craig n dave is really good as someone else suggested! tbh for compsci u dont need a good teacher coz only u can really teach urself whats on the markscheme. cambridge is really annoying about marking so your best bet is to go through markschemes for basically every past paper and create flashcards / notes based on those and memorise those. i was in the same position last year and realised most of what my teachers will have taught me is virtually useless for the exams unfortunately

hi, i basically did the same as you except coastlines instead of rivers and for notes i mostly used the textbook along with quizlet flashcard sets people had already made. my teachers slides werent great tbh but use the spec to figure out exactly what u need to know, especially for case studies. i know some people also bought revision notes books but thats not necessary at all

How did u get 9 in sciences (bio and chem specifically) I keep getting 6s -7s and it like I can’t get higher and I know it’s a bit too late for me to be making my flash cards so do you have any tips or website anything that can help as I find comprehending the content hard and tend to forget quite easily. I want 9s really bad.

for learning content the cognito lessons with the videos and questions after are really good, and the videos break it down quite well

content-wise i made flashcards for processes and case studies based on the textbook and exam paper markschemes (do this for 4 markers), but tbh geography is just doing past papers and making sure u know ur case studies really well. also 8 markers are litearlly the most important thing on the paper and they need a lot of practice. do tonssss of questions and give ur teacher 8 and ESPECIALLY 12 markers to mark. i hated 12 markers so bad lol

im so sorry ive only just seen this!! i revised for the conversation part by playing voice memos of myself reading out my answers over and over again lol, and also remember to try and ask questions during the examiner! it can just be simple things like and what about you? or whatever. try to also include different sentence structures. if arbaic isnt ur first language the only way u can really improve ohotocard or roleplay is practicing w ur teacher or some arabic speaker

hey, tysm!! tbh the econ content isnt at all hard to self study and theres not a lot of content, whats difficult is writing the essays (6 9 12 markers). id recommend watching videos and making a bank of notes for the content, i never used any youtubers bc my teacher was a godsend but you could defo find people who have entire playlists for the course. i also have a friend who made notes for the entire course on google docs so if u want i can ask him for that too
after initially learning the content, write up as many papers and essays as u can and send them to ur schools econ teacher to mark if ur school offers the subject. if not, u could just ask anyone whos done econ to give u feedback, and if u dont know anyone id honestly be happy to help u out as well as i currently tutor a y11 for gcse econ anyway! lmk if theres anything else :smile:

hi do you mind if you could send me your friends notes? i have my eco exam coming up and i struggle with remembering content
