thank you! im honestly terrible at chemistry and even though there's a while until the exam, im super nervous since ive never gotten higher than a c in chemistry before
Thank you so much! I've watched your history and english literature videos too :)) I'm literally gonna follow all your tips! Tbh im very anxious for gcses and I feel kinda unprepared, but I'm hoping for grade 9s, especially in sciences 🤞🏼
@@azebarayamakeupartest9032 , try not to pressure or stress yourself out too much as much as that is easier said than done , u still have time and I'm assuming its easter holidays for you right now? So take advantage of that as much as possible to revise as much as you can - make sure to take breaks etc so u dont get burnt out , make sure to do something everyday tho , all this hard work will all be worth it💗
hey! it's probably different for every specification (i did CIE IGCSE) but for the practical paper acids and bases and separation techniques always came up for us. organic chemistry is always a big one in long answers and also the one with chemical processes e.g. electrolysis, contact process etc.
if you didn't know, there's an advanced information from most exam boards detailing which parts of the specification will and will not be on the test (mainly useful for science). You can find it if you search on your exam board website.
@@aashimakeswani I'm doing AQA and what I do is type advanced information for biology, physics chemistry etc... and it's shows me what's going to be in the test and what's not. This is because of covid. But I'm not sure if it's the same for ur exam board ,but try doing that.
Hey Sarah! Thank you so much for this video! My prelims are next week and I missed 3-4 days of preparation as I was sick. I had a lot to study for and this video literally saved my life. Thanks a lot❤
Ty i have my chem mock in about 10 days and although they’re not a big deal chem is easily my worst subject , I’ve just never understood it fully but I’m trying to learn the basics in that time 😩
Heyy! The syllabus has changed for the year 2023 and it seems like they have added a few new topics T T They also might've changed the question patterns a little. Do you have any tips on how to prepare for it? Thank youuu
Same bro i am gonna take my o level and they have changed syllabus so one thing i wanna tell u is that print learning objectives and study it or if you are goinb to take Cambridge assessments as well so i can recommend u some very good books according to new syllabus available in pdf!
If youre taking oct/nov them 100% solve past papers for m/j my exam is in a month amd im Low key panicking but its ok!! We can do it and also the topics that are added just require a little bit of memorization and understanding im sure it isnt that hard 🇺🇸😃😃
What is your take on watching past paper walkthroughs? Do you think they're advisable to use for going through past papers? Especially if you do not have a lot of time to go through the papers by yourself.
Hi! I personally think that you'll get the most out of it if you do the paper yourself and then only watch the video if you don't understand how to approach a question
@@SarahChu When are you taking your A levels? I took O level last year, and taking the A levels next year... I'm gonna be 19 in my final year of high school lol... feeling old
I want to do the practice papers, however, I'm struggling to do the questions as I don't know much of the content. How would you attempt trying to tackle the content in order to practice? Love your videos!
Hey! that means a lot! Ali Abdaal actually talks about the STIC framework in one of his videos a while back. basically, there's a lot of scientific evidence that has shown that your brain actually remembers content better if you do practice questions even if you don't know the content. my advice would be to try and learn as you go, if there's a fundamental concept you don't understand, watch a video on it or read up about it. then go back to practice questions :) hope that helped
@@SarahChu Thank you so much that's really helpful! I'll give it a go! I've been binging your videos and they have been so helpful, especially for English.
Thanks for these tips. Actually worried bout chemistry since I always get 7 when doing past papers. Gonna start my exams tomorrow with bio. Watched your bio vids already and have been studying accordingly. My teacher for bio isn't exactly available and I feel like asking my old teacher wouldn't be appropriate so I had to really look at the book carefully. I'm taking Oxford so it's kinda hard to find some topics for bio in RUclips.
U guys shouldn't worry about gcse this much haha. I clicked on this thinking it was A level and didn't even realize when she said GCSE. Anyways I got my 9 with an hour of studying the day OF the exam, it's not hard at all. A level is a completely different story 😭.
@@nishithaavlogs9077 I ain't expert, but I got A* in physics for GCSE. What I did was 1. Write down all the formulae in the syllabus. 2. Write down the various laws. (eg Lenz's law, newton's laws...) 3. Stick the 2 above stuff on my wall in my room so I look at it everyday several times. 4. Write my own summary notes based on textbook, teacher's notes (sometimes, because many times the teacher's notes aren't efficient), AND MOST VITALLY use model answers (from mark schemes) to write the summary notes. 5. Practise a shit ton of past papers, and correct them using marking schemes. 6. Wake up early twice weekly to study. 7. Work out 3+ times weekly to keep myself healthy physically as well. 8. Listen to lofi when reading the notes. Basically, I could then do more sets of 30 mins study sessions and feel less exhausted. Also, remembering a certain song I listened to while studying automatically pre loaded the information I grasped in my head. My personal recommendation is 'The girl next door'. I listened to this a lot, and well, whenever I hear it, I get flashbacks of me studying arrays last summer. 9. Don't be overconfident. Don't doubt myself. Be calm and chill. Even when I think I won't have time to complete the paper. I hope this was useful. Lol I just want to share my personal thoughts with people. Good luck with exams Btw I got A* in Maths and A* in Add Maths, like Sarah said, past papers wass the key for me to ace those.
Hi Sarah, could you please make a video on physics and Geography ? And can you please please make a discord revision group for you subscribers to use ?
btw i might be wrong but i think most of the keywords that are used by the examiners tend to be up on the specification sheet with all their descriptions and stuff.
Hi Sarah, my Science teacher hasnt been in so i havent learnt some topics for my mock exams. What do you think is the best and most efficient way to teach yourself a topic
The thing about evert past papers is that they are exhausting to do but the more you do them the better scores and understanding you gain. So u just wanna keep pushing no matter the pressure. Anyways. Thank you again!
HI PLEASE MAKE SOME VIDOES ON THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS OVER THE COMING WEEKS : ECONOMICS, BIOLOGY, FOREIGN LANGUAGE LIKE SPANISH, ENGLISH LANGUAGE, ADDITIONAL MATHS AND INTERNATIONAL MATHS. IT WOULD BE A REALLY BIG HELP!!!!!
When I took my GCSE chemistry many years ago (I got a C) I found the foundation paper very difficult (it was all applied chemistry and I just wasn't expecting this !!) The higher paper however was quite easy lol I struggled with basic chemistry but found the more advanced stuff easier. Go figure ??!!
if you have no notes and do not know the concept at all, i suggest making notes using videos from cognito or freescience lessons and reading over your textbook using the specification and then do a lot of questions
2:57 Ok when you say note down the topics, do you mean write down the chapters from which the question came from? or will you write down the exactly what was asked in the question? and another question on this, if 2 questions came from the same chapter and different pages of the same exam paper, would you make 2 seperate bullet points for each question, or would you bunch them together
@@SarahChu Thank you so much, i've been stressed for my cambridge board exams that i'm gonna write in 5 months, i'm really nervous because i've never really scored more than 80% even when i have been studying really hard for a subject, your technique is going to change that hopefully, thank you for your contribution to the community
My exam is in 10 days and I have only read the chapter I haven't memorized a lot of chapters, I only memoried 4 chapters and there are 15 in total. I always get high grades but I don't think i will be able to for chemistry. I know that in gcse we should be done every thing 1 month before the exam but idk how my time got wasted and now I only have 10 days left. Please pray for both me and my sister so that we can get full marks because my marks will depend on my future and career.
hihi i'm in year 10 and i've been wanting to start using anki but no matter how many videos i watch i don't understand how to use it 😭😭😭 would it be possible to make a little tutorial on it? thankssss
omg same!! i find it so confusing so i gave up on it. tbh i use quizlet and it's so easy to use and does pretty much the same thing except the spaced repetition, but honestly i don't have time to keep going over the same flashcards when i have so many subjects to study :/
@@SarahChu recently like literally a couple days ago it got closed for copyright reasons, before that it was a very good resource it had so many exam questions for maths and science
Hey so I recently changed my board from cbse to Cambridge and I am finding the chemistry a bit advanced …. Does anyone have any tips so that I can catch up with the other students and clear my basics
I just started pre 10 so my GCSEs are in 2024 if I’m not wrong and I don’t even take chemistry so I’m sure what I’m doing here haha but good luck to all the people having GCSEs this year
Hey Sarah. Great video! What would you suggest for practicing past papers but they contain information that I don't need to learn and it is hard to figure out exactly if that question adheres to a topic from my advance info..Any tips would be stellar.
Sadly we dont have the time to solve 50 past papers especially when you have 5 exams in 4 days. The syllabus this year is different thus they may change their questions (1:51) for example a lot of material is removed which is not always good. Gcse computers paper 1 was hard
would you recommend making short summary notes on key concepts for each topic and then after doing practice papers adding things you got wrong onto those notes and using them to revise?
Also I’m stuck on finding my specification for science (AQA) it’s full of unnecessary words not simple ‘students should be able to’ like yours in the video
In December I got a U in chemsitry and in march I got a 6+ I didn't get a 7 because she couldn't read my handwriting b I wrote solid weird . But thank you for your advice I'm hoping I can get a 7+
Hi Sarah! In all of your videos, you keep saying that there are specific topics in each subject that come up in exams often. could you please make a video about those topics, per subject? or you could just tell me those topics? thank you
I don't want to mislead you guys since I did CIE IGCSE for all my sciences!! My concern is that the topics that come up most frequently will be different for each specification (i.e. AQA, Edexcel, OCR etc.)
Hey Sarah, I have my mocks this week and I was wondering in Chemistry if you need to remember all the equations or will if they give you the equations on the chemistry paper?
hi! i'm not really sure what advice to give for those two subjects other than to do as many past papers for maths. in terms of english, it's a matter of practice and reading! :)
mathsgenie is amazing! videos on each topic and tonnes of past papers! just do past paper after past paper! i got a 7 in december and managed to get a 9 in march just through doing past papers! you can do it!!
Hi! Sure, I did CIE for most of my subjects and if the spec says "Explain how the internal structure of a leaf is adapted for photosynthesis" just use that as a question as and answer it on the back! :)

hi! i'm not really sure what advice to give for those two subjects other than to do as many past papers for maths. in terms of english, it's a matter of practice and reading! :)
hii, can you tell me what topics were the ones that came out consistently in the past year papers !! thank youuu
She already told that in an above comment. Scroll and u'll find it
Literally doing mocks for the next two weeks!!! Wish me luck 🥲
I am really stressed, I do combined science I am so behind on chemistry and I have a test in 2 days, what should I do?
The exam is tommorow I just finished the pastpapers let's hope for the best
How'd it go?
Hi can you give tips for motivation?😭
i did the recent jan 2022 cemistry paper as I have never seen the paper, I got 156 out 180 is that pretty good
That is awesome! I predict u got a 9?
Also, any tips since u've already given the exam?

@@thewaffle2570 know all the main points of each topic and make sure you do it slowly and be calm while answering because I was not calm
@@SarahChu can u do one for bio as i will do it in june

Hey sarah, do you have any tips as to how to practice maths in these last few weeks if you arent the best at it?

you know when you say turn the specification into flashcards, can you give an example because im a bit confused on it
Hi! Sure, I did CIE for most of my subjects and if the spec says "Explain how the internal structure of a leaf is adapted for photosynthesis" just use that as a question as and answer it on the back! :)
@@SarahChu thaankss and I know that i have my maths exams in like less than one month and im starting to get a bit stressed if im able to cover all the content. do you think its possible if i cover everything before my exams?
You seem to be left-handed, but can write with your right hand equally well!
baahah i'm actually right handed! it looks like my left hand because i figured out how to mirror my camera on my phone recently lol
@@SarahChu OH but why? Why mirror your camera?
@@cfleung2380 i just never bothered to change it back AHHA
