Heyy I didn't have any days off, but if you wanted a day off that's perfectly fine you would just have to adapt your revision timetable for the other days of the week accordingly, it's all down to personal preference

@MalohaCartonOfMilk alright thank you so much because i was thinking of taking Fridays off but i kinda like revising everyday even if it is an hour ( i do 2-3 on the weekdays, 4-5 on the weekends ) but i always see people saying that they had days off because they didn't want to "burn out"

I only had one coursework subject, but I did find it quite overwhelming at times so my best piece of advice is to organise your coursework as much as you can, set deadlines for yourself ahead of official deadlines, and do lots of research beyond the lessons such as watching documentaries and the like

Salam, search up each poem individually and do as much research as you can on context, analysis, annotations etc. Make quote cards for each one to learn key quotes for the exams <3

Break it up as much as you can, everyone has differing attention spans its completely normal, so even if you do it like a 10 minute study session, and then a 5 minute break, then go for another 10 minutes that's still something. Try and incorporate 'fun revision' if you can such as watching French Tv shows for MFL or watching documentaries for History (but don't go overboard with this and make sure its actually helping you)

Np :)

Your welcome :)

At this stage, i'd recommend 3-4 but obviously with regular breaks in between

Yeh it is a bit fast tbf i'll slow it down for next time x

@@MalohaCartonOfMilk thankyouuu xx

It's all down to personal preference, doing past papers is still technically a form of active recall so you could say just as effective as flashcards and the like, as long as you do them consistently

@ okay thank you! my teacher put up losds of practice questions so i just do them as often as i can and they feel helpful, i just felt like it wasn’t the right thing cuz everyone makes flashcards 😅

I'll see if i can make a video on it soon

YAYY thank you! 💞

Loll

Around this time I think it was around 3, this gradually increased to around 5 - 6 when I went on study leave (obvs with regular breaks in between)

Hii, I'm actually uploading a video in it today :)

Don't ask i recorded that video a while back and I was clearly on something that day 😭

Mindmaps are fine its still active recall, and with regards to flashcards I've made a video on it previously th-cam.com/video/8IKOZVmlM08/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kxd5OoiiYKsAl5DF

As March is quite far away, you can slowly work your way through Higher content now (if you're worried about the jump in difficulty), but I think that if you'd say you're ready and you're able to bridge the content gap then 100% go for it

Good luck!! Don't worry I used to run out of time in my papers as well it just takes practice

Same, I just got my English mock results back today and they were NOT what I expected, I dont know how im predicted an 8/8 guys 😭😭

1) learn all the structures for the questions inside out 2) practice a past paper exam question every single day under timed conditions and ask your teacher to mark and give you feedback

Will do!

I always like to make my own because that way they are tailored to ME and what I know I need to know and work on. You can use pre-made ones if you feel like you don't have time to make your own, but just be mindful of these three things: 1. They're up to date 2. They're accurate 3. They're for your exam board

Salam, I'm on a gap year atm and I'll be studying medicine undergrad from this September onwards iA :)

The thing is when you burn yourself out, the time that you DO spend revising isn't going to be good quality. The stress hormones are also going to inhibit your cognitive functioning, which usually means poorer academic performance. This is why I always stress make a revision routine for yourself - there are 24 hours in each day, that's a lot of time! If you're strict with yourself, you can allocate at least 3 - 4 hours of your day for revision and still have loads of time for other stuff like living your life! On weekends, towards exam season I was studying for around 5-6 hours, but still had time to watch TV, spend time with friends and family, and do stuff that I wanted to do, because my dad was strict with me and made me compartmentalise my time

You shouldn't prioritise stuff based on grades, you prioritise based on your weaknesses. There wouldn't be any point in focusing on 7-9 topics if you're still struggling with lower grade topics, that's like putting icing and sprinkles on raw cake batter ygm

thats lit

I mean that rly does depend on the question style if i remember correctly. You will find that within your anthology most of the poems are linked in some way anyway because they all fall under an umbrella theme (power and conflict, love and relationships etc.) I wouldn't say you need to pair them but you can if you want to, just have a really solid understanding of each poem and comparison should come naturally (i highly recommend Mr Bruff and Mr Salles on YT)

@mistedisbetter ik

Do past papers best way to revise ive got 2 9's in a row in my mocks

1) Make sure you know ALL the content, start with your weakest topics when revising 2) know the equations like the back of your hand 3) make flashcards and practice them for 5-10 minutes a day 4) lots of past papers

I did triple science :)

For english literature the general structure that I used was really just PEEL (point, evidence, explain, link) and you wanna make sure that your 'explain' is bulky and filled with lots of ideas that link together and back to the question itself. In terms of quotes, make sure you're choosing ones you actually understand how to use so I wouldn't recommend using someone else's. You can make quote cards, where you choose 1-2 quotes from the play for each character and each key theme (there may be crossover), and you could ask your teacher or one of your friends or peers to help you with this

@@MalohaCartonOfMilk thank you soo much x

You should make sure you learn it all first, but I'd recommend learning a topic and then doing a past paper exam question specific to that topic, I believe you can find those on BBC Bitesize?

The best thing to do is practice a past paper question every single day and ask your teacher to mark it and give you feedback -build on the feedback each time. Also immerse yourself in analyses and context of the texts, i'd highly recommend Mr Bruff and Mr Salles YT channels

If it's a non-essay based paper like science or maths, mark it and make sure you understand it all. Anything you don't get even after reading the mark scheme and watching video solutions, make a note of it and ask your teacher to go through it with you after class. If there's any topics you've noticed you've consistently been scoring low on, make a note to go over those topics again. With essay-based subjects like English and History, marking is highly subjective so it's best to ask your teachers if they can mark them for you and give you feedback

If note-taking helps you then go for it, but I made flashcards watching videos as if the flashcards were my notes - basically I did make notes but on my flashcard app instead of my notebook, that way I had a revision resource ready automatically so I wouldn't have to go back over the same topic all over again

there are so many other ways.. e.g flashcards , mindmaps , sticking postick note aroudn your house with questions , blurting past papers

If you feel making notes truly does help you then go for it, it's your revision at the end of the day. I would just recommend also pairing it up with active forms of revision such as flashcards, blurting etc.

Hii, yes its definitely possible if you revise regularly from now onwards every day. I'd highly recommend CorbettMaths and Physics and Maths Tutor

I would definitely recommend going on math genie and going through each topic , they are grouped into grade 1-9 , start from 1 and work your way while watching the videos and the questions .

Salam, I have a video on English already, th-cam.com/video/ZIZtYD2ajeo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sw3OPmiV1IlKAhTu but I can probably do a question 5 video soon

@@MalohaCartonOfMilk okay thanks ☺️

Hii, if you're making flashcards as you revise and then practicing them all for at least 10-20 minutes every single day, I guarantee you won't forget everything

@ tysm I will definitely try that out!

The type of revision resource you're using and the type of revision technique may affect how long you're taking to revise. One of my tutees takes ages to make flashcards so we've decided it'd be better if she did blurting instead. She also used BBC Bitesize which took ages for her to get through, so now she uses freesciencelessons (which I'd recommend for you too as they're really short and concise). Just mix and match different resources and techniques until you find ones that maximise your revision time

I had the same problem, I did my revision from the textbook and in class and I made my flashcards from revision guides as they were a lot more concise. You need to make sure you're doing loads of past papers as well under timed conditions, and also watch lots of documentaries to fully immerse yourself in the context

@@MalohaCartonOfMilk Which revision guide did you use?

@poppy435 the Pearson revision guides are really good

I took them in 2022 :) What topics did you have in mind?

@@MalohaCartonOfMilk Like; Electromagnetism, Space, Organic Chem those types. Ur soo underated :(

Would you also recommend, Writing down answers for 4,5 & 6 markers? and making like a book out of if. esp. for sci. My sister recommended it (But she didn't get all 9s 🥲) Thanks

2-3, with breaks

If your notes are comprehensive enough then you can read them and go straight to past papers, otherwise you may need to: 1) Go over each topic again 2) Take a 5-10 minute break 3) Come back and blurt everything you can remember 4) get a different coloured pen and fill in anything you missed out 5) finish with past paper practice

@MalohaCartonOfMilk Thank you so much! I will definitely try this.

Yes that should definitely be enough, and you can reuse them if you haven't done a particular paper in a while

I'd definitely recommend doing the paper first as it forces you to remember things (active recall), and then you can use a different coloured pen and go back over it at the end using the mark scheme, helping to identify gaps

@@MalohaCartonOfMilk Thank You!
