girl ily for this !! ive been so lost for literally months on how to make a timetable so im so thankful that u also linked it in the descirption because ive just been revising random topics that i choose lol. i've been doing exam questions but will also do whole past papers too starting tomorrow to practice timings. thank u !!
Planned revision sessions are the key to getting great grades! Glad this helped, good luck!
@@SmileWithSola It's my first time preparing my students for igcse exams in O level, which area should I focus on especially in maths,Physics and chemistry,,in maths there are two books that are confusing me,,Book 1and book 2

ARMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
first exam tomorrow n i just found you, this isn't fair 😭
My exams are in 1 month and 17 days
I’m using most of ur techniques but I think the most important thing I’ve take. From ur video that I am going to properly implement is exam technique and timetabling
i've been so stressed about my gcses, my parents have done so much for me i can't let them down. tysm for this video
Wishing everyone luck in the next month
This video is very useful - effective revision helped me raise a grade over time from a 4 to now being predicted an 8. Just to add another tip in-case it helps anyone, avoid reading too much regarding grades on forums. These forums are full of individuals who lie about their grades to make themselves look good, and make you feel inferior when you are achieving much less. If you do the math, only 3,000-6,000 individuals get a grade 9 in a year, so unless these forums are accessed by nearly all individuals with a grade 9, there must be some lies!
Good luck to anyone who's sitting their GCSE's this year, you've got this!
Tysm I was wondering why the entirety of the uk was getting all nines online that’s not to say that some ppl didn’t but Ik for a fact there’s liars among us😭😭
definitely needed this! 8 weeks to go and I’m getting wayyy to overwhelmed already 😭😭
You're so well articulated and this video was so helpful. I am an aspiring dental student and was wondering what a levels you took
Thank you so much, that's such a compliment! I took Bio, Chem and RS - kinda a weird combo but definitely enjoyable!
@@SmileWithSola That's so cool I'm thinking of doing Bio, Chem and Geography - something unconventional compared to the usual bio chem psych/maths
@@ruserious8278 Sounds good, defo make the last A Level something that you enjoy - no need to do another science / maths. Good luck!
I got 76 in my science December mocks and i got 87 in my combined science mock march. These tips truly do work as they are the ones i use. Active recall through flashcards and youtube videos then applying it to questions!
girl you are a god send. i have my GCSEs in less than a couple months and ive been feeling so lost. this really helped me organise
I have my first GCSE in less than a month and I haven’t been revising, lmfao. But this video actually helped cause I didn’t know how to effectively revise or use my time. Aiming for those 9’s 🥰
@STUDENT Amber Tarrant loool same man
@STUDENT Amber Tarrant i just want 7s
Basically everything I've been doing for the past year! This technique is extremely useful. :)
You are simply the best! i like how you give resources and EXPLAIN what to DO with them 😭 no one on youtube does this. Thank you sm ❤
I've got my exams in may/june and I haven't started revising yet but you're motivating me so much so time to changeeee
Good luck with the revision! Hope its going well 🤞🏼📊
I just started year 11 and your videos are helping me sm
Probably the best advice video for GCSEs. Straight down to the point. I'm gonna try all these things.
I'm in year 9 at the moment and just picked my options. This video has been great for preparing me for GCSE's and getting me into a good routine!
I just went straight on with English and answered annoyingly difficult questions and asked my English teacher if she could mark them, bonus, she ended up giving me full-fledged feedback on it, as well as getting the head of English to also mark it.
omg thank you so much for this! I have really struggled with motivation and focus for the last few months but this has really helped as its clear how to start and how to structure it. you're incredible tysm! also can i just say youre STUNNING!
i can’t thank u enough for this i’m so motivated to do well now and i know what to do!!
yess!! love to hear that
I've go mocks in a month and propper stressing and ur actually a life saver x
How did your GCSEs go lol 😂😂😂
This is really helpful! Although I’ve still got a few years until the GCSEs, this helped me realize what I’m up against and I can maybe practice these methods in my exams :) Thanks!
I’m Currently in year 11 and going to start using this technique to see if it works for me :)
I’ll update each set of test results
Latest Yr10 don’t have mocks back yet 😑:
English lit:8
English lang:8
Maths:4(worst subject)
Biology:6
Chemistry:4
Physics:6
Art:8
Geography:7
Psychology:7
Spanish:8
is English lit easy?
@@mariamytstbnot rlly
how do you revise spanish? i do french but i never get above a grade 7
Everything is very good except maths
You are absolutely gorgeous. Oh my god 🫠 ur skin is GLOWING ‼️
Thank you sm!! ☺️❤️❤️
I found this super helpful because i just finished my last mock series. I know now what to do because teachers don’t tell you how to revise better than another student!
really came for me with that revising cell activity
Honestly such a big help. My grades are making me so insecure in my abilities but ik revision will help a bunch and now ik where to start
I’m in year eleven and my GCSES are in exactly two months, I’m so scared cos two months flies by. Is there enough time?
Yes
There’s definitely enough time if you start consistently from now on. It’s going to be a lot of work but if you spread your revision out and make it a habit then you can definitely do it. GCSEs is all about prioritising and exam questions and if you do them constantly for the next 2 months there is no doubt that you’ll see an improvement!
for chemistry i find moles and the calculations the hardest as the calculations can be so random and moles are very confusing, do u have any tips for me. Btw i do higher tier so the moles are more advanced!
I used to struggle with quantitive chemistry as well until I understood that it’s basically the same question over and over again rephrased. Keep doing exam questions on it and go through it with your teacher until you understand. Also watch TH-cam videos where people go through mole calculations. Essentially it’s about practice so that you are prepared for any kind of question!
@@SmileWithSola thank u sm for the advice
@@iu5596 no problem, hope you see an improvement!! x
i would highly reccomend freesciencelessons :) he explains it in a much easier way thats very easy to understand
@@floa75 I swear that mans a vampire
This was a great help. Im only in year 10 and just did my mocks and didnt get the grades i was hoping for. At least now i know what do when the exam season is coming up weather its in year 10 or year 11. Thank you.
In year 10 but preparing early as I literally am so behind in school. Thank you so so much for this, literally helped me sm !
I'm in yr 7 we just had exams and I'm STILL prepping
@@ummchileanywaysso7609 y7? dont get overworked, live your life. from a y10
@@boop3519 I go to a VERY strict school in London, and we start exams in yr 7 and the pressure is always so high, the teachers make us suffer with like a million assignments every week and I have even more assignments cause it's half term(Ramadan/Easter) and I've barely completed a 1/4 of it lmao.
@@ummchileanywaysso7609 try not to overwork yourself, i dont think schools should be doing that in y7, try to relax because 7-9 are your prime years of relaxation then you have to revise like everyday
@@ummchileanywaysso7609 whilst it’s good that ur thinking abt exams, don’t worry in year 7 to year 9. year 10 & 11 is where you actually have to start becoming serious about work. don’t stress too much or overwork yourself honest. try your best but don’t stress. & this is coming from a year 11 !!
hi! Im in year 10 right now, and a lot of people said that it’s better to revise during the summer before year 11. Do you think it’s actually necessary to do that or is it okay if i do nothing at all over the summer?
I wouldn't necessarily say you should spend every waking moment revising in your summer but maybe make sure all of your flashcards are up to date and you can maybe get ahead in the sciences / do a few exam questions here and there but honestly make the most of your holiday and enjoy yourself because year 11 is a stressful year! You can definitely get a good grade without revising in the summer.
@@SmileWithSola tysm
With this~ the only thing i would start focusing on is memrising quotes or key vocab ( especially if you do a language!) :)) I wouldn’t stress so much! Take breaks and focus on your mental and physical health in between the productivity! ❤️
Just make like a set of notes a week or suttin cah then it will be so much easier in year 11 I barely done anything in yr 10 and I’m not getting the best of results rn 😂😂😂
pls dooo, im in y11 and did nothing and i regret not doing anything, literally don't do that much like go over all the content you did in y10 make sure you know everything and that there's no gaps in your knowledge. For me rn i have i have gaps in my knowledge from yr9 and 10 and i regret it
you don’t understand how much you just reassured me Ty girl xxx
Tysm!! I have my exams next year and I'm already stressing. This is super helpful!
Thanks soo much.
I hope I get the grades I want this May!
thank youuuu
we love to see it 💓
I find Biology and English the most difficult, English because there is so much writing and the exam is different than practice exams in lesson, so we only learn the skills. Biology is tricky because it’s different than Physics and Chemistry, but I can revise the weaker topics
HELP I HAVE THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE PROBLEM
I found chemistry and English hard
This is so much help, I’ve not had a clue where to start before. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your tips, my GCSEs were 5 months away and I reckon I should need to at least get grade 7 or even a 9 for an A in my subjects, so I can apply queen Mary university.I’m being very consistent on
my mocks lasting 2 weeks,so hopefully I should do well in my GCSEs.
Wish me luck
i wanna cry out of happiness , this channel is sooooooooooooooooo gooooooooood
I tried this for around 2 weeks and this is super effective
My Gcses are next month and I haven’t revised once, I really hope this helps me
Thankyou for this I have been failing badly recently and I rlly needed this 😩
I’m so scared for GCSEs it doesn’t feel like real like thinking that some day in July or august I’m going to go to school and be given a sheet with all my results on is terrifying.
I’m mostly rlly happy with my mocks (besides chemistry) so if I got a score like them I’d be rlly happy but I get this feeling that I just won’t do as well cos I can’t imagine getting those grades
i have exams in like 4 school weeks and this literally is saving my life rn
THANKSSSS im gonna try this and then come back
goodluck to you guyss
Hey Queen, thank you from the bottom of my heart❤️😊 i honestly believe you deserve more followers ‼️‼️
im soo glad i have like this vid and subbed with notfications for more of this great content !! this will help me get through the next 4 years in secondary school :)
I’m so beyond stressed for my exams as I’ve not been motivated enough to start revising yet but hopefully this helps thank you :)
same. i am kinda fucked
@@to_discover_life all good cause same
@@liliacassam5341 Right listen lilia. The thing that motivated me to start doing 8 hour plus study days from a week ago is fear. If you fuck this up or me our futures are not going to look to good. One and a bit months of pain for a great summer and life of gain
@@to_discover_life what were your results?
I’m in yr 9 but still watching this bc I’m so scared for my GCSEs bc I’m so bad at maths and science and I don’t wanna fail 😭 Great vid btw! x
I got mine in 5 weeks
@@okipullup5792 Oh good luck x
I’m in Year 9 too and I suck at the sciences and the sa on english
Relax, GCSEs are some time away for you guys lol
i'm in year 11 and one thing i wish i'd done from the start of year 10 is to just make a flashcard of some key things i learnt in that lesson, or if i didnt understand something i'd have gone over it in hegartymaths or seneca learning, or whatever sites you use :)
Thank you sooo much this was really helpful!! My igcses r next year and mocks in December and this rlly helped I’m tryna get 4-7 now and next 7-9

Thxs!! I'm in year 9 and I'm going to choose my GCSE subjects this week so this can really help and give a little heads up
How did ur GCSEs go
@ihxnf I actually wasn't as stressed as I should be (in fact I don't think anyone was stressed in my year), I am yet to get my results, but I'm feeling OK and hopeful that I don't fail any subjects (or at least the core subjects) 😅
I literally have less than a year till my real GCSES so this rlly helped! THANK YOU
I still didn't get the effective cramming one. Please can you do a separate video on it explaining it in more detail!

Thank you so much, this helped a lot.
THABK YOU SOOO MUCH !!!! this is soo help use full ! now i have my priorities right! im always using this now ! :)
:))
All these tips are so helpful thanks so much, 🙏🏾 I will try my best not to procrastinate and get work done this is my day 1 of trying to achieve higher grades than my mocks. I got grade 6s and 5s across my performance grades but I will achieve higher so I’m aiming for 7s and 8s for my next mocks which will be soon. I will come back to update you on what I got and if I improved. 😊😖👍🏾 btw I chose Business, Triple Science and Citizenship (and doing higher tier for both maths and science)
what did u get for ur GCSEs x
thank youu , i have my mocks coming up in jan and will update ;)

i just found your channel and this video is so straightforward and useful! keep it up
Glad it helped, good luck!!
I appreciate what you've done. Please keep going!
Girlll I hate history too! 😂 give me a high five
And I noted down all the points. Going to start working today. Thank you. Do you think I have enough time to get all 9s? I’m literally so scared and stressed
same lmao i've just about passed all my subjects
I think you really have to put in the work from now on to get all grade 9s but its definitely possible. It will be a hard few months but you will get through it. Be sure not to push yourself beyond your limits. Prioritise those subjects you find the hardest and do exam questions every single day. You've got this!!
Yeah, last week I got a 3 in English lit the next week got a 6 in all. only took me one week to get to a 6. But I guess it depends on how much effort u put altho I have no idea how I improved so much when I didn’t revise😂 doing another a next week, Ill update u what I got

How to get grade 9 in gcse exams:
Stage 1: establish priorities
- for each subject note down the topics in the order of how hard you find them to be
- use mocks to identify weaknesses
Stage 2: time tabling and scheduling
- Work on your weakest subject the most often with maximum 3-4 hour study sessions daily
Stage 3: effective cramming
- for maths practice as much as you can and do as many past paper questions as you can.
- for science based subjects focus on what topics you don't know. Don't waste time on stuff that you already know! Do exam questions consistently
- for essay based subjects focus on how to actually answer the question (format) and know the content throughly. Practice writing essays under Timed conditions and have your teacher mark it. Use blurting and mind maps.
Stage 4: exam questions
- focus on why you got something wrong
- ask for help
