing it right, or not saying enough to get the full marks from that question, orrr you haven’t actually understood what the question is asking. Free science lessons although it’s helpful realistically won’t get you the grades you’re looking for, it’s more of a simplistic version. Cgp guides do specially highlight things you need for higher marks and have tips. Don’t worry about the practice papers! Never be afraid to ask for help either, whether you don’t originally get a mark you’d like you can never get better if you don’t have a foundation to build on. After all you’re doing them to learn from them and to observe where you’re lacking. You’ll only ever actually find what your revision is missing until you look at where you’re losing the marks. Do you still have your mock papers? I could look over them for you and the mark scheme and help you out? Maybe go over some questions with you or something? I need more of a kinda depth into how you’re finding things currently to recommend something 💖
