I am just trying to pass on my knowledge to those who need it, yet you seem to think, clearly out of your own insecurity, that I am trying to gloat. You have no idea who I am because we are online, so why would I try to rub my marks in your face?

Wow! Well done your grades are incredible! How did you revise for chemistry? Are there any particular resources that helped you? Also, for English literature, did you have any specific ways to remember the quotes?

What's the best way to get that score in geography. I got 54% in my end if year exam which would equate to 136/252. I need to bump up my grade dramatically. Any help would be great.

Because the purpose of the post was to flex their ego, disguised as philanthropy. The only reply was to try and prove me wrong, but they didn't do so through their actions...

Certainly. Thank you for your message. I am sorry I could not answer sooner but some of the other messages demoralised me. So for geography I would recommend the Feynman method, hence through your textbook I would read through a few pages in detail and then recite it by writing it all down from memory. It works incredibly well but can take a little while. You will forget some of the information eventually but once repeated about 5 times through the year it should have built up in your memory. This is viewed as the best memorisation technique by professionals by the way. Languages are an entirely different beast. I would recommend downloading quizlet and going through vocabulary each day in the bus or something or just for about 20 minutes per day, but do not despair because I only did this from the last term onwards really. For speaking try and find a list of all possible questions they could ask you online (they do exist) and practice with a friend or family member. By the way, flashcards don’t really work for this, but quizlet is essential.

Straight 9s. Ask me anything?
