Helpppp💔 grade 9 students pleasee

•

I really recommend learning a solid 5 quotes specific for each theme that could come up, and analysis for each of these quotes and then some general ones that you could embed.

•

I made plans for each potential question that could come up, and then key quotes I would use from the poems, and trying to use as few poems as I could, aim for 6-8 poems that you could apply to any question/ poem that comes up

•

And to practice for unseen, analyse song lyrics, makes it 100x more fun

•

Btw if you didn't know our questions were: Lady Macbeth as a powerful character, Mrs Birling, I think something to do with call for changes in AIC? (I literally did that question sorry!), and Kamikaze

•

In preparation for Q5 on paper 1, I would annotate and describe random images I could find, if the writing paragraphs is not an issue then just do bullet points/ mind maps as this can be more efficient

•

And just past papers tbh I did not focus on this subject for revision, which I do NOT recommend!

•

Just do past papers, all of them!

•

Then find where you get questions wrong (even if it is a stupid mistake on a first page 1 marker), and I liked to use mathsgenie to have several questions to answer on that topic, I bet you could also even use AI

•

I would even have a show playing in the background, as this really helped me focus on maths for longer periods of time as a maths hater (it does basically only work for maths from my experience as there aren't many words to get confused with while people are talking)

•

Thats pretty much what I did to get me from just scraping 8s to losing only 14 marks in the real exams

•

Past papers again, MEMORISE those mark schemes

•

freesciencelessons, cognito, would genuinely teach me more in 3 minutes than my teacher ever did

•

Also especially for physics, really try to visualise things, using your hands, pens, make a cup of water to visualise waves moving, really helped for physics paper 2 because my mind could not comprehend that stuff

•

You really only need to remember ~3 key points for each subtopic (such as propaganda), don't be the person who memorises the whole textbook, it is unnecessary

•

They mark positively! So if you are unsure of something, just write it down, chances are they won't see if it is wrong and mark it right, and worst case scenario you don't get a mark for your fake fact, they won't take away any marks for wrong info

Past papers

Make flashcards for speaking

Flashcards for vocab you keep forgetting
