It’s normal to feel sad when things don’t go the way you want them to. Don’t let that sadness hold you down. Put in the work and do as many past papers as you can and you should see improvement. Gcse maths is repetitive but it’s all about practice practice practice. You’ve got this
so glad you made this, fear always causes me to procrasinate until last minute and then i have to stress and do the exam on only 4 hours sleep. and it's been continuing even during gcse season, despite me trying to change. our mind really has a massive impact on everything

Thank you so much for this. I am currently doing my A -level exams and I have came out of every single exam so sad with my performance of each one, leading me to have a 8 hour meltdown over one of them. However, I have 1 more left and with your advice from this video, I am determined to remove my negative thoughts and put my all into it, so thank you!
Also the Just Do It mentality is so true! I procrastinate so much and wait for a specific time to do my work or the last moment simply because I’m scared of doing it and not getting the grades I want.
Heya my gcses are now over I just wanted to come back and say a massive thank you for the immense help and effect you had on me, I am sure you're help and advice has raised my grades quite a bit so thank you
thank you so much for this, i did my biology paper 2 exam and people in the same class as me were discussing this one question that i had gotten wrong :(( this video seriously makes me feel so much better about myself
Thank you so much for this video! Could you please do a video on how to revise a topic when your teacher hasn't taught you anything about it. I have a test for chemistry, making salts, but my teacher has not taught me a thing. How can I self revise and what are the steps? It would really help!! And I'm pretty sure so many people can relate to not having a helpful teacher 🥲
Perfect video idea, I will definitely add it to my list. For now, I recommend using the specification first to see what you need to know. Open your textbook, make your notes and remove all the noise, only write down the essentials you need to understand the topic. Watch a video for further understanding.Then always TEST your understanding by doing topic-based questions to finish off. You've got this!
This video motivated me a lot to work hard even though i have mocks in three weeks but this helped to understand that is still not to late Thanks Sola your videos means a lot ❤
I haven’t started my GCSES yet because I’m in year 9 and I’m going to year 10 in September I’m really bad at maths and I tend to always give up on maths this really helped meee ❤
Thank you so much, after doing both english literature exam, I feel really scared. I want to take english for a level but I feel nervous, that I might not get the grade. I am determined to remove all my negative thoughts and just pray that I can do my a levels. Thanks so much
That's grade 5-6 in AQA maths 2019 grade boundaries. You're need 42 out of 80 in paper 1 for the 2019 grade boundaries to get a grade 7/A You're need 46 out of 80 in paper 2 for the 2019 grade boundaries to get a grade 7/A You're need 48 out of 80 in paper 3 for the 2019 grade boundaries to get a grade 7/A
i think gcses are going prettty well and must say they have gone quick like we finish an exam we quickly move on focusing on the other exams and must say i feel not much nerves or pressure but there is only maths which i am stressed about as i feel like i wont get the grade i want so what should i do sola to get rid of this thought?
It sounds hard but whenever you find yourself doubting just think about something else e.g. what you’re going to do on holiday. Just remember that worrying doesn’t do you any good apart from ruining your day and no matter how much you worry - it won’t change your grade. Once you rationalise this in to head you’ll realise there’s no point in worrying and it’s best to move on so you can do good in the rest of your exams
im currently doing my gcses and i have such serious nervous problems i vomit every morning and cant control it sometimes i even force my vomit out as i know if i dont do it at home i will end up doing it at school 😓 my mum got really concerned about me and told the doctor about it but they said they could do nothing and prescribed nothing i just decided to just keep vomiting until my exams are over as i have no other choice.. if anyone has any suggestions then pls help me out
Hey sola, do you have any advice for me when it comes to choosing between psychology or maths a-levels? I rlly want to do dentistry, I’ve checked most unis requirement but i cant still seem to make up my mind, i think its only Queen Mary who don’t accept psychology ☹️ i rlly want to go to Manchester or Kings but I’m not entirely sure which subject to do??
Have a very important question.. please help me, The thing is, i completed my o levels a year ago, but due to a bad knee accident, i was hospitalized. I wasted my one year. So I'm thinking of applying as a private candidate. So.. •Can i write the as levels in October, and then immediately write my a levels in march?? Or should there be a year gap? Please reply soon sis, I'm in a very hectic situation.. -Regards
You don't need to sit AS levels, they are not compulsory and they do not really make a difference in university applications. I recommend spending a year or two revising A Levels. It's a lot of content so 1 year may not be sufficient. Check out the specification and textbook and see whether you'd be able to learn and memorise all of the content in time. I would personally recommend using 2 years to ensure you have a lot of exam practice. Hope this helps
Hey Sola! My school only lets me pick 3 gcse options , while in some others they let them take as much as they want. So when it comes to university applications , will they prefer a candidate with more gcses (and good grades) than me with less gcses and good grades? i know this is a lot but it would mean a lot to me if you reply Thanks a lot xxx
My school was the same and only let me do 3 GCSEs options on top of the compulsory subjects and it was fine for me! The number of GCSEs don't matter in university applications, it's more about getting good grades in the subjects that you do. So in reality, doing less GCSEs and getting better grades in them is much better than doing many GCSEs and getting average / below average grades. Hope this helps you out! :)
It’s normal to be upset when things don’t go well. But it’s important to remember that you mostly only recall the places where you lost marks / didn’t understand, and you often forget the places where you did well! Have faith in yourself that you will pass, and focus on the other exams so you can still do well 😊
hello, I really need help!! if I get a minimum 6|6 in combined science (I don't have my GCSE results yet) then I will choose to do a level biology, but as of now I would like to prepare for the course I was thinking about completely revising the GCSE AQA specification all over again just so the new content doesn't come as a shock to me, but at the same time I'm not sure if it's worth it - do you recommend knowing the combined science biology GCSE specification in full detail before I start doing a level biology? or should I revise the triple science biology specification (since I don't know the extra content included in that one)? or none at all? thank you :) also, sorry this comment isn't related to the video!
I think don't sweat it - everything is taught again in A level, just in more detail. Also, a lot of GCSE content is really basic compared to A level, so it's like learning new content! If you are in Year 11, enjoy your holiday, refresh and then start being serious once you start A level. Start to get ahead in terms of your notes, and use the lessons to review what you already learnt. Don't sweat the small stuff and take it easy :-)
Oh my gosh thanks I needed this ! I just finished my sociology exam and I don’t feel like I done well in it , then I come across this video .. thank you ! 😌🩵

Hi Sola, hope you've been well! I've received my GCSE results and am overall relieved to have the required/desired grades for A-levels I'm interested in.
