GCSE grades improvement?

9

I am aiming for all grades 8-9 (as many 9's as possible) in all my subjects I am in year 11 and this is where I'm at (advice appreciated)
-English lit:9
-English lang:8 ( I know how to improve its fine)
-Maths: 7 (I have a tutor and still struggle)
-Chem:6 (got a tutor starting next week and my teacher and tutor both said they're confident I'll get a high grade)
-Bio:9
-Physics: 7 (I struggle sm with it)
-History: 8 (I think with more practice I'll get a 9, I'm not far off)
-Geography: 8 (it was just barely an 8, I really struggle to revise geography)
-French: 7 (its my writing thats bad, I need help to make it better, I use high level grammar, just incorrectly 💀)
-Further maths: Haven't had the first mock yet (I need help)

What worked REALLY well for me for Spanish and Chinese was listening to music in those languages. Non. Stop.

Got really into it, started analysing the usage of structures and vocabulary in songs, and fell in love with the languages. Ended up getting top 1% in the world for both, largely as a result of this.

Best of luck!

For math try and use Maths genie and have a go at the questions corresponding to the contents. Do past papers as well, it's impossible for anyone to get a grade 9 without having enough practice.

I would say Physics and Maths go down the same path, given that physics has a lot of calculations to do. This should mean you are doing past papers for this as well. If your stuck with any topics try and watch Free science lessons, cognito. Physics And Maths is a great tool you can use for notes.

For physics I made sure to do every practice question i could get on physics and maths tutor and made sure to know my unit conversions - i just memorised them - I am not the best at maths (7) but in physics I do quite well (9) so the main thing I do is focus on knowing the theory for everything so that the marks i loose for the maths are not as bad

GCSE Maths Tutor's yt channel is good for maths.
For physics and chemistry I suggest freesciencelessons.
It's really important to do past papers for the science subjects and memorise the answers as they always ask the same questions just in a different format.

I would strongly consider dropping level 2 FMaths if you are struggling GCSE Maths.

Which board is your Maths?
