Hi! I’m not sure if you’re busy and if you’re unable to then i completely understand, but you would you be able to make me predictions for this years papers using the predictions for last years papers and last year’s papers? (Maths and English specifically). Thank you so much for everything ! (Regardless of whether you’re able to or not xx)
@@LazilyLadz ay but predictions are kinda hard to make. its better if u do it by urself, as its a lot more effective in understanding the trends b/n the years.
@@LazilyLadzit probably wont be possible because everyone does different exam boards so thats too much for one person to do, instead just look at past exam questions and look for what characters/ themes havent been asked
Can you show us how you structured out your time, and what subjects you did on each day. And how many hours you did. Im really scared i will forget everything if i leave it for later.
@@A.Daniel509 yee bet but my schedule started a week or so ago:- Im taking igcse 9-1, 8 subjects Chem:- April 05-08 (Past Papers: April 09) Physics:- April 10-12 (Past Papers: April 13) Bio:- (I've alr revised this subject so April 14, Past Papers: April 15) Math:- April 15-17 (Past Papers: April 18) History:- April 19-20 (Do past papers along with notes on April 20, as well as learn how to answer essay-types) Geo:- April 21-24 (General Knowledge and key words up to April 22, April 23/24 are Past Papers Along with case studies) Do past papers on your weakest subjects up to 2 days before the exams start, and then do more questions on the subjects which u take first, as you need to hit the ground running 👍 If it really is that stressful, I recommend getting familiar with caffeine and staying up before your exams start, and only revising parts you don't feel comfortable with a day before the exam. Make sure that you get ur spec, and avoid social media and games, as these next 1-2 months are the last haul before Summer. Gl bro 👊
I wasted the last 2 years of my life by not paying attention in class, flopping my gcse mocks and literally binge watching Netflix series. Just today, I realised i’m screwed. I started stressing like crazy watching ‘last minute’ videos for gcse - it didn’t help but it made my stress level worse seeing that there’s just so much to do is so little time. I am so glad I came across this video. Giving me some hope to get from such little to at least all A’s. From this video, I’ve realised that GCSE is mostly memorisation and with the motivation I can achieve what I want. It’s not too late to start. So to my future self, when opening those results on the 22nd of August, I hope you succeeded. Hard work will pay off.
how do you memorise the mark scheme like do you just look at every past paper's mark scheme and just memorise it? do you make flashcards on it to help you memorise?
@@pluvvioso basically when you do lots of past papers you will spot some questions that are always repeated: memorise the exact way to answer those. for questions you didn’t know how to answer: memorise the answers for those as well. the questions you knew how to answer: still look at the mark scheme to see what is the ideal way to write and the key words
@@pluvviofor the questions you didn’t know how to answer i would write down the answers for them on a separate sheet so before your exam you know exactly what you’re not confident with and u can go over that instead of going over things u already know
im not even lying, i got so sick of getting those how to get grade 9 videos this is the only one i dont regret watching. it wasnt repetitive at all and gave realistic advice. thank u ur time and effort is appreciated
I agree! The fact she didn’t like show off the grades that much as well (not that those ppl in those vids didn’t earn them and shouldn’t be proud) it just feels more real and down to earth😊
Same. I have been pressured by myself so hard throughout high school and now I’m doing my mocks in about a week or two and I feel so stressed it’s unbelievable…
BROO you are a godsend! this vid literally snapped me out of my "i'll pass anyway" excuse and honestly motivated me to use these last few days wisely. i've been neglecting revision lately because i keep thinking i've already left it too late, but this was a real wake-up call. thank you so much
I have 10 days left in my exams and honestly idk what to do.. I've screwed up everything and I regret not studying before ( I did study tho but not as efficiently as I could have).. But even if I have very less time I'll try my best to improve my grades.. I'll revise the notes I've made and practice past papers.. And thank you so much for this video it actually motivated me to do something even tho I've less time cause for the past months I've been thinking I've no time and I can do nothing..
@@xamatchyaax5106it's okay.. I know how you feel cause I'm pretty much feeling the same..I just want you to know that you can still do a lot.. Don't compare yourself with others and don't feel like you can't achieve the grades you want, cause I'm sure you can.. all you need is to work hard till your exams, practice lots of past paper questions.. ik you won't be able to get them right on your first attempts but trust me when you keep on practicing them you'll improve a lot..

i can get 7+ in pretty much all subjects without revision, purely coz i learnt that i was terrible at revision, never knew how to revise and could never concentrate enough. now i'm prepared to lock in to get the 9's i know i'm capable of, i just need a little push. gonna use this advice for pretty much all future revision, thanks leia.

This gave me so much more courage. I recently travelled from abroad and now living in the UK, and because of the college system, i was stuck in entry level english and maths for 3-4months and was just moved up to Higher maths and 9-1 English Language in December. Though im doing alright in english language, i have high ambitions for higher maths which i’m not even close to achieving and i already regret 2/3 months i had before to study in which i didn’t know. Now i have 1 month and almost 3years of content to learn and understand and be able to apply… it sucks and i can already feel the burn out (esp having worked so hard abroad learning a new language for top grades, only to move to england and be told they weren’t even GCSE equivalent) but i’m determined and willing to sacrifice anything that stops me. Thank you so much for this ! An absolute star xx
I used to barely revise for any tests, scraping okay grades in my exam, wanting medicine as my future without putting any work in. For the last week, I just realised that I have to lock in for these exams and I have to revise with a clear plan ahead. I really appreciate the video for emphasising on factors that we should go over, thx for the tips.
im in year 10 but ur a life saver. ive had enough of my teachers giving us lectures for being so dumb😭😭 hope i can come back here in a year and a half and say i got all 9s thanks to you!!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SO SO MUCH THANK YOU I REALLY NEEDED THIS I WAS STRESSING BC I STILL HAVE SO MUCH TO DO AND THER IS LESS THAN 4 WEEKS LEFT, THERE SOME PARTS OF HISTORY THAT I HAVENT EVEN TOUCHED BUT IM NOT GONNA ALLOW MYSELF TO BE OVERWHELEMED AND I WILL MAKE IT, IM COMING BACK HERE ON RESULTS DAY TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, STAY TUNED😭😭😭😭
It's 2 weeks till my GCSE and I am in a similar position you were in. This video has given me the inspo to push myslef even harder. Thank you so much I really needed that.
I'm literally watching this after the "IGCSEs results reaction" video, and Ik im late and everything but thank u smm you've motivated me alot more to work harder and work to make myself proud and not do it for others. thank u again and belated congrats for u in passing ur GCSEs. AND WHAJHDJHSAJ A FELLOW WAYZENNI AHHHH I WISH I COULD REWARD MYSELF WITH SOMETHING THAT GREAT
This is honestly the best GCSE video I've ever seen not only was it extremely educational but all of the apps/websites and tips u included in the video iareAMAZING I had no idea half of those existed
it's bc the past few years were affected by covid a lot more than we were so to make it fair the grade boundaries for us would be higher 😭 (im assuming)
@@1ecstasyy thats accurate my teachers told me the same thing. it is bec the evidence most people did during covid made most students get inaccurately high marks with low effort. so theyre balancing the boundaries again. this sucks but oh well.
Same thing, but with A levels and i got a 67% attendance for the first year due to illness. 3 weeks to go wish me luck 😂. Will be doing this thank you, but luckily only have 1 more subject I'm behind on so can focus everything on that. Will be finishing solo levelling and sweet home as a reward. It's AQA psychology.
Thank you so much for this! Im in a situation where I have to learn most if not all of my content at home, and im in year 10. I know its doable but its difficult to think positively, this video is a huge help.
IM SO STRESSED OUT OMG like they start in a week and I haven't been going to school since before christmas cuz of my mental health, and I was meant to be working from home all that time but I haven't done any since I dropped out cuz I was dealing with a lottt. I'm really struggling to bring myself to revise cuz it just doesn't feel worth it atp and there's so much content that every time I try to do any I get so overwhelmed😭But this video really helped to motivate me, especially since you missed a lot of school yourself - no other videos I've watched have taken that possibility into account. THANK U SO SO MUCH!!!
Tysm for this❤❤I am doing my igcses this MJ and although I have worked lots I still get scared all the time.I hope we all achieve A*s!! Remember you can do this!!!
Omg thank you so much!! I'm not taking all the papers, just paper 1 for economics so it's way easier for me than it was for you ofc but i was still panicking because i tend to procrastinate a lot and i have only 20 days left. So thank uuuu sm ur a life saver
You’re actually a life-saver By the way how did you organize your revision? Could you make like a video on how you organized your revision like what subjects you did on what day etc?
hey, just started year 11, looking at this video has reassured me that i am doing the right thing. definitely gonna use your advice of learning from the markscheme for the sciences! i'll try and check in when im nearer to my actual exams, but for now, wish me luck on my november mocks!
What motivated me was knowing that if i have to try again , Ill have to pay for it , and its a lot whether i manage to work and paay for it myself or my mum ends up having to pay for my education , it's a loss of a big enough amount of money and also the fact that the minimum respect my family and people ik have will fall rapidly and I'll be a laughing stock fs given many people predicted I'll fail if I went like how I did , now idk what's gonna happen but a big part of me believes that I'll end up proving them right and be a huge joke but a small part of me hopes i end up getting grades good enough to not have to repeat gcse and die , i personally wouldn't mind doing it again if it meant becoming a pro and learning things properly but i care too much more about people's eyes and opinions to respect my love for learning instead of grades.
My school is starting on the 15th of January (my country’s terms and holidays work different, but we have the Cambridge curriculum) and I’m starting grade 10. This video really motivated me even more to do really good this year. I have always in the top ten of my grade, but I really want to take it to the next level so thanks for all the notes. When I actually write my final exams, I 100% will come back.
Hey Leia :) Thank you for the video! I was wondering when you get the chance, can you do a video on performance strategies? How do you keep a clear mind and have a masterful performance?
GIRL IVE MET YOU OMG I DIDNT REALISE IT WAS YOU! YOU'RE AMAZING AT VIOLIN, I could truly see your passion!! My nana asked for a picture (im so sorry ik that must have been awkward)
You truly are incredible!! I’m not British or live in Britain but oh my word this helped me with my exams!!! Thank you so much and I love your violin skills ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I don’t have much time left but I really need to improve my grades and this video’s really helped and inspired me. I’ve subscribed. Looking forward to what else you have to show.
If you do Pearson Edexcel history (like me), learning how to structure your answer for each question type is really important! It helps a lot because even if you mind blank and can't remember specific facts, try to follow the formula and you should get at least some marks. I have structures for all question types for Medicine, Cold War, Richard and John, and Russia - if anyone is struggling with structuring their answers for any of these topics, I can let you know what formulas I use! Good luck everyone - but I'm sure you don't need luck, because you're strong and you can work hard right now to get the grades you deserve! Plus, you're worth so much more than your grades :) don't stress too much xx
@@bubbxles1843 sure! For Russia: Q1 this basically structures the answer for you, all you have to do is fill in the lines! Q2 - 12 marker "explain why" question. they will give u 2 bullet points in the question which u can use. so do 3 paragraphs - one about the 1st bullet point, one about the 2nd, then one using your own knowledge. (there's nothing saying you MUST use the bullet points, but they're there to help, so I'd use them if I were you) each paragraph should IDENTIFY a reason, then DEVELOP with your knowledge, then LINK back to the focus of the question. "one reason for this was..." then insert some facts, then "this led to / caused / meant that" (link it clearly back to the Q) IDENTIFY, DEVELOP, LINK! don't overthink this question, just 3 short/medium paragraphs, each one explaining a reason Q3 will ask you to look at two sources and state "how useful" they are. for this question I use JCOP: J- Judgement. "source A is useful for the enquiry because it shows/suggests/implies..." C- Content. directly quote the source - "the source says that..." make sure you quote something that is relevant to the point ur trying to make O- Own knowledge. after quoting the source, say "this is accurate as I know that..." and insert some relevant facts that you know P- Provenance. this is about how reliable or trustworthy the source is. "the provenance of the source makes it useful because..." for example if it was written by an eyewitness, that makes it more reliable so in summary for Q3=two JCOP paragraphs, one for each source Q3b is nice and easy. just state the main difference between the two interpretations - it will probably be made quite obvious for you. try to quote each interpretation briefly Q3c - this says "suggest one reason the interpretations may differ" - for this one you ALWAYS want to say that they differ because they have used DIFFERENT SOURCES OF INFORMATION. this answer works for every possibility. each interpretation will correspond to one of the sources, either A or B. "the interpretations may differ because they have used different sources. interpretation 1 focuses on ... so may have relied on sources like source A, which says... however, interpretation 2, with its focus on ... may have used sources like source B" I hope that made sense Q3d is the 16 marker. DON'T OVERTHINK IT, just because its a longer question u don't need to panic! you can use your "main difference", that you wrote about in Q3b, as the basis of ur 1st paragraph each paragraph should look something like this: Argument, Knowledge, Other argument, Judgement step 1: think about what ARGUMENT is being made in the interpretation (always start with the interp they're actually asking u about!!) your first sentence could start something like "interpretation 1 argues that...", I would also include a quote here step 2: back this up with your KNOWLEDGE. one, maybe two sentences of your knowledge that agree with the argument made in the interpretation step 3: what does the OTHER interpretation argue? "however / on the other hand, interpretation 1/2 argues that..." this is literally just one sentence stating what the other interp says! step 4: make a JUDGEMENT. "therefore, we may agree more/less strongly with interpretation 1/2, because.." this seems like a lot when i type it all out but honestly it's not so bad. INTERP IN QUESTION, KNOWLEDGE, OTHER INTERP, JUDGEMENT. do 3 of these paragraphs - with a very short intro and / or conclusion if you have time - and you'll do fine. when you're planning your points, look at both interpretations and highlight the key points they're making. try to find 3 and these can then form your 3 paragraphs I hope this made sense, I can clarify if anything isn't very clear! and if u want me to write any example answers then I can
@@bubbxles1843 For cold war: Q1 is "explain two consequences" this is nice and simple, just two short paragraphs start each one with a clear sentence about what the consequence is. then explain how the event in the question led to this consequence. for example, I recently did a question "explain two consequences of the Cuban revolution". for my first paragraph I wrote that one consequence was that relations between Cuba and the USA worsened. i talked about how the USA had close ties with Cuba and many Americans owned land and businesses there, but when Castro took over, he nationalised business and industry, which took companies from Americans. this damaged the partnership between the USA and Cuba also my top tip is that you can talk about increasing or decreasing tensions for pretty much every cold war Q1. consequence of Cuban revolution? increased tension. consequence of Berlin Wall being built? increased tension. consequence of Gorbachev's new thinking - decreased tension. Q2 - honestly the idea of a narrative account is kind of a weird one, but its not too simple. make sure you've learnt the sequences of events for major crises. for the narrative account you'll want to structure your answer as a beginning, middle and end. paragraph 1: how did the event start? paragraph 2: what was the turning point / middle / major crisis of the event? paragraph 3: what brought the event to an end? the key thing for this question is to LINK YOUR PARAGRAPHS TOGETHER - by this i just mean phrases like "as a result" "this led to" "consequently" etc - it's important to show how one thing led to another Q3 is nice because you get a choice. pick the 2 questions that you know the most about. this question is ALWAYS the importance of something on SUPERPOWER RELATIONS. they might rephrase it as "relations between the USA and USSR" or "the development of the cold war" but its always the same idea of relations between america and the ussr. for each 8 marker here, make 2 or 3 points about how the event impacted relations by the way for cold war I'd recommend really focusing your revision on consequences of events/crises, sequences of how one thing led to another, and how everything impacted relations. since these are the basis of the exam questions they're probably the best things to focus on in terms of revision again, i hope i made sense and sorry my replies are so long!!! and again I can explain anything if needed or send model answers
Thank you sm🙏I’ve been needing to revise for the cold war topic in history for a while but havent gotten around it, also if its not too much of a bother, could you write up an exam answer for medicine?
Thank you soooo much!!!! You’re a life saver, I wasn’t motivated to start studying and now I have 4 weeks left and I’m stressing so much. Your vid has motivated me to start studying. I’m so glad I came across this video.
Hi Leia, I just wanted to say that you are an absolute inspiration. I loved the structure of this video and your amazing attitude to revision for your GCSEs. Thank you so much this is so inspiring.
Girl this video is SOOOO helpful. I was struggling studying history and my other subjects and this was everything I needed and more. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Geo:- April 21-24 (General Knowledge and key words up to April 22, April 23/24 are Past Papers Along with case studies)
Do past papers on your weakest subjects up to 2 days before the exams start, and then do more questions on the subjects which u take first, as you need to hit the ground running 👍

@@lem.9605 just remember the structures that you need to have and what information you must include to achieve the marks you want from the mark schemes, basically everything you need to do for the exams is on those mark schemes :) GL!!
"You just need..... a strong will!"
Great, my one academic flaw of no willpower.
i can get 7+ in pretty much all subjects without revision, purely coz i learnt that i was terrible at revision, never knew how to revise and could never concentrate enough. now i'm prepared to lock in to get the 9's i know i'm capable of, i just need a little push. gonna use this advice for pretty much all future revision, thanks leia.
My exam is tomorrow, holy moly 🤯

"april or march" GIRL ITS SEPTEMBER IM TERRIFIED OF FAILING.
This gave me so much more courage. I recently travelled from abroad and now living in the UK, and because of the college system, i was stuck in entry level english and maths for 3-4months and was just moved up to Higher maths and 9-1 English Language in December. Though im doing alright in english language, i have high ambitions for higher maths which i’m not even close to achieving and i already regret 2/3 months i had before to study in which i didn’t know. Now i have 1 month and almost 3years of content to learn and understand and be able to apply… it sucks and i can already feel the burn out (esp having worked so hard abroad learning a new language for top grades, only to move to england and be told they weren’t even GCSE equivalent) but i’m determined and willing to sacrifice anything that stops me. Thank you so much for this ! An absolute star xx
I used to barely revise for any tests, scraping okay grades in my exam, wanting medicine as my future without putting any work in. For the last week, I just realised that I have to lock in for these exams and I have to revise with a clear plan ahead. I really appreciate the video for emphasising on factors that we should go over, thx for the tips.
What a great video to see when I got my exam tomorrow 👍
I already use most of these methods so when I heard you talking about them i felt SO RELEIVED.
im in year 10 but ur a life saver. ive had enough of my teachers giving us lectures for being so dumb😭😭 hope i can come back here in a year and a half and say i got all 9s thanks to you!!
I wish I could go back to year 10 to study more 😅 good luck bro
@zesu09 ,, same honestly 😭😔
How’d it go!
This video honestly helped a lot with narrowing things down on what I should focus on for my exams next year. Thank you.
Learning the mark scheme is a must y'all.
where do we get them ?
I saw you in southbank. Now I’m doing my GCSES. And watching you tell me how to study. Crazy.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SO SO MUCH THANK YOU I REALLY NEEDED THIS I WAS STRESSING BC I STILL HAVE SO MUCH TO DO AND THER IS LESS THAN 4 WEEKS LEFT, THERE SOME PARTS OF HISTORY THAT I HAVENT EVEN TOUCHED BUT IM NOT GONNA ALLOW MYSELF TO BE OVERWHELEMED AND I WILL MAKE IT, IM COMING BACK HERE ON RESULTS DAY TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, STAY TUNED😭😭😭😭

I'm literally watching this after the "IGCSEs results reaction" video, and Ik im late and everything but thank u smm you've motivated me alot more to work harder and work to make myself proud and not do it for others. thank u again and belated congrats for u in passing ur GCSEs.
AND WHAJHDJHSAJ A FELLOW WAYZENNI AHHHH I WISH I COULD REWARD MYSELF WITH SOMETHING THAT GREAT
This is honestly the best GCSE video I've ever seen not only was it extremely educational but all of the apps/websites and tips u included in the video iareAMAZING I had no idea half of those existed
you are such a good person I genuinely hope for ur success in everything you do
you know the video is good when you start taking notes
Pleaseee can we have the whole thing 😭
You are literally theost impressive person I've seen ever😭😭 on tour since you were 6 and all A*?!! Absolutely crazy😧😧🎉🎉
I just finished the mock yesterday. WHERE WAS THIS VIDEO WHEN I NEEDED ITTTT
WDYM 2024 BOUNDARIES WILL BE HIGHER (im done for)
tbh it rlly depends on how hard or easy the paper is
it's bc the past few years were affected by covid a lot more than we were so to make it fair the grade boundaries for us would be higher 😭 (im assuming)
@@1ecstasyy thats accurate my teachers told me the same thing. it is bec the evidence most people did during covid made most students get inaccurately high marks with low effort. so theyre balancing the boundaries again. this sucks but oh well.
Hopefully you guy’s boundaries won’t be as high as 2023
Nahhh they can’t we were lockdown year 7s so they have to have mercy
u low key saved my gcses girl
Same thing, but with A levels and i got a 67% attendance for the first year due to illness. 3 weeks to go wish me luck 😂. Will be doing this thank you, but luckily only have 1 more subject I'm behind on so can focus everything on that. Will be finishing solo levelling and sweet home as a reward. It's AQA psychology.
Omg I’ve also missed out on school bcz of an illness but I’m in year 10 doing an English lit gcse !! Good luck
As level here toooooo
i love sweet home as well
@@0seunggf Yaaas
Thank you so much for this! Im in a situation where I have to learn most if not all of my content at home, and im in year 10. I know its doable but its difficult to think positively, this video is a huge help.
IM SO STRESSED OUT OMG like they start in a week and I haven't been going to school since before christmas cuz of my mental health, and I was meant to be working from home all that time but I haven't done any since I dropped out cuz I was dealing with a lottt. I'm really struggling to bring myself to revise cuz it just doesn't feel worth it atp and there's so much content that every time I try to do any I get so overwhelmed😭But this video really helped to motivate me, especially since you missed a lot of school yourself - no other videos I've watched have taken that possibility into account. THANK U SO SO MUCH!!!
Good Luck with exams and what you are dealing with you can get through it
Keep going 👍
You can do it!! I believe in you! :)
How’d it go?
currently revising for my a level mocks, and this was just as helpful and motivating. thank u so much
Tysm for this❤❤I am doing my igcses this MJ and although I have worked lots I still get scared all the time.I hope we all achieve A*s!!
Remember you can do this!!!
I'm doing mine too!😭all the best to youuu!
@@lusesimbeye You too :)))
You look so cool in those photos 😭😭
Omg thank you so much!! I'm not taking all the papers, just paper 1 for economics so it's way easier for me than it was for you ofc but i was still panicking because i tend to procrastinate a lot and i have only 20 days left. So thank uuuu sm ur a life saver
coming back in 4 months💪(but seriously this helped sm!!)
Yes!! Best of luck :)
i MUST remember the mark scheme (play 'can you feel my heart?')
I'm sorry, I had to type another comment. This is one of those videos that is accidently a video I would rewatch consistently for an entire century.
My first GCSE is this week, lets see how good this video is
dam, nice advise. will use in my next life
You could use them for A Levels too 😎
下辈子用哈哈哈哈哈哈
LMAOOO
Thank you so much, this video cleared literally everything up for me.
You’re actually a life-saver
By the way how did you organize your revision? Could you make like a video on how you organized your revision like what subjects you did on what day etc?
hey, just started year 11, looking at this video has reassured me that i am doing the right thing. definitely gonna use your advice of learning from the markscheme for the sciences! i'll try and check in when im nearer to my actual exams, but for now, wish me luck on my november mocks!
THANK YOU this might have just saved my grades🙏
What motivated me was knowing that if i have to try again , Ill have to pay for it , and its a lot whether i manage to work and paay for it myself or my mum ends up having to pay for my education , it's a loss of a big enough amount of money and also the fact that the minimum respect my family and people ik have will fall rapidly and I'll be a laughing stock fs given many people predicted I'll fail if I went like how I did , now idk what's gonna happen but a big part of me believes that I'll end up proving them right and be a huge joke but a small part of me hopes i end up getting grades good enough to not have to repeat gcse and die , i personally wouldn't mind doing it again if it meant becoming a pro and learning things properly but i care too much more about people's eyes and opinions to respect my love for learning instead of grades.
Factual info making me cry for the 38437049370595370th time:
Omg this made me actually feel more motivated to do my gcses, especially for biology and history this year! Thank you so much!!
Very excited for the video! ❤️😍🔥
My school is starting on the 15th of January (my country’s terms and holidays work different, but we have the Cambridge curriculum) and I’m starting grade 10. This video really motivated me even more to do really good this year. I have always in the top ten of my grade, but I really want to take it to the next level so thanks for all the notes. When I actually write my final exams, I 100% will come back.
im gonna be watching this everyday for the motivation bro ty
I’m very glad I found this video in year ten. Thank you, RUclips algorithm! 🙏🏻
Hey Leia :)
Thank you for the video!
I was wondering when you get the chance, can you do a video on performance strategies? How do you keep a clear mind and have a masterful performance?
Would love to! Stay tuned :)

This was amazing thank you so much
Thank you youtube for showing me this 3 weeks late
this was seriously seriously soo goooodd i mean it truly is the last video i need to watch, dear violi
n girl i can't thank you much
Thank you so much for this video. I don’t have much time left but I really need to improve my grades and this video’s really helped and inspired me. I’ve subscribed. Looking forward to what else you have to show.
If you do Pearson Edexcel history (like me), learning how to structure your answer for each question type is really important! It helps a lot because even if you mind blank and can't remember specific facts, try to follow the formula and you should get at least some marks. I have structures for all question types for Medicine, Cold War, Richard and John, and Russia - if anyone is struggling with structuring their answers for any of these topics, I can let you know what formulas I use!
Good luck everyone - but I'm sure you don't need luck, because you're strong and you can work hard right now to get the grades you deserve! Plus, you're worth so much more than your grades :) don't stress too much xx
Can you please tell me the structure for the questions of russia and cold War if you don't mind :))
tyy
@@bubbxles1843 sure!
For Russia:
Q1 this basically structures the answer for you, all you have to do is fill in the lines!
Q2 - 12 marker "explain why" question. they will give u 2 bullet points in the question which u can use.
so do 3 paragraphs - one about the 1st bullet point, one about the 2nd, then one using your own knowledge. (there's nothing saying you MUST use the bullet points, but they're there to help, so I'd use them if I were you)
each paragraph should IDENTIFY a reason, then DEVELOP with your knowledge, then LINK back to the focus of the question. "one reason for this was..." then insert some facts, then "this led to / caused / meant that" (link it clearly back to the Q)
IDENTIFY, DEVELOP, LINK! don't overthink this question, just 3 short/medium paragraphs, each one explaining a reason
Q3 will ask you to look at two sources and state "how useful" they are. for this question I use JCOP:
J- Judgement. "source A is useful for the enquiry because it shows/suggests/implies..."
C- Content. directly quote the source - "the source says that..." make sure you quote something that is relevant to the point ur trying to make
O- Own knowledge. after quoting the source, say "this is accurate as I know that..." and insert some relevant facts that you know
P- Provenance. this is about how reliable or trustworthy the source is. "the provenance of the source makes it useful because..." for example if it was written by an eyewitness, that makes it more reliable
so in summary for Q3=two JCOP paragraphs, one for each source
Q3b is nice and easy. just state the main difference between the two interpretations - it will probably be made quite obvious for you. try to quote each interpretation briefly
Q3c - this says "suggest one reason the interpretations may differ" - for this one you ALWAYS want to say that they differ because they have used DIFFERENT SOURCES OF INFORMATION. this answer works for every possibility. each interpretation will correspond to one of the sources, either A or B. "the interpretations may differ because they have used different sources. interpretation 1 focuses on ... so may have relied on sources like source A, which says... however, interpretation 2, with its focus on ... may have used sources like source B"
I hope that made sense
Q3d is the 16 marker. DON'T OVERTHINK IT, just because its a longer question u don't need to panic! you can use your "main difference", that you wrote about in Q3b, as the basis of ur 1st paragraph
each paragraph should look something like this: Argument, Knowledge, Other argument, Judgement
step 1: think about what ARGUMENT is being made in the interpretation (always start with the interp they're actually asking u about!!) your first sentence could start something like "interpretation 1 argues that...", I would also include a quote here
step 2: back this up with your KNOWLEDGE. one, maybe two sentences of your knowledge that agree with the argument made in the interpretation
step 3: what does the OTHER interpretation argue? "however / on the other hand, interpretation 1/2 argues that..." this is literally just one sentence stating what the other interp says!
step 4: make a JUDGEMENT. "therefore, we may agree more/less strongly with interpretation 1/2, because.."
this seems like a lot when i type it all out but honestly it's not so bad. INTERP IN QUESTION, KNOWLEDGE, OTHER INTERP, JUDGEMENT. do 3 of these paragraphs - with a very short intro and / or conclusion if you have time - and you'll do fine.
when you're planning your points, look at both interpretations and highlight the key points they're making. try to find 3 and these can then form your 3 paragraphs
I hope this made sense, I can clarify if anything isn't very clear! and if u want me to write any example answers then I can
@@bubbxles1843
For cold war:
Q1 is "explain two consequences"
this is nice and simple, just two short paragraphs
start each one with a clear sentence about what the consequence is. then explain how the event in the question led to this consequence.
for example, I recently did a question "explain two consequences of the Cuban revolution". for my first paragraph I wrote that one consequence was that relations between Cuba and the USA worsened. i talked about how the USA had close ties with Cuba and many Americans owned land and businesses there, but when Castro took over, he nationalised business and industry, which took companies from Americans. this damaged the partnership between the USA and Cuba
also my top tip is that you can talk about increasing or decreasing tensions for pretty much every cold war Q1. consequence of Cuban revolution? increased tension. consequence of Berlin Wall being built? increased tension. consequence of Gorbachev's new thinking - decreased tension.
Q2 - honestly the idea of a narrative account is kind of a weird one, but its not too simple. make sure you've learnt the sequences of events for major crises. for the narrative account you'll want to structure your answer as a beginning, middle and end.
paragraph 1: how did the event start?
paragraph 2: what was the turning point / middle / major crisis of the event?
paragraph 3: what brought the event to an end?
the key thing for this question is to LINK YOUR PARAGRAPHS TOGETHER - by this i just mean phrases like "as a result" "this led to" "consequently" etc - it's important to show how one thing led to another
Q3 is nice because you get a choice. pick the 2 questions that you know the most about. this question is ALWAYS the importance of something on SUPERPOWER RELATIONS. they might rephrase it as "relations between the USA and USSR" or "the development of the cold war" but its always the same idea of relations between america and the ussr.
for each 8 marker here, make 2 or 3 points about how the event impacted relations
by the way for cold war I'd recommend really focusing your revision on consequences of events/crises, sequences of how one thing led to another, and how everything impacted relations. since these are the basis of the exam questions they're probably the best things to focus on in terms of revision
again, i hope i made sense and sorry my replies are so long!!! and again I can explain anything if needed or send model answers
omd tysmmmm ilyy
Way better than how my teacher explained itt
Tyyyy
Thank you sm🙏I’ve been needing to revise for the cold war topic in history for a while but havent gotten around it, also if its not too much of a bother, could you write up an exam answer for medicine?
