Hiya
Just making this in advance to the current Yr10 2022-23 thread! As far as I know there isn't one for this?
Feel free to ask questions, put revision resources etc
Help each other out and be supportive
A long year ahead yk
Be friendly no hate will be tolerated!
I take English lit and lang, maths, triple science, music, fine art, history and Chinese mandarin
So I can help with these subjects but any other is pretty much the same
Good luck to everyone and I wish yall the best!

For GCSE students! I have made a weekly check-in thread where GCSE & A Level students can vote how they're feeling in a poll and we can briefly discuss why you are feeling this way in order to uplift and support each other in the run-up to exam season!

Teachers have told me that they are planning on going back to 2019 boundaries which were one of the hardest

no way, it seems illogical to do that - imagine aqa 2019 boundaries are very high and this year's chemistry paper was contrastingly difficult; say only 2% of students who took the test achieved top grades according to this 2019 boundary. Too little grade 9s would be given out and those who deserved a higher grade would achieve a lower one instead.
Alternatively, if this chemistry exam was too easy, too many people would achieve what 2019 would say is a grade 9, so too many grade 9s are handed out instead.
Grade boundaries adjust to the students of the corresponding year, not the other way around :smile: . Hope this is reassuring - maybe your teachers are trying to encourage your class to revise hard haha

yes my user is a kpop ref. I love kpop its the only thing keeping me going rn im so glad u noticed 😭 im listening to my 1200 song kpop playlist rn haha. Ok 1) lets be friends, 2) i do aic and j&h, so for structuring my paragraphs i have to make sure theres a really strong point because its like a first impression to the examiner. Say we are talking about a jekyll and hyde question with an extract, i would usually base my point off of the extract by picking quotes with good methods, and after im done talking about the extract i would say "this is reinforced by...." and then talk about a quote from another point in the novel. For example, if i got an extract of the murder in chapter 4, i would go with a point saying that hyde is violent, pick a quote from the extract like 'bones audibly shattered', analyse the methods then "this is reinforced by when hyde 'trampled calmly' over the girl" bla bla bla. Basically:
Point, extract evidence, extract method analysis, extract writers intentions, 'this is reinforced by..', other chapter evidence,then repeat the same peel process with evidence from another point in j and h, boom marks. (watch me get a 6 after this lol)

omg ur a txt fan!

what school do you go to?

We're so similar ! That's really cool haha. Computing certainly is a proper a level; i wonder why she thinks so? How does a level computing work in ur school ? In mine you literally build a game or app or website of ur own and learn about the structure of a computer
I'm kinda scared to say my school name in case anybody i know is on here 💀
