    In this video, I go through some of the mistakes I personally made during GCSEs, particularly the first few. The reason I chose the first few weeks is that if you start bad habits early they're more likely to stick, so I showed you what I did wrong so you could know what to look out for.

    So great to see that you are still producing content for GCSE students! The advice here from a fellow student that that has managed to navigate the madness of the GCSE year with great success is invaluable to everyone sitting their exams this year or next.

    Please please and please go through past papers, homework, revision and all of that stuff. Revision does not mean staring blank at the paper etc. YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO REVISE!!!!! Efficient timetables help and please get extra support like interventions/tuition if possible for an extra boost. Depending on your exam board get revision books or make flash cards watch videos etc.

My worst grade is in English (a 6)and I’m getting more practice questions from my teacher to improve it. I’m hoping to do a level physics,maths and psychology . I really enjoy watching your videos and they definitely have helped to motivate me and improve my grades.

      This is making me less anxious since I always stress abt my grades tbh. I'm in year 10 and I'm taking my learning a lot more srsly than when I was in Yr 7,8, and 9. Everything is getting more difficult but because I actually try to revise and try to understand the work when I go back home, I end up knowing about the topics and all of that. I just hope I get at least some grade 7s and above. My predicted grade overall is actually a grade 6 which makes sense for me but yeah the key for me is to actually remember about the topics because I know almost everything in the test papers but my anxiety gets so bad I forget everything 💀

  • @HK-ol6pu

    My genuine advice from someone who got 6s and 7s in all subjects (not outstanding but pretty good imo), just enjoy yourself. If you start to feel any stress because you’re overworking yourself just stop because it’s not worth the stress when there is literally no difference between getting a 5 and a 9 in most cases.

    Hi Udoka, i just want to thank you for inspiring me to become productive again. after a period of long burnout and emotional exhaustion, i kinda gave up on investing energy into schoolwork, but then one your videos popped up into my recommended and now i’ve been motivated to organise my online notes and giving 100% again. this might sound really cringe, but keep creating these videos as well as looking after yourself ad im sure many people appreciate these. i’ve subscribed too!

    I’m going into year 11 this September and hope I revise and learn a lot this year, I don’t think I did too well in year 10 although I tried to listen in class this year I feel like I just don’t know how to revise properly because I always get distracted so easily i’m so scared

    I’m now in year 12 and my advise is that don’t EVeR EVER delay any of ur IGCSE subjects to October November
    Trust me U will loss all ur power and u will not be able to revise for any of the subjects
    I got A* in all the IGCSE subjects I took in MJ but now I’m procrastinating af and I have only 13 days now to my exam and I’m not ready at all ☹️

    hello udoka! lovely video. i’m in year 11 at the moment and i really need advice. like you mentioned there is an overwhelming amount of content. i did not do much revision in year 10 and now i am really scared for mocks and actual exams. how do i manage all these subjects? i’m an average student i don’t have motivation much of the time to revise i ALWAYS procrastinate which lowers my self esteem too. people around me are quite smart whereas i even struggle to do basic maths. please suggest something that could help. thank you💗

    • @itz_ary
      @itz_ary 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Okay so i'm not Udoka but let me suggest something and can you tell me if it works for you? So first off, ask yourself why you want to learn and pass GCSEs/IGCSEs. Write atleast 3-5 reasons. You can do more if you like. Paste these reasons somewhere you see everyday, it's something I feel really pushes up my motivation. For procrastination, i'd suggest getting a study buddy. Someone who will hold you accountable and can help you if you feel unsure about a topic(it's always better to ask teachers but sometimes classmates/friends just explain it better). Personally, studying in a public place like a library or at home somewhere around my parents usually lets me push myself the extra mile when studying because I don't want to be caught slacking. When it comes to maths, i'd say it's quite helpful when revising if you explain in words how and why certain questions are answered the way they are. Hope this helps!

      Hi X-ray hads, I am a year 12 student, and at GCSEs I got all 9s. In terms of advice, I would suggest that since you are already in year 11 and are unlikely to make very effective active recall questions/flash cards, considering you have mocks coming up, it would be seriously advisable to look into pre-made flash cards, I have heard the CGP ones are good. But please don’t be silly and start to just rely on the flash cards. First read the textbook, and understand each and every part of it, DO NOT TAKE ANY SHORT-CUTS! Then if you don’t understand even the smallest concept, write the query down and search online, post it on Quora, or ask your teachers. Once done, begin to go over your flash cards, I recommend an LCD display, it costs around £20, but on that you can scribble and erase very quickly, so begin to scribble out the answers to the flash cards onto it, and say the answers out loud, keep doing this till you are absolutely confident. If you have a topic that you are not completely confident with in terms of understanding, stand infront of a wall, and imagine that you are explaining the topic to a class, keep doing this till you are not completely confident with the topic. But please realise that understanding will not get you many high grades alone, you also need memorisation, since you need to remember key definitions and how to answer exam-questions, so also begin to look at exam papers, and it is not required for you to do them, but just begin to see how the markscheme answers the questions. Finally, please don’t worry you have this, and you can do it! Just remember when studying that after the next 2-4 years of studying your life in terms of academia will be much much better!

      i think for maths and english practice makes perfect because you can’t really be writing hella notes on it except for like context and analysing poems for english literature but i advise you watch like a maths genie video on a specific topic in maths, make a couple of notes of the example questions he does and do some yourself along with him, and then search up “(maths topic) practice questions maths genie” and do thoes and then mark them yourself and see where you went wrong.
