Don't compare the amount of studies you do with others. It matters the effect you put into your revision not "I studied for 8 hours a day". Having the time to study will improve. It all depends on YOU and no one else, It Is never too late to revise now. You never know you can still get those grades if u have a short time. Practice makes perfect. Don't stress
Hi my name is Ramzan Mohammed. I am an up and coming GCSE Maths RUclipsr. Before you stop scrolling through the comment section I would appreciate if you take a moment to read my experience with GCSE's so you can learn from it. I wish all GCSE 2023 Students the best luck before your exams lets hope you smash them 👊🔥 Last year, right before i sat my GCSE's In 2022 I was stumbling across videos like this and confused about how to begin, I was at grade 3s for all of my sciences, biology chemistry and physics. The only subjects tbh i hated science and the only subject i genuinely enjoyed was mathematics. My teachers had a meeting with me, sat me down said they were considering moving me down to foundation and well. That day, I put in hours upon hours of grinding every single day watching every single video in freesciencelessons playlist for all of the topics and memorising the key information. Last year I opened my GCSE exam results - I got 181 marks in biology, 176 marks for chemistry and 169 marks for physics. 3 Grade 9s. To all year 11s thinking that it is impossible to get a grade 9 learn from my experience If i chose to let my procrastination get to the better of me and chose to contemplate revision then I would’ve been stuck with 3 grade 3s for science. There are only two paths and I forced myself to choose the right one, opening my results to all fails was one path and opening my results to grade 9s was the second. Choose the right path. In August (2022) I should’ve ideally opened my GCSE results to fails in every science. I woke up. And stopped letting my teachers *undermine* me, and my predicted grades *define* me. People like to talk about motivation and willpower but in reality there is no such thing, the tiredness you are feeling when you begin revising is your brain telling you to stop. Nobody likes to talk about going through the struggle and will confuse you to believe that is possible to get grade 9s with little revision and you should feel comfortable and revise little when that is the reason you will never improve. Pain, suffering and pushing when your not comfortable and when your tired to revise is what's going to improve your grade. Stop procrastinating and put in the work because when you open your results in august the 24th your procrastination will only lead you to failure. There are only weeks left before GCSES begin but there is still time for you to succeed like I did. Question is, are YOU going to wake up?
I was revising in September, October and November but it all fell off during and after Christmas holidays. I hope I can gather enough willpower to continue my studies to achieve the grades I want.
Thanks for this video! I’m getting so stressed due to exams and after a few days of intense studying I just broke down and am trying to find ways to get out of studying. I feel like my goals are not achievable and realistic in a 3 weeks span.
Last w week lets make the most of it if you have not started revsion start now and you can get god grades. Remember we also have a half term break so you will have time to revise paper 2 topics too
I have an exam LITERALLY TOMORROW and I'm finishing up on past papers where I left empty questions while also printing more out and doing more on the topics I'm struggling on (my printer is running out of toner 😭)
So true my friends lied that they didn't do any revision at all, and they somehow got 7s 8s and 9s. Like what!?!?? That's why I focus on myself much more ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have first term right after Eid, and there's only a few days to get the prep right, and girl, you got me motivated enough to give this a shot.
thank you for this, ive been revising non stop for a long time and honestly it all got too much and i had a mini 'burn out' for a few days. this has been SO HELPFUL to get me back on track, thank uou!!
the bit about people lying is so true lol, my 'friend' told me she wasn't doing much revision because there was a lot of homework, which I was sus of since she's known in the year to revise a lot and then told my TWIN that she'd been revising lots lately! Honestly🤣🤣but I have another friend who talks a LOT about the hours she does, but then she'so so helpful to everyone else revising and helps in any way she can! It's a mixed bag😭
Wow wow wow, I'm really inspired You are very truthful and honest Thank you for this video, I'm not only motivated but I'm inspired I would be opening my RUclips channel soon on how to study for waec so that other west African students can learn from my mistakes
Hey I did a practice essay on blood bothers I used your methods and I’ve got a target grade of a 2 but got band 4 and a grade 6 so thank you for your videos they are very help ful 😊
I haven't been able to start properly revising because I do art, which has taken up ALL my time. I'm so stressed and at this point hoping for a miracle
Now that the bulk of art has finished, definitely prioritise your weakest subjects from now on! Try not to stress about what you can't do, and do as much as you can without burning out. I believe in you and you've got this :-) Watch my playlist for subject-specific advice if you need it: ruclips.net/p/PL5VzP8nvofnapDhnpwG_KmZx1G4stkhQn
when I revise, I always think about the grades I'm gonna get when I open my results paper and it always motivates me because I'm so passionate about being a brain surgeon and I will do whatever it takes to get there. And I always watch people opening their GSCEs and I'm excited and nervous for when that happens to me. I wish u all good luck for exams and I will be back with my exam grades once I've got them..
I get bullied a lot and picked on because I'm quite smart and stand out in my year group for being so different I'm trying to revise because I desperately want to leave my school and go to a new sixth form I feel like my school does nothing as a girl held my neck today and I was worried she would strangle it.I want to have the chance to restart at a new school and try to make new friends and be happy. Because I never feel happy at school more anxious about whether I'll get beat up today. Because of this I have the fear of not getting the grades for the sixth form I want to go so I feel worried when I sit every test. How do I overcome this? Update: I did it I got into the other sixth form which is a grammar and the students seem much more friendly there. I got nearly all 7s and above apart from maths which is 1 off a 7 so I'm getting it remarked but thank you so much for all the support you gave me.🤗
Just believe in yourself. You can do it, trust the process and you will do great. Prove the bullies wrong and forget abt them they don't deserve you :)
This definitely doesn't sound right - tell a teacher / your parents / carer and get them involved. You deserve to feel safe at school. Focus on your studies, try your best to avoid those people and you will do well. After sixth form, you are very unlikely to come across them again or have to interact with them. Use that as extra motivation to work hard and prove them wrong as the commenter above said. You've got this and I believe in you 😊
@@SmileWithSola my parents have tried but the school unfortunately doesn't take it seriously because it's several people like my whole year group ganging up on me. Thx for the advicr though. I look up toyou as an inspiration as I'm predicted all 7s and above but aiming for 8s and 9s. I used to get 5s
Me too I desperately want to leave the school bcs their are some teachers bullied me but not the normal bullying is like I got it right a question than the the teacher says is wrong even if I show him the marking scheme even sometimes he says using the marking scheme so the reason I don’t want give up this exam is not to come back at that school bcs if I fail I have to repeat a year and I am going to see his face again. 🥲🥲🙁🙁
For me the revision I do for the sciences, consist of cognito/free science lessons videos. I find it really helpful looking through the videos also for cognito you should go through the questions under each video. Also if you have any videos look through them and ensure you know the practicals, I get 8/9 in sciences through this method. Good luck
@@tiannak9908 another thing that really helps with science is when you do past paper questions, the ones that you see coming up a lot like the 4 markers, you can write flashcards on these because theyre most likely to have specific answers that will come up in your exam this helped me loadsss in science
My Problem with Myself is that I procrastinate to much , get too tired after school and then can’t be bothered to revise 🙈 , How do I overcome this I really don’t know how I’ll be able to improve my revision so close to the exams Thanks so much for your videos !!
Hey Shola, I am also Nigerian and I still have about 2 years to go until my IGCSE but starting early never killed anyone so I want to get a head start, I decided I would start with biology and finish the entire IGCSE syllabus start to finish before I get into year 10 (I'm almost done.) but now I am wondering if I should be doing everything topic gradually at the same time instead of focusing on 1 topic at a time, what is your advice? Also do you have an email I could send questions to?
I’ve got my grades back from my mocks and I’ve only got 5/6 and only two 7s I really have been trying to revise but i can’t seem to remember stuff and my grades aren’t going up, what should I do with the little amount of time I have left?
Ok if you got everything 9 can you please help me at what should I revise bcs I really don’t know I don’t think iam ready I barely got the mock exams 6 or 7 idk what to do
Hi, I’m in Y10 right now and I was wondering if you had any advice on exam stress. Every-time I try and go to revise I tell myself I’ll never be able to learn all the content or that it doesn’t matter cause I’ll fail regardless. My stress has gotten so bad to the point I cried in the middle of one of my English languages practice exams because I was so stressed out and kept telling myself I was going to fail. Do you have any advise on how to deal with the stress?
The only thing I'd critique about Seneca is that you can scroll back up and put the answers in - personally I don't feel like seneca works because it doesn't feel like active revision, I feel like I'm going to forget it in a few days. Hope this helps
I like Seneca for mixing things up and making revision fun every now and then! So if you enjoy it, then use it when you feel bored / demotivated. But if your exams are coming up, mostly focus on exam papers from now on instead :-)
Short term pain for a long term gain 🤙💕

my study routine is 2 hours then a 2 hour break, works perfectly for me so try it if you can study long periods but keep getting burnt out :)
It's like pomodorro but longer

Hi, how much revision should you do the night before your exam
Hey I’ve been getting around 50-60% on each past paper for science (paper 1 and paper2) is that good in securing a good grade in the summer ?
Like around 30-40/ 70 (btw I’m doing combined higher !)
