summaya’s gcse academic comeback 💪

i know this sounds kinda repetitive but I’m starting a gyg since I’ve seen it all over tsr

these are my subjects and what I got for my mocks (and which are kinda bad since I didn’t revise for basically all my subjects):

maths - 8
further maths - 7
biology - 6
chemistry - 8
physics - 7
french - 6
geography - 7
english lang - 7
english lit - 6


wallahi I need tips for lit as I always end up with a grade 6 and I am hoping to boost this to a grade 8 as well as for english lang

i also need tips for bio and physics since I really want to do it for a level and I also want 999 or 998 for sciences

feel free to ask any questions or give advice below

p.s. I am aiming for all 8’s and 9’s and maybe a 7

kinda bad?! these are fantastic grades already lol
for bio, i made LOTS of flashcards, basically just lots of memorisation for that subject imo 🤷*♀️
also i did igcse english language, got a 9, basically you just need to write LOADS, the quality doesn't have to be too good, just lots of the PEARL/PEEL/etc paragraphs

i went through all the topics on maths genie (well not all of them) and wrote down the ones that I was stuck on especially for paper 2 since I do edexcel also paper 1 brought my grade down because my school made the paper difficult on purpose :frown:

anyways what I recommend doing is going on either maths genie or 1st class maths and going through the topics and doing practice questions and past papers once you have gone through the content fully

I hope this helped :smile:

you can definitely get a 7, 8, or a 9 if you’re committed towards improving your maths grade
