cool
Which online resources did you use for Maths, English and Science?
Maths = I just did every single past paper tbh and always went to my teacher if I didn’t understand something. I didn’t really use that many online resources apart from thegcsemathstutor on YouTube - he is fantastic!
English Language = know exactly how to do each question ie how to structure it. I only revised the week before and managed to get a high 9 just because I read books and studied examiners reports. You can take inspiration for creative writing from books like Jane Eyre that has lots of landscape descriptions. For persuasive writing READ THE NEWS and watch political debates just to make your writing sound eloquent.
English Lit = know your quotes. Read critical essays if u can eg. on jstor. I personally didn’t use Mr Bruff or Mr Salles because if you want to distinguish yourself, you have to use better quality and unique analysis.
Science = PRACTISE PAPERS. I literally did every one since 2010 - imo it’s the best way to learn.

Hey congratulations on these results! Good luck with your A Levels.
Do you have any advice for RS? It’s honestly my worst subject at the moment and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I did AQA so hopefully that’s the same exam board as you. Honestly use the oxford textbooks they have everything you need. Then I would make Quizlets and do lots of past papers. If you want to really elevate your essays then try and incorporate critics quotations eg. One I always used was Joseph Fletcher “the morality of an action is dependent on the situation”. If you’re nice to the teacher and engage well they will have no problem marking extra essays (I sent my RS teacher 54 essays haha and she marked them all!)

Yes I do AQA.
Wow that's a LOT of essays! 😳😅
Thank you for the tips, it's so nice of you to take from your time to give such good advice 😊 I'll definitely use it. 👍🏻
For remark, how many were you off to ask for remark?
