real! started like 2 weeks ago
1 month left guys, we can do it!
your deffo urhobo 🤣🤣
im cooked bro i started revising yesterday
@@3aloosh623 honestly I know some people who haven't started yet. don't stress about it. plus, what matters now is how determined you are. dedicate what remaining time you have, and you'll do fine
don't forget you will have plenty of time on study leave!
@@3aloosh623 my ass started revising in year 10 and still have a 3 in English mate I'm fucked 💀
lmaooo bro i also got a 3 in english and i didnt even revise
we're both cooked @@spytf2693
Got 9s 8s and 7s in the mocks, dreading I can’t replicate it
Same here mate, I don't know what the hell to do
@@lewis7278 I’m just tryna keep revising the same as I did before but it’s difficult, I sort of have a study addiction of doing like 6-7 hours a day on weekends and I don’t really have an off switch 😂😭. Good luck tho man, what u taking?

@lightningd-pad Youve been revising heavily? 😭😭 i still havent started
@@lightningd-pad I'm taking Geography, Spanish, Computer Science and BTEC Sport, you?
honestly , everyone has their own plan of revising. Each of our brains and mind set work completetly different
This is so helpful for me. I’m in year 9, about to start the GCSE course and this is definitely what I needed to hear. My school’s revision advice is make flash cards and buy their overpriced textbooks. Now I don’t feel overwhelming dread every time I think about the next two years of my life.
In the exact same boat as you and I feel these secondary school years have flown by almost in year 10 and damn that shit hits real hard rn starting all the hardcore stuff
Good luck 😂 😢
Good thing you're starting earlier than I am. For some reason, in the whole of Yr 9 I didn't compute that the GCSE course was basically starting so I still kept my 0 studying habits that I had all the way from Yr 7-8, and it's affecting me now in Yr 10. Hope you do well in revision, future mocks and your GCSE. :)
got my first next week friday. triple biology. ive revised fuck all
@@rhombus2490 freaking hell must be shit. I’d try cramming liads of shit in. I’ve just finished topic two (b2 biology) we learned abt the blood the heart the systems enzymes blood vessels n all that shit.
Actually so glad I've found this in year 10. Definitely gonna start doing past papers, it sounds like an actually fun way of revising.
yeah they work really well i’m in y11 with like 2-3 weeks left until my exams and like a month ago i was getting like terrible marks im getting good grades now
if you don't wanna cram it all 1 month before the exams I'd say take like 30 mins every other day making flashcards on topics you're doing/have done. use those flashcards to do past papers in like January and then keep doing it with your notes until you don't need them anymore.
same but ive got mocks in a few weeks 😅
past papers are literally THE number one way to revise. they're the most effective for sure. do lots of them and mark them and it will really give you a massive headstart especially as you're only in year 10
also over the summer I'd recommend revising everything you've learned in year 10. it sounds like lots of work but it's really helped, i'm now in year 11 and my gcse revision is much easier because i'm recapping stuff that i've already gone over a couple of times which makes it easier to remember!
@@pigeon_371 i got mocks in a few weeks, im year 10 and im doing past papers and just marking them, did u also use past papers in your mock exams or did you do other revision techniques?
Goodluck 2024s😭🤝
Edit: whos waiting for the 2024 slanders w me🫡
thx :’))
You too!
i am cooked
Good luck everyone!! :) let's do our best

Good luck!!
Can definitely back everything you said here Dennis and everyone watching, i got all 8s and 9s in all my core subjects and things like taking notes from mark schemes and questions are the small things and more efficient methods that set you apart. Also do good in your GCSE's just to prove to yourself and others that you can dedicate and discipline yourself to something even at 15-16 years old.
Great video, especially with the distractions all around us making it harder and harder to focus. It's useful that you talked about ways around that.
Thank you, this is actually really reassuring!
This will be really important for me next year. Thank you so much Dennis
Next friday is our first exam guys. Biology, I wish you all the best of luck 🍀🍀. You've got this!!!

i absolutely love you
love how we have the equations sheet this year for physics!!
Step 1: cheat.
Based bro!
Heres an easy cheat for English GCSEs
For anybody who uses a computer during gcse: you can highlight a word on the word processor and look at synonymns for it to see if youre spelling it correctly. It can also give you a wider vocabulary to use.

@@Shakespeareslittlepoet Translate to english says Do It for some reason lol
For English, go to questions that need quotes, work out wich ones are relevant and write them dow.
Thank you ❤️
If anyone needs help with the "how useful are the sources" 8 marker for medicine through time, this is how I answer them
I write two "JCOP" paragraphs, one about each source. Each paragraph looks like this:
1. JUDGEMENT - "source A is useful for... because..."
2. CONTENT - detail from the source - "the source states that / the source explains that / the source describes how..."
3. your OWN KNOWLEDGE to back up the source - "this is accurate as I know that..."
4. PROVENANCE - this is how reliable the source is. "the provenance of the source makes it useful because it was written by a soldier on the western front from his personal experiences / the provenance of the source makes it useful because it was published in a medical journal" something like this
overall this takes 4, maybe 5 sentences. You don't need a ton of stuff for this question. Just stick to the structure. Judgement, Content from source, Own knowledge, Provenance
history questions are mostly about following structures. if you learn the key facts and information, and learn the structure of each exam question, you'll be fine
Have you got structure for the 12 and 16 markers?
@@kaidoa1539
12 marker:
3 paragraphs, no intro or conclusion needed
each paragraph should give one reason for the thing stated in the question. for example, if the question was "explain why there were improvements in medical knowledge in the years 1500-1700", your first paragraph could be about Thomas Sydenham or the printing press, for example.
for each paragraph I would structure it like this. clear opening sentence - "one reason for... was..."
then just add to this - include any relevant knowledge you have about this point, and link it back to the question at the end.
eg if I use the earlier example, and I was writing about the printing press, I'd say something like "one reason for improvements in medical knowledge in the years 1500-1700 was the more widespread use of the printing press." then I'd talk about how the printing press allowed information to spread more easily and scientists could build on each others' theories. then I'd finish with a sentence that links my point back to the question - eg "since the printing press allowed scientists to share their findings and disprove old theories, medical knowledge improved greatly in this period."
so clear opening sentence, then include any relevant knowledge, then link back to question. each paragraph does NOT have to be super long.
write 3 of these paragraphs and that's all you need. remember the question will give you two bullet points, I'd recommend using these as the basis of your first 2 paragraphs - you don't HAVE to use the bullet points but they're available to help you.
16 marker:
this will normally be phrased something like "... was the most important reason for... in the years..." and will then ask how far you agree
eg "the role of the church was the most important reason why there was little change in care and treatment 1250-1500. how far do you agree?"
for a 16 marker you need 3 paragraphs again, but if you have time it can also be a good idea to include an intro and conclusion, as it makes your argument seem more well rounded and thought out. each paragraph follows a similar structure to the 12 marker.
it makes sense to start with the thing in the question, so for this example, something to do with the Church. I'd probably go with the fact that the church controlled medical training.
make an opening sentence, include relevant knowledge, link back to question - the same as in the 12 marker.
but for the 16 marker, make sure the final sentence of each paragraph makes a JUDGEMENT. "I can therefore largely / somewhat agree / disagree with the question, because..."
for example with the Church question, I would end my first paragraph like this: "I can therefore largely agree with the question, because the Church's control of medical training held back medical progress during this period."
I hope this all made sense, I was kind of rambling!! if you need me to clarify anything or send example answers just let me know.
also, the best way to get used to the structure of questions is simply to practise! it isn't the most fun form of revision but it's the most useful because it forces you to think back to what you know.
write as many past paper questions as you can, and ask your teacher to mark them. once you get the hang of it you'll soon get into a rhythm and then you'll be able to smash the exams!
Watching this as a Year 10 who is struggling so much and with my mock exams next month... I'm hoping this video helps me bc I have not been doing great since Year 7
got all 9s in my mocks other than biology, art and further maths, theres no way im gonna get my grade up from a 6 in art cos tbh im just bad at it. but im determined to improve bio and further maths, and continue doing past papers. tysm for the vid! its helped me acknowledge that luckily im revising mostly in a good way :)
most useful vid
thank you
good luck everybody! i’m in year 10 but currently failing physics and trying to get better grades, i’m literally revising for a small test rn 😭
i honestly never understood why they make us do math in the science papers... like bro theres already 3 math papers testing if i can do that, i dont need my science grades being dragged down by math, they are bad enough as they are
wait i got 2 weeks and only now im seeing this...

Imagine getting all 9s in your GCSE's and becoming a youtuber.
Trying to get all 6s minimum in science. I’m going to get a grade 9 with the math exam if I put in the work, I know this because I got a Grade 8 in the mock exam. It’s just further maths for me I suppose. And I need to get 7s in English probably so that’s another focus I need to work on. As for history, I’m going to play it how you are doing.

Also for maths, literally every time i do a past paper im stuck with a 7 or an 8 if im lucky, like genuinely I just can't get the last few questions... do u hv any tips on improving this? thx x
forgot to mention but this video is absolutely no bs, love it sm x, my current grades r all 7s/8s, ill def update my grades soon!! good luck 2024s!!
Hi, not creator but got a 9 in my RS mocks (w/ 90% across two papers), I do edexcel. For me I do use flashcards unlike in the video because for most of the course I would summarize my notes onto quizlets for topic tests, so I strongly suggest using any past notes/summaries you have and to not make new notes from scratch unless you're missing any notes for topics. RS is sort of similar to geography and history as its an essay subject with a ton of information, but I think you can cut down the info you acc need to revise + remember vs the stuff you can deduce just from common sense.
For RS the MOST IMPORTANT thing I would say is to remember viewpoints/opinions, especially religious ones. So for every single spec point/issue you cover, you should know around 2-3 different opinions for different groups and be able to back it up with evidence and arguments. e.g. for abortion, if you have learnt Christianity you should know Catholic views and Anglican/Methodist/Church of England views and also differing non-religious views, along with relevant bible quotes/philosophical teachings and explain them. If you are presenting the Catholic view on abortion you need to state it, state the argument (eg Catholics believe in sanctity of life), give some evidence (in Genesis 1 humans are said to be made in "imago dei") and explain the evidence (imago dei means in the image of God, which shows that human life is special, holy and a gift from God thus must be respected and should not be destroyed). You need ro do this in any 6 or 10 markers. For short questions the important thing is to be very specific and answer the question exactly - you do not need to give a lot of info (literally 3/4 words are enough for some Qs) but they need to be highly specific, often scientific or exact religious terms.
@@cyberdiamond666 tysm!! im doing eduqas so i hope theres no big difference😭
In year 9 right now this shall help me
thank god i already did this
Great video, very helpful. Are GCSE grades just as important as your final A-Level results when it comes to applying for uni?
No not at all. A levels are so many miles more important when it comes to uni. Ofc u wanna try at GCSEs but unis look at gcse results much much less than they look at a level results
Also some A levels require certain GSCE grades
could you do a video on how to get a 9 in english? i'm really struggling with structures and stuff 😢
im getting grades from 1-5 in the mocks and i havent started revising. bro wallahi im finished
as someone who got almost all 9s, can confirm.

Too busy playing fortnite rather than reading books is too real💀💀💀
Got 2 days left and just seeing this 😭😭😭
I felt like i was heavily disadvantaged when i was heavily encouraged to do geography over history because i find that history it can be interesting to me if i care or commit myself but i barely found myself that interested in geography but i took in anyways because thought they knew best.. i got a 2. Makes me sad everything i think about it.
Did you get a 2 In the actual GCSE?

Fun fact: you’re reading the comments instead of revising 👍
how
15:57 while planning out the answers where would you write the question plan down? Because they don’t exactly give you a loads of space
Around the question itself, but not on the space actually for it? Or use pencil? you should jot some notes like that and rub them out as you use them up? idk...
