Hi! I am in year 10 and am doing a GCSE English language speech in December. I have a few questions regarding the exam. Firstly, who is going to assess me? Will it be my teacher or will I get recorded and will the video will be sent to my english exam board (aqa)? If the video does get sent off, how long does it take to get your results and how do you get them (e.g. email)? In your school did you do all the exams in a day or across multiple lessons? Were you off timetable on that day?

heya i remember my english language speech distinctly, but i think every school is a bit different so you might need to check. for me, i had to present my speech (kinda like a presentation on a topic i wanted to explore a bit on) in front of the class and my teacher was assessing me live. i don't remember her recording me (sorry!), but for me, i got my results on the actual gcse results day because i am pretty sure i did mine in year 11...? we did it across multiple lessons (like 2 or 3) and we weren't off-timetable.

how is year 10 going so far (if you have started!)!
Hi thanks for making this thread😊
My name is Daniella and I’m from London
For GCSE I’m taking: Drama, History, RS, French (and ofc the compulsory ones)
I’m hoping and aiming for straight 9’s
The last show I watched on Netflix was The Circle (would highly recommend it)
My go-to quote would be: Don’t wait for opportunities. Create them.

It’s going well! I just started today, and I have decided to make my revision cards as I go along for Computing, History and my Sciences because I have a feeling they are going to have the most content. Also I have the same teachers as last year for a lot of my subjects, so thats good. Thanks again for making this thread, and I hope the rest of you have had a good first day

It's not too bad, I'm with a few of my friends for most of my classes, so it's quite nice. Although, it feels like a huge jump from year 9, so it's a bit tiring, but I'm sure I'll get used to it soon!
1) name and where you are from - my name is izzy
2) what subjects you are taking at GCSE
I'm taking physics, biology, chemistry, R.S & Ethics, sociology, history, english language, english language, French and maths!
3) the grades you are hoping to get in Year 11
Mainly 8s and 9s with a couple of 7s
4) the latest netflix show/movie you've watched
Not on netflix but im currently watching the summer i turned pretty and im on s2 e3!
5) your go-to positive/motivational quote or affirmation - your best is your best and others' best is irrelevant to you.
y10 feels like such a big jump from y9 tbh
