english language q3 4/8

lad I got 8/8 u just have to comment on tonal shifts and **** like paragraph sturtcure and what it symbolises. They usually have a cycical sturtcure, also, it will usually have something to do with teh main character so talk abt how it makes a reader empathise with teh character. Talk about chronolgy if u can. Also, the best piece of advice that the holy Grant gave us is talk about where something is put and its significance. Also for paper 1 u have to be very conceptual so like make a proper waffly reason for y the structure symbolises xyz

Ok, I understand how someone could see it that way. However, I didn’t create this thread for those people. As I said, I looked up to people who created threads like this one a couple of years ago and I loved being able to ask specific questions. I’m doing it for the people who like these threads, not the people who don’t. Nevertheless, I will add a disclaimer into my original post to make this clear. Thank you for your input

Bro honestly well done for tackling that user so respectfully, don't understand the need for them to be so disrespectful, but people are annoying in that way- Also I appreciate ur thread as it has been helping me with my work! :smile:

IMPORTANT EDIT: This post is not intended to be boastful in any way. I am just trying to help people get these grades because I think that if you’re reading this you absolutely can. I read a lot of these posts when I was in year 10 and 11 and I found them really helpful and inspiring which was my intention when creating this post.

Hi, I'm currently a year 12 student studying Maths, Further Maths, Physics and CS and I got all 9s at GCSE. The subjects I took this year were:
Further Maths (AQA)
English Lang (Edexcel IGCSE)
English Lit (Edexcel IGCSE)
Bio (Edexcel IGCSE)
Chem (Edexcel IGCSE)
Physics (Edexcel IGCSE)
Geography (Cambridge IGCSE)
DT (AQA)
Economics (Edexcel IGCSE)
CS (AQA)

I also had three more GCSEs from previous years:
Maths (Edexcel IGCSE)
Spanish (Edexcel IGCSE)
French (Edexcel IGCSE)

Disclaimers:
Technically Geography was an A* because I did the old spec which is graded using A*-G. For the languages I will say that I am fluent in both so I think that rlly helped me especially as I did them early. This post is not meant to brag by any means, I'm here to answer all the questions that you have about GCSEs, my study process, etc. and I will say that my grades were the product of years of intense hard work and effort.

If anyone is wondering what my best exam was in terms of percentage, it was Further Maths in which I got 98% and lost 3 marks total. I got the exact same percentage in Maths too so I think that that is my strongest subject.

A subject that I could probably give a lot of advice on is English as it did not come naturally to me and I had to work super hard in order to get the grade that I got. Unfortunately, English Lit in particular wasn't as high as I had hoped but I still managed to scrape a 9.

Please ask me any question you want. It could be related to a certain subject or just general exam advice. I hope I can help!

hello!

funnily enough, I am looking to do the same subjects as you are when I go to college, and my weak point is English as well! especially literature!

I am constantly getting 8s in lit and sometimes a scrape 9s - however I want to receive 9s on a consistent basis so I can secure it for my actual gcses. I would really really appreciate any advice you could give me on literature at all, as that is the only 9 I need to get 🙂 thank you so much!!

How many hours did you revise per day and what grades did you get at mocks?

What were your key techniques for analyzing and interpreting texts in English Literature, and how did you effectively integrate these analyses into your essays? Additionally, could you outline your approach to time management, particularly how you balanced intensive study across multiple demanding subjects like Maths and Physics alongside English Lit?

Hi! I'd just like to know if you have any tips on English Lit, I'm doing the same exam board as you and I just got my results of an 11/20 on the Extended Essay on a practice paper I'm doing in Year 9. Apparently, I was asked to "work on the structure of my response" but I thought that the structure I was doing was fine. I had a point, a quotation to back it up and then I zoomed on in the key words and explained the effect that the quotation has on the reader. I did these for about 4 different quotations and included a conclusion, but still only managed to get an 11.
Do you mind telling me where I'm going wrong here?
Much thanks 🙏❤️

For the languages I will say that I am fluent in both so I think that rlly helped me especially as I did them early. This post is not meant to brag by any means, I'm here to answer all the questions that you have about GCSEs, my study process, etc. and I will say that my grades were the product of years of intense hard work and effort.

If anyone is wondering what my best exam was in terms of percentage, it was Further Maths in which I got 98% and lost 3 marks total. I got the exact same percentage in Maths too so I think that that is my strongest subject.

A subject that I could probably give a lot of advice on is English as it did not come naturally to me and I had to work super hard in order to get the grade that I got. Unfortunately, English Lit in particular wasn't as high as I had hoped but I still managed to scrape a 9.

Please ask me any question you want. It could be related to a certain subject or just general exam advice. I hope I can help!

I am considering on choosing either a combination of Biology and Chemistry or Computer Science and Physics. But, the thing is that I enjoy Computer Science, well mainly coding, but hate Physics. I definitely doing Further Maths and Maths, and don't know anything about the other two for my A-Levels. I don't know what to do. In the future, it's either medicine or coding, but I don't know. Help. TT

Could you tell me how to get high grades in general for the sciences and english? Please. :3

IMPORTANT EDIT: This post is not intended to be boastful in any way. I am just trying to help people get these grades because I think that if you’re reading this you absolutely can. I read a lot of these posts when I was in year 10 and 11 and I found them really helpful and inspiring which was my intention when creating this post.

Hi, I'm currently a year 12 student studying Maths, Further Maths, Physics and CS and I got all 9s at GCSE. The subjects I took this year were:
Further Maths (AQA)
English Lang (Edexcel IGCSE)
English Lit (Edexcel IGCSE)
Bio (Edexcel IGCSE)
Chem (Edexcel IGCSE)
Physics (Edexcel IGCSE)
Geography (Cambridge IGCSE)
DT (AQA)
Economics (Edexcel IGCSE)
CS (AQA)

I also had three more GCSEs from previous years:
Maths (Edexcel IGCSE)
Spanish (Edexcel IGCSE)
French (Edexcel IGCSE)

Disclaimers:
Technically Geography was an A* because I did the old spec which is graded using A*-G.
