Hi! I’m not sure if you’re busy and if you’re unable to then i completely understand, but you would you be able to make me predictions for this years papers using the predictions for last years papers and last year’s papers? (Maths and English specifically). Thank you so much for everything ! (Regardless of whether you’re able to or not xx)
@@prettygirl-L ay but predictions are kinda hard to make. its better if u do it by urself, as its a lot more effective in understanding the trends b/n the years.
@@prettygirl-Lit probably wont be possible because everyone does different exam boards so thats too much for one person to do, instead just look at past exam questions and look for what characters/ themes havent been asked
Can you show us how you structured out your time, and what subjects you did on each day. And how many hours you did. Im really scared i will forget everything if i leave it for later.
@@A.Daniel509 yee bet but my schedule started a week or so ago:-
Im taking igcse 9-1, 8 subjects
Chem:- April 05-08 (Past Papers: April 09)
Physics:- April 10-12 (Past Papers: April 13)
Bio:- (I've alr revised this subject so April 14, Past Papers: April 15)
Math:- April 15-17 (Past Papers: April 18)
History:- April 19-20 (Do past papers along with notes on April 20, as well as learn how to answer essay-types)
Geo:- April 21-24 (General Knowledge and key words up to April 22, April 23/24 are Past Papers Along with case studies)
Do past papers on your weakest subjects up to 2 days before the exams start, and then do more questions on the subjects which u take first, as you need to hit the ground running 👍
If it really is that stressful, I recommend getting familiar with caffeine and staying up before your exams start, and only revising parts you don't feel comfortable with a day before the exam. Make sure that you get ur spec, and avoid social media and games, as these next 1-2 months are the last haul before Summer.

Im kinda cooked cuz i havent rlly done past papers
my sister who got A*s told me to memorise the mark scheme
seems like i should've listened to her..
thank you for this video
how do you memorise the mark scheme like do you just look at every past paper's mark scheme and just memorise it? do you make flashcards on it to help you memorise?
@@pluvvioso basically when you do lots of past papers you will spot some questions that are always repeated: memorise the exact way to answer those. for questions you didn’t know how to answer: memorise the answers for those as well. the questions you knew how to answer: still look at the mark scheme to see what is the ideal way to write and the key words
@@pluvviofor the questions you didn’t know how to answer i would write down the answers for them on a separate sheet so before your exam you know exactly what you’re not confident with and u can go over that instead of going over things u already know
well im sure ur sister also started revision way before, than 2 weeks before igcse 💀💀

I wasted the last 2 years of my life by not paying attention in class, flopping my gcse mocks and literally binge watching Netflix series.
Just today, I realised i’m screwed. I started stressing like crazy watching ‘last minute’ videos for gcse - it didn’t help but it made my stress level worse seeing that there’s just so much to do is so little time.
I am so glad I came across this video. Giving me some hope to get from such little to at least all A’s. From this video, I’ve realised that GCSE is mostly memorisation and with the motivation I can achieve what I want. It’s not too late to start.
So to my future self, when opening those results on the 22nd of August, I hope you succeeded. Hard work will pay off.
u got this trust me lol
How do yk the result date?
I love the attitude! Rooting for you!! :)
Results day is always 22nd August :)

I have 10 days left in my exams and honestly idk what to do.. I've screwed up everything and I regret not studying before ( I did study tho but not as efficiently as I could have).. But even if I have very less time I'll try my best to improve my grades.. I'll revise the notes I've made and practice past papers.. And thank you so much for this video it actually motivated me to do something even tho I've less time cause for the past months I've been thinking I've no time and I can do nothing..
ops
Sameee😢😢
@xamatchyaax5106it's okay.. I know how you feel cause I'm pretty much feeling the same..I just want you to know that you can still do a lot.. Don't compare yourself with others and don't feel like you can't achieve the grades you want, cause I'm sure you can.. all you need is to work hard till your exams, practice lots of past paper questions.. ik you won't be able to get them right on your first attempts but trust me when you keep on practicing them you'll improve a lot.. So, girl, don't get discouraged, just keep on working hard even if you feel like you have very less time or you can't do it cause I know you're gonna ace your exams..
You're doing great and you're still keeping up with the amount of stress you have.. I'm here for you till you get your dream grades..
Love you💕💕

WDYM 2024 BOUNDARIES WILL BE HIGHER (im done for)
tbh it rlly depends on how hard or easy the paper is
it's bc the past few years were affected by covid a lot more than we were so to make it fair the grade boundaries for us would be higher 😭 (im assuming)
@@1ecstasyy thats accurate my teachers told me the same thing. it is bec the evidence most people did during covid made most students get inaccurately high marks with low effort. so theyre balancing the boundaries again. this sucks but oh well.
Hopefully you guy’s boundaries won’t be as high as 2023
Nahhh they can’t we were lockdown year 7s so they have to have mercy

IM SO STRESSED OUT OMG like they start in a week and I haven't been going to school since before christmas cuz of my mental health, and I was meant to be working from home all that time but I haven't done any since I dropped out cuz I was dealing with a lottt. I'm really struggling to bring myself to revise cuz it just doesn't feel worth it atp and there's so much content that every time I try to do any I get so overwhelmed😭But this video really helped to motivate me, especially since you missed a lot of school yourself - no other videos I've watched have taken that possibility into account. THANK U SO SO MUCH!!!
Good Luck with exams and what you are dealing with you can get through it
Keep going 👍
You can do it!! I believe in you! :)
Same thing, but with A levels and i got a 67% attendance for the first year due to illness. 3 weeks to go wish me luck 😂. Will be doing this thank you, but luckily only have 1 more subject I'm behind on so can focus everything on that. Will be finishing solo levelling and sweet home as a reward. It's AQA psychology.
Omg I’ve also missed out on school bcz of an illness but I’m in year 10 doing an English lit gcse !! Good luck
As level here toooooo
i love sweet home as well

Who's here after already starting their GCSEs??
lmfao me💀

i can get 7+ in pretty much all subjects without revision, purely coz i learnt that i was terrible at revision, never knew how to revise and could never concentrate enough. now i'm prepared to lock in to get the 9's i know i'm capable of, i just need a little push. gonna use this advice for pretty much all future revision, thanks leia.
My first exam is tomorrow 🥰🥰
It's 2 weeks till my GCSE and I am in a similar position you were in. This video has given me the inspo to push myslef even harder. Thank you so much I really needed that.
Good luck!
im in year 10 but ur a life saver. ive had enough of my teachers giving us lectures for being so dumb😭😭 hope i can come back here in a year and a half and say i got all 9s thanks to you!!
I wish I could go back to year 10 to study more 😅 good luck bro
Thank you youtube for showing me this 3 weeks late
watching this a day before my exam bye guys
This gave me so much more courage. I recently travelled from abroad and now living in the UK, and because of the college system, i was stuck in entry level english and maths for 3-4months and was just moved up to Higher maths and 9-1 English Language in December. Though im doing alright in english language, i have high ambitions for higher maths which i’m not even close to achieving and i already regret 2/3 months i had before to study in which i didn’t know. Now i have 1 month and almost 3years of content to learn and understand and be able to apply… it sucks and i can already feel the burn out (esp having worked so hard abroad learning a new language for top grades, only to move to england and be told they weren’t even GCSE equivalent) but i’m determined and willing to sacrifice anything that stops me. Thank you so much for this ! An absolute star xx
Despite being almost completely the opposite of the target audience this video was aimed towards, (someone that never has missed a day and studies for all my free time) this video was still very insightful for me.
Researching how mark schemes have been structured in the past and looking at previous full mark answers along with doing past papers is something I have in my own revision routine.
Quality content.
CHAT IM NOT COOKED AFTER ALL
This video honestly helped a lot with narrowing things down on what I should focus on for my exams next year. Thank you.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SO SO MUCH THANK YOU I REALLY NEEDED THIS I WAS STRESSING BC I STILL HAVE SO MUCH TO DO AND THER IS LESS THAN 4 WEEKS LEFT, THERE SOME PARTS OF HISTORY THAT I HAVENT EVEN TOUCHED BUT IM NOT GONNA ALLOW MYSELF TO BE OVERWHELEMED AND I WILL MAKE IT, IM COMING BACK HERE ON RESULTS DAY TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, STAY TUNED😭😭😭😭
I used to barely revise for any tests, scraping okay grades in my exam, wanting medicine as my future without putting any work in. For the last week, I just realised that I have to lock in for these exams and I have to revise with a clear plan ahead. I really appreciate the video for emphasising on factors that we should go over, thx for the tips.
Coming from an 18 year old doing my a levels, I got all 9s. GUYS IT LITERALLY DOESNT MATTER WHAT GRADE YOU GET JUST ENJOY YOUR CHILDHOOD
I already use most of these methods so when I heard you talking about them i felt SO RELEIVED.
I'm sorry, I had to type another comment. This is one of those videos that is accidently a video I would rewatch consistently for an entire century.
Thank you soooo much!!!! You’re a life saver, I wasn’t motivated to start studying and now I have 4 weeks left and I’m stressing so much. Your vid has motivated me to start studying. I’m so glad I came across this video.

best of luck to everyone who aint revised (were cooked).
thank you for the advice leia i was so stressed about them (i did my gcse's 5 years ago and im about to complete my degree in biomedicine)

By the way how did you organize your revision? Could you make like a video on how you organized your revision like what subjects you did on what day etc?
Thank you for the video
I was struggling so much before I came across this video 😭 but now I have my priorities straight thanks to you. You’re the only realistic person on TH-cam at this point. WE NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS 🫶🫶🫶
If you do Pearson Edexcel history (like me), learning how to structure your answer for each question type is really important! It helps a lot because even if you mind blank and can't remember specific facts, try to follow the formula and you should get at least some marks. I have structures for all question types for Medicine, Cold War, Richard and John, and Russia - if anyone is struggling with structuring their answers for any of these topics, I can let you know what formulas I use!
Good luck everyone - but I'm sure you don't need luck, because you're strong and you can work hard right now to get the grades you deserve! Plus, you're worth so much more than your grades :) don't stress too much xx
Can you please tell me the structure for the questions of russia and cold War if you don't mind :))
tyy
@@bubbxles1843 sure!
For Russia:
Q1 this basically structures the answer for you, all you have to do is fill in the lines!
Q2 - 12 marker "explain why" question. they will give u 2 bullet points in the question which u can use.
so do 3 paragraphs - one about the 1st bullet point, one about the 2nd, then one using your own knowledge. (there's nothing saying you MUST use the bullet points, but they're there to help, so I'd use them if I were you)
each paragraph should IDENTIFY a reason, then DEVELOP with your knowledge, then LINK back to the focus of the question. "one reason for this was..." then insert some facts, then "this led to / caused / meant that" (link it clearly back to the Q)
IDENTIFY, DEVELOP, LINK! don't overthink this question, just 3 short/medium paragraphs, each one explaining a reason
Q3 will ask you to look at two sources and state "how useful" they are. for this question I use JCOP:
J- Judgement. "source A is useful for the enquiry because it shows/suggests/implies..."
C- Content. directly quote the source - "the source says that..." make sure you quote something that is relevant to the point ur trying to make
O- Own knowledge. after quoting the source, say "this is accurate as I know that..." and insert some relevant facts that you know
P- Provenance. this is about how reliable or trustworthy the source is. "the provenance of the source makes it useful because..." for example if it was written by an eyewitness, that makes it more reliable
so in summary for Q3=two JCOP paragraphs, one for each source
Q3b is nice and easy. just state the main difference between the two interpretations - it will probably be made quite obvious for you. try to quote each interpretation briefly
Q3c - this says "suggest one reason the interpretations may differ" - for this one you ALWAYS want to say that they differ because they have used DIFFERENT SOURCES OF INFORMATION. this answer works for every possibility. each interpretation will correspond to one of the sources, either A or B. "the interpretations may differ because they have used different sources. interpretation 1 focuses on ... so may have relied on sources like source A, which says... however, interpretation 2, with its focus on ... may have used sources like source B"
I hope that made sense
Q3d is the 16 marker. DON'T OVERTHINK IT, just because its a longer question u don't need to panic! you can use your "main difference", that you wrote about in Q3b, as the basis of ur 1st paragraph
each paragraph should look something like this: Argument, Knowledge, Other argument, Judgement
step 1: think about what ARGUMENT is being made in the interpretation (always start with the interp they're actually asking u about!!) your first sentence could start something like "interpretation 1 argues that...", I would also include a quote here
step 2: back this up with your KNOWLEDGE. one, maybe two sentences of your knowledge that agree with the argument made in the interpretation
step 3: what does the OTHER interpretation argue? "however / on the other hand, interpretation 1/2 argues that..." this is literally just one sentence stating what the other interp says!
step 4: make a JUDGEMENT. "therefore, we may agree more/less strongly with interpretation 1/2, because.."
this seems like a lot when i type it all out but honestly it's not so bad. INTERP IN QUESTION, KNOWLEDGE, OTHER INTERP, JUDGEMENT. do 3 of these paragraphs - with a very short intro and / or conclusion if you have time - and you'll do fine.
when you're planning your points, look at both interpretations and highlight the key points they're making. try to find 3 and these can then form your 3 paragraphs
I hope this made sense, I can clarify if anything isn't very clear! and if u want me to write any example answers then I can
@@bubbxles1843
For cold war:
Q1 is "explain two consequences"
this is nice and simple, just two short paragraphs
start each one with a clear sentence about what the consequence is. then explain how the event in the question led to this consequence.
for example, I recently did a question "explain two consequences of the Cuban revolution". for my first paragraph I wrote that one consequence was that relations between Cuba and the USA worsened. i talked about how the USA had close ties with Cuba and many Americans owned land and businesses there, but when Castro took over, he nationalised business and industry, which took companies from Americans. this damaged the partnership between the USA and Cuba
also my top tip is that you can talk about increasing or decreasing tensions for pretty much every cold war Q1. consequence of Cuban revolution? increased tension. consequence of Berlin Wall being built? increased tension. consequence of Gorbachev's new thinking - decreased tension.
Q2 - honestly the idea of a narrative account is kind of a weird one, but its not too simple. make sure you've learnt the sequences of events for major crises. for the narrative account you'll want to structure your answer as a beginning, middle and end.
paragraph 1: how did the event start?
paragraph 2: what was the turning point / middle / major crisis of the event?
paragraph 3: what brought the event to an end?
the key thing for this question is to LINK YOUR PARAGRAPHS TOGETHER - by this i just mean phrases like "as a result" "this led to" "consequently" etc - it's important to show how one thing led to another
Q3 is nice because you get a choice. pick the 2 questions that you know the most about. this question is ALWAYS the importance of something on SUPERPOWER RELATIONS. they might rephrase it as "relations between the USA and USSR" or "the development of the cold war" but its always the same idea of relations between america and the ussr.
for each 8 marker here, make 2 or 3 points about how the event impacted relations
by the way for cold war I'd recommend really focusing your revision on consequences of events/crises, sequences of how one thing led to another, and how everything impacted relations. since these are the basis of the exam questions they're probably the best things to focus on in terms of revision
again, i hope i made sense and sorry my replies are so long!!! and again I can explain anything if needed or send model answers
omd tysmmmm ilyy
Way better than how my teacher explained itt
Tyyyy
Thank you sm🙏I’ve been needing to revise for the cold war topic in history for a while but havent gotten around it, also if its not too much of a bother, could you write up an exam answer for medicine?
Amazing vid
i couldnt focus cuz i was laughing the whole time. help guys im actually so screwed 😭😭😭
omd this made me have hope T-T i had medical problems this year i missed like half the year and I've never really had time to focus on school before because most of my time was spent on extracurricular activities i had to juggle tennis, volleyball violin, piano and my baking business at the same time let alone writing my next book to publish so even though i thought i could focus fully this year i guess fate had its own plans so now i have to cram again
Hey Leia :)
Thank you for the video!
I was wondering when you get the chance, can you do a video on performance strategies? How do you keep a clear mind and have a masterful performance?
Would love to! Stay tuned :)
I like you! And your videos!
GIRL IVE MET YOU OMG I DIDNT REALISE IT WAS YOU! YOU'RE AMAZING AT VIOLIN, I could truly see your passion!! My nana asked for a picture (im so sorry ik that must have been awkward)
Great video! Would really love if you could share the documents you made
I feel like this strategy works until you enter a subject which is not knowledge based but more skill based. At A level a lot of the subjects begin to develop skills as well as knowledge, for instance a subject like further maths will have a question on every topic and many questions will require problem solving skills as well as knowledge. Most importantly, don't just learn facts, in the long run it will lead to failure, as concepts should be understood rather than learnt otherwise the courses you took were pointless regardless of the grade; it doesn't matter whether you know and can describe young double slit experiment for instance if you can't understand why it happens.
My biggest concern is pressure, i know that all of the content is in my head and I'm lucky that I live in wales as all the exams are split through year 10 and 11 (i only have 5 writing this year and have already done 2 practical and 1 speaking) however in the moment i make a lot of silly little mistakes and talking allowed really helps me but obviously you can't talk in the exam and when i whisper I focus more on how i'm saying things rather then absorbing the information...anyway, off to make flashcards now and have a little cry xxxx

I have my O Level exams after exactly 9 days. I am really stuck on Physics, Biology and Add Maths, and am stressing A LOT. I was actually hopeless but this video came out to be quite useful ❤I am gonna share it my grades later on (hopefully)!!!!! Let’s hope for the best.
I wish I could go back in time. I received average grades in school, and now it's coming back to haunt me.
