Hi Sola! I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for this advice and that it means a lot. I was really relieved to hear that it wasn’t too late to revise as I have a lot of regret looking back at year 10 as I focused on my leadership roles too much and ended up flopping four of my mock exams. I’m slightly nervous that the triple science exams will be difficult, so I made sure to memorise the paper 1 practicals, and for the half term I plan to complete learning the paper 2 practicals. I’m predicted 7 to 9s, but my year 10 mocks results were these: 9 Geography 8 English Language 8 Chemistry 8 English Literature 7 Physics 7 Fine art 6 Biology 5 Spanish 5 Religious Studies 5 Maths I was really gutted when I saw my maths results as I’ve never been good at math but I still believe it’s an integral part of my curriculum. I hope even with the 5s and the 6 that I can boost it up in time for summer. I’m so sorry for rambling. I wish you a lovely evening, and thank you so much again. I’d love to recommend your channel to my friends and I hope that I can return the same kindness that you have for making these wonderful videos! Sending lots of love and good luck to my fellow 2025 peers ❤ :D you can do this!
Im in yr. 10, i picked : Health and social Re Triple science (chemistry, physics and biology) Geography Maths English lang English lit I really hope i get 9s, not bc of my parents but bc I really want to do really well, im so nervous and scared but I know that Jesus will see me through it 🙃
your doing everything i’m doing haha, except for geography i do history! I’m in year 11, trust me RE is simple, just make sure to know the simple christianity quotes that you can use for nearly every question, alongside islam if you do that. For health and social care, trust me it’s alot of writing! Dont stress, make sure you know how to research properly and NEVER PROCRASTINATE!!!! Triple science, please, please, please don’t fall behind, because it’ll be hard to catch up. If you don’t know anything, always put your hand up, i can’t stress that enough, it might be scary, but it’s SO worth it.
@@AngelGoodwayso english literature is the books you do an analysis on- so for example my school does Macbeth, Christmas carol and inspector calls. Also, you do poems too that you have to memorise some quotes on. English lang is the study of english itself- you learn about structures, how to use them in paragraphs, how to structure paragraphs for certain questions, etc. Also there’s creative writing!
My first mocks are in 5th November (11 days) I’m hoping to get similar if not better results to what I got last time Remind me by replying to this if you want to know what I got for these exams I’ll also add predictions and how I felt after sitting each exam
on bonfire night is MEAN. our school moved mocks forward a week because the original week was the first week back. the week with bonfire night and two local open days lmao
@@takemetothelakes13 ur so lucky my mocks are the day we come back from the one week holiday so it’s not even a holiday if I have to revise for my exams 😭
Watching alllll your videos to help me achieve the best grades, ive got mocks after half term so i need to revise lots. Thanks for all your advice Sola:)
Amazing video Sola , currently in Yr11 mock exam week and request one tip. For maths i feel like i can easily get a 9(what im predicted) if i sat the paper at home.Howoever the pressure of maths especially always get to me in the exam and i end up doing horrible and messing up on questions i wouldnt normally mess up on>If u have any advice pls do say it
Hey girl I have a question hypothetically if you were in year 11 and you had 3 months until your exams and at the moment your at grade 3s for everything what would you do to eventually Achieve grade 9s on those final exams ? Revisions-wise
Wait what do you mean 3 months? Also just do what she says in the video: make a timetable and work on understanding some content each day, don't just try to memorise. Use the methods she talks about for the actual revision. And um...don't get your hopes up
hi I am year 11 and my english is no too good and ı can´t understand english in lesson do you have any advice about GCSE and learn english I need studty both them english and my lesson
If your tryna get 10s 😂 Practice the real exam/ppqs under-timed conditions thing for all subjects note what you got wrong e.g flashcard, make a Mindmaps closed book notes and then fill in the gaps with syllabi. Anki Quizlet pmt mme, Seneca, maths Watch, corbettmaths maths genie bbc bitesize, save my exams, free scienceguy, cognito drfrostmaths Make sure you can teach it to others (Feynman) shouldn’t be easy !Make a retrospective timetable/planner depends on the person but a few hours (30m bursts) and spaced repetition consistently every day adds up 🎉🎉🎉Dont procrastinate and surround yourself with like minded people and cherish the variety before Sixthform GOODLUCK💯
No difference in content, past papers have been sat for actual exams and specimen papers are just examples - they haven't actually been used for exams.
in my school we use a website called mathswatch, tell your teacher to sign up to it because the interactive questions are really helpful and it has many videos as well
would you recommend saving some exam past papers/questions till your closer to your exams cos I'm scared ill do all the past papers until I have none left 😅
Can u pls do sixth form advice year 12 for chemistry, biology and (maths if u can) so that we can get a* like you! GCSEs are amazing but for Ned school I need motivation and tips plssss u helped me get 9s!!! Tysmmmm and ilysmmm!!

THANK YOU SOLA ❤☺️
Could you do a video of Year 12 mocks and tips pls
Hii love your videos, do you think that at 9:20 I can use PMT for flashcards to cover the specification or should I make my own?
Did you print out all of your past papers?
Hey sola you know the flashcards for science should you make it for the content or only what the specification says students should know?
hii sola!!! Thank you so much for this video, it really helped reassure me a little bit before my mocks next week

Also just do what she says in the video: make a timetable and work on understanding some content each day, don't just try to memorise. Use the methods she talks about for the actual revision.
