As someone who got 8 in both lang and lit this year, practice papers are amazing, but they only properly work with other study methods! A favourite of mine for lit was to have a friend quiz me on a set of flashcards (e.g. Banquo in Macbeth, fear in J&H), wait an hour & then complete a practice question on that topic. It's just a nice easy method to combine 2 different study methods.

To be honest, for lang the biggest issue was time running away from me in my mocks, so instead of doing timed papers, I did timed readings & question answers. For example, I'd have to try to find 10 different techniques in a sample text in 5 minutes, or I'd set a 10 minute timer and do one question instead of the full hour forty five for the whole paper. It just helps with making sure you don't go over in one question and have too little time for another.

Good luck everyone! And remember, exams do not define you :smile:

Year 10 Mock Grades:

English: 8-8
Maths: 4
Science: 6-7
Art: 8
History: 6
RPE: 8
Computer Studies: 6

Grades I hope I get:

English: 9-9
Maths: 6 or 7
Science: 8-9
Art: 8
History: 7
RPE: 9
Computer Studies: 8

Tbh I'm being pretty hopeful as it is, I'm really just trying to get everything above a five especially maths, my computer studies and maths grade was already lowered as we didn't have any year 11 questions cut out. Really just stuck working on revising rn.
