Anyone can give me some tips for English Literature? Thank you a lot!

Hey Tania,

You should use York notes which are really good and maybe make flashcards for them which will be useful when your revising in year 11 before the exams.

Also use Mr bruffs youtube channel which has beem really useful for me!

Hope this helps☺️

I'm in year 10. 14 years old turning 15 soon. High-key depressed about my gcses. moved schools twice in the last year. I'm now back in the school I was in before and have a ton of stuff to catch up with.
I cant seem to start catching up. I bought all the textbooks I need. I can never manage to make myself start studying though. Whenever I try I end up getting distracted a lot by tsr and other stuff.
Any advice would be appreciated :smile:

A fellow Army I see but yeah I'm finding it really difficult to concentrate too :redface:

Anyone have any tips of French-speaking, listening and also some ideas other than flashcards to memorise french vocab.

Please give me ideas and ways to improve and become best, and not opinions and assumptions on how you could get better. Someone who had got 9 cuz of the technique they used to study french, hit me up by replying the techniques and methods used.
I know a total of about 2 languages already, my mother-tongue and English. So any ideas, techniques, tricks....
I am so desperate to get a 9 in french to say you'll honestly
Thanks first of all for reading through this. Hopefully you'd reply

Hi,
I was supposed to be sitting my French exams early this year, but they got cancelled :sigh:

.

To memorise French vocab, I don't tend to use physical flashcards although my teacher has recommended it before. I prefer Quizlet because I mainly use Learn Mode and the Test function, but it's also got Flashcards on there so it might be useful to look into (this is presuming that you do physical flashcards :dontknow:

). You can also create your own sets, or find sets that other people have already created.

I would also highly, highly recommend using Memrise on a frequent basis. People underestimate the power of this tool, but it is specifically designed to boost active recall and it's basically the tool that gave me solid foundations to progress higher (in terms of vocab). I would strongly recommend using either Memrise or Quizlet at least once a day to keep on top of vocabulary.

Have you ever tried blurt pages for vocabulary? If not then I'll explain what they are in another post, but they can be highly useful :yep:

. Also just using the vocabulary you have learned in writing and speaking will boost your memory of them, as you will form connections based on your experiences with the language.

For speaking, I think it's highly important that you first look at the changes that Ofqual have made based on the exam, if you haven't already. You should find a link somewhere either in this thread or in the other Year 10 group chat thread. Generally for speaking, I just complete practice exam questions and look over grammar (I didn't really memorise answers for the general conversation so idrk how to advise you :blushing:

).

For listening, again vocabulary is essential. If you don't have a CGP book, then I would invest in one as it's a true life-saver, it has so many practice questions and example responses that will really stretch you and help you see the types of answers that get a Grade 9. If you get the purple one, it has exam papers at the back as well . Specifically for listening, I would recommend going through those tasks and noting down vocabulary that you did not understand from the transcripts. Create Quizlet sets afterwards.

There is a website called Forvo which is great for listening to pronounciations on individual words, if that is what you need. Generally, listening to French music and French Youtube is a great way to immerse yourself in the language, learn and enjoy yourself at the same time. Plus it makes the listening in the exams seem so much slower, after listening to native speakers :dance:

.

This is pretty much all I can think of atm. Could I just ask, what grade are you currently working at? I hope this helps a little, and feel free to PM me if you would like something checked over :smile:

Welcome to Year 10 ultimate study group

After speaking to a few of you in the general chat thread, it seemed clear loads of people were looking for a place to chat, work together, share resources and generally study.... so here it is!!!

This thread is currently for absolutely every subject, but if here is demand to split out the conversation into different subjects or exam boards let me know and I will see what I can do :smile:

I will keep the post below up to date with any useful resources or links that are shared in this thread. We may also run some fun competitions from time to time to keep things interesting and stop everyone going crazy with boredom!

If you are struggling with what your first post should be, why not share with us:

- Introduce yourself

- Subject choices

- What you are currently working on

- What you want to achieve next year

- Any extra curricular stuff you are doing for fun

If there is anything else you would like let me know.

Happy studying :biggrin:

Good luck Class of 2021! :rave:
