The GREAT GCSE Lock-in!!

Eng lit - I did aqa (R&J, Jane Eyre, AIC and power&conflict poetry). I’d say only learn quotes you can analyse (and maybe try pre-learn some analysis with them). I think I had about 85 for R&J - I know that sounds like a lot but there’s more characters, 50 for Jane Eyre and then 50 for AIC? For poetry I studied 5 poems really well so I could compare them to anything
Pre-learning analysis is what really helped me with English lit as I could never come up with anything interesting on the spot, you can even ask ChatGPT for ideas!
Spanish - I took French & Latin so not quite the same but probably similar. I’d really recommend working on speaking - write astounding answers for all the questions you’re given BEFORE MARCH or you won’t have time to learn them. please trust me on that I was still writing them Easter half term and it was really stressful 😥 you can also reuse bits of work for your writing, and it’s great if you do well on speaking because then you have less to worry about for the other papers
For reading and listening, I’d say just do as much practice as possible, it gets easier
Hope this helps!

Hi! I take all the same subjects except I do Econ instead of Drama. I am predicted all 9s but need to stop procrastinating. This sounds like a great idea for motivation

nice! I wish you well for mocks! What's your big tip of revising geography!

Btw I do Edexcel IGCSE Geography so it'll be different but the advice still stands. Honestly, my problem with geo is usually only that I don't have enough time to properly do the 8 markers since they expect us to write a lot, especially compared to what's needed for a 4 marker. The Geography department is easily the best one at my school though and they always give us a bunch of resources in terms of PPQs compiled for each topic. I usually do flashcards for definitions and processes (like coastal ones) and for human geo, I don't really revise (I know that sounds bad) because the content I do in econ is nearly the same so I don't feel the need to go over much except practicing PPQs. Also, for my curriculum at least, case studies aren't that big of a deal and I've never had to memorise more than 5 stats in total.

omg this is basically how i revise for geography as well ! i need to improve my knowledge on the physical bits like coastal processes tho ☹️

stop coastal processes and the rivers topic is my downfall 💔💔
