Time really flew away so quick but it’s important not to be scared, because these exams will only last a short period of time (:

@@Liza-po1oo I wanted to say, hope you will do good enough.
@@gasterd5528 aw thank you I hope you do well as well 🤍
@@Liza-po1oo I will certainly try.
I just wanted to tell everyone, these GCSES will only go well if you let them. Think positively, not negatively otherwise your diving in with the wrong attitude. But if you’re stressed relax because at the end of the day you’re going to do them… and you can’t really get out now. Goodluck everyone!! We don’t have long left 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
when the teachers said time will fly by and you will be in year 11 doing your exams they werent wrong year 11 has flown by and we are closer to our exams and its actually scary to think they start next week and we will finally sit them.

YES WE CAN !!
dawg im done for
@@trollfacegamung5512 u still have time !! i mean u literally clicked on this video did you not??? don't panic!! only four more school weeks and we're OUT!!
Good presentation. I totally agree with the 3rd point about the cut off. You can't be learning exam techniques and going through difficult topics a day before the exams! U wouldn't assimilate and It will create panic and anxiety. Consolidate what you already know, and that will boost your confidence. It is what you learnt long before the exams (residual knowledge) that will come true 4 in the exams. Infact at this time, you should just relax and meditate. That worked 4 me over 30 years ago. Best wishes to you all.
My first exam is on Tuesday (its biology) and I'm incredibly nervous, but I have found your videos so helpful in the past year and my grades in my mocks have improved alot because of them. Thank you so much for the help
same! i have biology paper 1 as well on tuesday, good luck!
Lol u said nervous
Same good luck
I’ve got IT on Monday 😅 (tomorrow)
@@stefanrobison9392 good luck

We’ve been reading the comments from the lest Y11 groups - its our turn now. Time files. Good luck everyone, don’t stress.
I have my gcses Next week and I'm stress upset crying and scared but I'm trying to try my hardest on the exams and I want a grade 4 in maths and English because I struggle with maths but I struggle with English a little bit thank you for helping me love u and love ur channel so much xxxxxxxxx love ur viedos xxxxxxxxx
aww bless you I’m in yr11 too. Dw defo try take to sm1 about ur stress. Good luck on all ur exams! make sure u do past papers over anything else! for the stress, I do yoga, meditation, journaling and extra sleep. 💗
For maths I recommend doing mathswatch(idk if your higher or foundation) and they have the interactive questions,do a bunch on what topic you’re struggling on
@Candela Cand thank u good luck for u too
mr bruff and mr salles are really good for english! good luck xx
@@ellasorchid thanks
One advice u should really stick to is; don’t talk too much or ask your friends what they studied on the day of the exam. It’s really gonna stress you and try your best not to sleep in the exam( if u don’t know what to write go through the others u have done to ensure they are perfect)
Thank you so much Sola, I definitely needed this!
This girl is a life saver God bless!!
your videos are so helpful and im glad to have found u whiles being in year 11. time flew fast. i still cant believe we are about to do something so important for our future already and i pray all goes well for everyone. we can do this! ✊
Drama exam in a few hours! I’m not scared I’m kinda excited, but the grade boundaries are so high! I was stressed but after watching this video I’m calm
thank you soo much u dont know what ur doing in my life love soo much
thanks so much for sharing this, there was some advice that I found so important to me that I never saw in other CZcams videos, so, thanks
awhhh honestly this was the best thing to watch bless youu, i acc love your vidios
hi can you please make a video on how you got a 9 on physics and chemistry because you have already done biology and it would be a big help
Hi how are you I'm under the water here too much raining 🥶
Thank you Sola!
Thanks ever so much Sola!!!
So helpful, thank you very much
Great video, I feel so much better now thank you ❤ I have my English literature paper on Wednesday and my nerves have settled, definitely will re watch this the night before the exam. Best confidence boost everrrrrr 😂
we got this!!!
im going to be retaking maths, english and biology so thank you so much for this video
THANKKK UUU LEGEND
girl you ate with this so bad !!
Thanks, they are truly useful! I understand the bit which you shouldn't be testing with your friends before exams, but I'm not sure whether I should test myself by looking at some 'quick-fire' questions.
hi imo i think quick-fire qs are good because if you know the answers it'll give a confident boost and if you don't then at least you'll learn one or two things that could give you extra marks and push your grade up !! goodluck :-)))
If it makes you confident then you can do that! However if it makes you nervous then maybe avoid doing that right before the exam but the day / two days before.
my first exam is RE but im so nervous with what topics will come up in the paper
same here but we've got this 💪
You've got this! It's normal to feel nervous but don't let that stop you from smashing the exam. Have confidence or just fake it until you make it ❤️
You've been putting in the work so no matter what topic comes up, just implement everything you have been learning and wing it if needed!
thanks for advice
Wow
Only 2 days left till my exams 😫
I love you so much. Also you’re absolutely gorgeous. 💞
Aww thank you!
Thank you so much Sola, watching your vidoes since ages ❤❤❤ youve helped me so much i cant be less grateful to you, im going to come back after my exams are over and let u know how i did, but in August 🎉 for results day 😅 GUYS WE CAN DO THIS!!! 5 YEARS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL FOR THIS DAY, “BELIEVE IN YOURSELF” (p.s. go🙏bed on time, u need to be fresh + hydrated for ur exam not sleepy = silly mistakes 🥱)

My ICT people good luck oh we are in this together hehe
Got English littérature tomorrow and I am so stressed out I am originally French and been in England only for 4 years and my grade are high 5 or grade 6 and i am scared that the question are just going to make me fail, you know like unseen sometime you do really good and sometime you do really bad
this video helped so much thank you
I am in Year 10 and I am doing my Bio GCSE's this year. My paper 1 is on Tuesday and I am so stressed as I haven't really been effectively revising. Ya'll in year 11 are so lucky
Not lucky at all at least u can repeat it next year with all ur gcses us will be in different years and some didn’t revise effectively
@@nonim4782 oh damn sorry i never realised i just thought you guys had more time T-T good luck on ur exams btw
Keşke kanalını daha önceden keşfetseydim...
Well in my case i cramed most of bio ppr 2 once and got 40 something higher then my whole class so i might just do that again
i don't know why but I'm not really stressed, and the funny thing is I'm not necessarily prepared. i feel fine in biology 1 now because i have been revising it a lot for a while. and i think maths too and English my strength
the rest of the subjects are ok but i haven't even revised for history, i keep saying i don't care about the subject but deep down I'm kind of worried and i don't know how to revise it. it has too many contents i don't really know. just some pieces. and i cant really find any proper help.
man i did not even study i jest get the idea and boom ez pass
I’ve got until tomorrow at 1pm to cram for computing paper 2 I hope I get a nine to save my grade 😂
Hi, if you could, would you be able to do a video on how to revise for a GCSE if your doing one a year early? Because I'm sitting ethics a year earlier than all of my other GCSE'S
im doing my gcses this year but last year i sat my french gcse a year early as i picked 2 languages, i would treat it the same as any other gcse however you have more time to revise so make the most of it, good luck
As unknownuser said, it's pretty much the same as revising if you were not doing it one year early. Be sure to check out my Religious Studies video, it should help with ethics :)
Thankyou xx
I HAVE GOT MY GEROGRAPHY P2 AND BUSINESS P1 TMR, AND IM SO CONFUSED LIKE IDK WHAT TO STUDY-
Exams will be hard i know and im not ready for none and they are just after a day
Bro the exam is tomorrow and I had an expedition a week ago
Wood Duck Everyone !!!
What if every point is my weak point?
I can’t take it anymore. It’s too much 😭
My first exam is tommorow. If only this video was released today. I am very scared!
I wish you the best and we will get through this and achieve our goal grades and remember we get 10 weeks off after GCSES
You've got this! The most important thing is focus on getting a good night sleep, eat a good filling breakfast, do breathing exercises and remember that you have been putting in the work this whole time! This video will also help for your other exams :)
@@SmileWithSola thank you for the tips my exam went well :)
@@saskiaransford2859 Happy to hear that :)
sfe mandem im lowering grade bounderies
Any special tips for me, i have a physics mock in 30 days and i have not done any revision whatsoever. If i do not get a 5 on this foundation paper my teacher will not let me sit higher in year 11 so basically crush my dreams. Please give me tipss ❤
Update: I got that 5 with hardwork and no tips and I'm in yr 11 now on higher paper time really flies.
someone pls help i’m so stressed because i have a revision time table but now it’s exam szn idk if i still follow it. Because i need to revise for the subject i have the next day whilst still covering other subjects as i made the mistake of not doing paper 2 content for all my subjects :/
most schools have half term between the paper 1 exams and paper 2s, do you not have that?
u have a 11 day break so u can do paper 2 then
i have exams tommorow
A day before an exam I can't sleep and I am just moving around so much and I'm stressed. I cannot remember what I studied.
It's normal to not be able to sleep too well the day before your first exam! I know I didn't. But after a few exams you will get into the swing of things and start sleeping well. The adrenaline will help you for the first few days so try not to worry! It may seem like you forgot everything but as soon as you open the paper it should hopefully come back to you. Try to believe in yourself and relax as hard as it may seem, and it will help you in the exam.
@@SmileWithSola Thanks but I've done 3 exams so far and it haplened for all 3 and I was studying until 1 minute before the exam started I was literally holding my textbook outside the exam room.
BESTIE CAN YOU SAVE US AND DO A VIDEO ON POETRY🙏🙏
Doing a video on English tomorrow! ❤️❤️
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Please Can you help me? My exams are in 15 days. I don't feel like studying. I just want to scroll. Even though I watch motivation videos Im just watching them & not do any work.... I don't have much to coverup, but I do have some gaps in many lessons... I started doing past papers.... after 5 papers i don't feel like doing any more(i did only 2 per day; and also I have 9 subjects, those exams are also back to back except of saturday & sunday. Some how I have only 15 days left to study all the subjects....... But still...i don't feel like studying. I've tried many study techniques but nothing works. 😭 I can wake up in the morning but since I have nothing to do/can't choose something to do, I will fall asleep again & wakes up 10am. My life has no point right now..............
PLEASE CAN YOU HELP??😢
You can do this! Try just do work in little sections like 20 mins
my advice:
choose the closest to exam subjects and write out the hardest topics then in a calendar, jot down what you're going to revise for the morning (i usually add to my timetable during the day). If you're like me and get distracted/bored easily then keep switching between subjects and sometimes music in thte bg helps you be more motivated(e.g 40mins of biology questions then 15 mins of planning an exam question e.tc) also make sure you take frequent breaks every so often! i usually stop all studying after 10 and just chill watching tv before bed. :)
Me too 😢 🇱🇰
i’m in the same situation except my exams are in 2 days 😢
@@yuniqlo are you doing biology? 😓
For the cut off I know this is so unreliable but for my mocks I has to pull so many all nighters to cover the subjects what if I pull at least one all nighter will I still forget it??
One all nighter may not cause you to forget it but since it's mocks it's better just to take it easy and learn from what you lose marks on in your exam. Mocks are not the end of the world, they just test what you currently know. Try to sleep well as it really affects your performance!
heyy I haven’t been revising esp for science and now I feel like it’s too late bc they’re is so much content.. I am doing foundation tho
Don't worry, get as much work as you can done now; for each subjects obviously take breaks but not to long and try to make sure that you don't revise stuff you find easy, that's a waste of time. If you really really need to you could cram some things the day before the exam.
Good luck God bless you❤️
@@wendo____O alright thank you🤍
@@wendo____O you too❤️❤️
Same but I’m higher triple
i have paper 1 and 2 tomorrow helllp
Hi.I am in yr 9 and i want to ask is there any tips that you would give me on what i should do to prepare and any mistakes you guys made?Thx❤
edit im in year 10 now😭time flies
the moment you start year 10- please, for your own SAKE start revising😭😭 - a year 11 w an re exam TOMORROW
@@loui1748 thank you ,good luck for your gcse tommorow❤
@@itszz_vanyaa thanks!! the only other piece of advice i could give you is to not stress over tests you begin to have as much at the beginning of year 10 and onwards until mocks- you might as well just think of them as in-class quizzes and knowledge checkups. for year 10, i advise starting to revise for ur first round of mocks (if they're june-july time) february-march time. its the perfect time to ask your teachers the questions ur not 100% on after school etc etc
If you have a library or a breakfast club go to them and do revision
what year did you start revising for gcse exams pls
Started being serious in Y11 - I recommend revising little by little from year 10.
Everything is my weak point
Would you say that just doing recent past papers is enough, including science and maths?
Try do as many as you can, even the older ones because those are more likely to repeat themselves + do specific exam questions on the topics you're worst at. It's all about focusing on your weaknesses not only your strengths
So regarding now, if I only finished the new spec, should I just do specific topic questions on what I am weakest at? , and look at past paper mistakes. As there isn’t time. Thanks!
Oh thanks! I didn’t know that older ones are more likely to repeat. I’ll do some
@@el9704 Yes, do specific topic questions on what you lost most marks on and maybe re-do the questions you lost marks on in the past papers to see if you improved. Older ones are more likely to repeat themselves but will be slightly different to mix the different years up. Hope this helps!
Unless I do 21 past papers in a day 😂 then I would finish all.
Man...At this point,biology is just like a lucky draw.There are many suitable answer for a particular question but the answer you put must be matching the mark scheme.And questions can manipulate you too.A slight different in the word of the question can confuse me and lead me to write a different answer.
Who else is the same as me
Ah yes.
Revise your weak points. The weak points THAT DIDN'T EVEN COME UP ON THE EXAM
The goal is to be better than yourself stay positive guys and thank you @smilewithsola
Thank you. You’ve helped me so much ahh🫶🏽🩷
Your advice is so selfless - thank you👍🏾🤎
I need to pass my a levels God willing 🫶
