2025 GYG yr 11

hi , I’m aiming for all 9’s in GCSE’s next year .. for reference these are my mock exam grades which were done in April
Maths-5 (disappointed considering I’m in set 1 and have high aspirations)
English literature-7
English language-6
Chemistry-6
Physics-7
Biology-7(2 marks of a 8!)
Built environment-L2* (9)
Art-never got result back however my teacher said I’m working at a low 8?
What should I do this year to bump up my grades to 8/9’s?
For English how can I improve my textual analysis for example when looking at a quote , how can I articulate top band analysis ?

It would be helpful to know what you do now to revise especially math's?

Okay that's definitely the right way to go, but I would recommend that you try active revision. For example try teaching others, maybe even just pretend, topics that your weak on. Do spaced repetition. For English I would try blurting on mind maps : get a sheet of paper a3 if you can and write a theme in the middle. For Macbeth maybe Kingship then from memory try and develop deep analysis with quotes. Once your done go through videos and teacher notes to see if there's any analysis that could have been useful to your theme.
To get top band analysis try and understand the historical, social, and cultural contexts of the texts you study. This can deepen your analysis and enrich your interpretations.
May I ask what you want to be in the future if you know?

Thank you, I’ll try it out in my next study session! I’m thinking of pursuing architecture or a career in which I can do art and science combined
