For maths do as many past papers as possible and mark your answer using the mark scheme, at least one or two papers a week.

Lit is just technique, practise, and knowing the text: know the markscheme and your texts inside out as practise at least one essay a week and ask a teacher for feedback

Yes, it's definitely possible to get all 9s and 8s. My yr 11 and yr10 mocks were 988877765 or something like that which is similar to yours, and in my final GCSEs I got 999988888. When did you start revising? This is a big factor too.

The photocard I had and the roleplays I've heard about have been pretty good! My photocard was four kids in a museum on their phones, my roleplay was as a hotel guest and I've heard about a gardening photocard and another with kids eating lunch together, mine went super well good luck for yours!!

Do you not do science? (I can also probably help with maths, but I do OCR. The great part of maths is it's all the same tho!)

Hey hey! Honestly, it's all about consistent practice. I smashed through loads of past papers and got that muscle memory locked in it took me from a grade 4 to a 7 in just a few weeks. I'm in Year 13 doing A Level Maths now and still stick to that same method: practice, practice, practice.
My younger sister (she’s in Year 11) did some online Easter revision sessions with neildoesmaths and found them super helpful not sure if you’ve come across him. He’s actually running a free revision cram course now too I’m thinking of joining for A Levels! Check it out here.

My prompts for the roleplay were like
A problem (with my room)
Opinion on the hotel
The surprise question was what did I do yesterday
Then I had to ask about discounts and taxis

My photocard prompts were
To describe the photo
Something interesting I've learnt recently
My opinion on school trips
The last school trip I went on
And then like an overall opinion on foreign schools

For the discounts one I asked ¿Hay algunos descuentos que puedo tener?

For the taxi one I literally just asked ¿Donde esta los taxis?

The foreign school one was just ¿Que piensas de..

I wrote bullet points because it depends how harsh your teacher is but you could potentially get your notes sheet taken if they can see any full sentences on it, sorry I don't really know that much about the other cards because most of the people in my yeargroup who have spoken have gotten the same thing because they chose module 7 or 8, do you know where you've lost marks previously?

ok - did u find it hard and do u know anyone who chose module 6

Reply 19

Sorry I didn't think I do know anyone who chose module 6 but I'd say that I found this speaking much easier than the others, if you have a good teacher then it's likely that they'll understand how stressful this exam is and they'll help you as much as they can.

I also felt much more at ease because I learnt quite a few idioms and safety net phrases that can be used in any module
