design and technology, history, geography and spanish


I got a 9 on my Spanish last year and my best advice is:
- learn your speaking really really well
- have a load of phrases to use in the writing (eg diría que) on hand, including in all 3 tenses.
- learn your vocab really really well

I got an 8 in history:
- do flash cards of key events/people
- have a solid essay structure that can be used and adapted easily

I got a 9 in English lit:
- make flash cards for all characters/themes with quotes
- know 2 poems of each theme really really well as one will be printed for you and you have to compare one.

I got a 9 in biology:
- make flashcards
- do loads of practice questions, paying special attention to mark schemes
- use Seneca.

I also got:
- physics = 8
- chemistry = 8
- English lang = 8
- maths = 7
I know these aren’t as good so I don’t want to give you advice that you don’t want haha. But let me know if you want stuff for any of those ones.
Hope that helps!!
