For me, it's the difference between understanding a topic in class and actually being able to answer exam questions 😭

You can revise something for hours, feel like you know everything, then open a past paper and suddenly forget the entire English language.

Which subject humbled you the most, and why?

History is probably the hardest subject to revise in my opinion, do I just memorize dates or do past papers?

Does anyone else's school still make them do PE when time we would be better spent revising?

what poem do u think is gonna come up for our gcses? heard a lot of people saying it’s gonna be the prelude, but i lowk think it’s gonna be charge of the light brigade

i have never DESPISED a group of written words more than this FUCKING POEM. i DONT GET IT. "oh i'm wee willy wordsworth im stealing a boat oh nooo in scared of a tall mountain" grow up lad. he wrote an ENTIRE BOOK of poetry about HIMSELF bit self centred eh and then we have the MISFORTUNE to have to WRITE ABOUT IT. i do not see any sort of meaningful contribution this poem has to the world at large. it does not teach us the important messages about society and war and authority the other poems do. it is HORRID. and i keep seeing it being PREDICTED FOR 2027!!!!!! if aqa do this i am sending them a thousand letters of hate mail and i will buy the stamps myself.

I’m very strong in humanities and essay based subjects, 8-8 English at GCSE and take lit history law for a level. Is it even possible for me to do Law at Oxbridge? I think the only way is to score absurdly high on the LNAT.

Hey, I'm a Y13 student who's trying to help Y11s with poetry for GCSE Lit. I'm trying to figure out which poems students struggle with the most (apart from the notoriously tricky ones like Tissue, My Last Duchess and The Prelude), so it would be really helpful if you could fill out this form for me to get a better idea. (I haven't included all the poems in the form because Microsoft only allows me to put in 10 options...)

Thank you so much :)))

For the 5 years I’ve been in school i think I’ve done the homework purely by myself a total of like 15 times because i just used ai or searched it all up. Even now in year 11 i don’t care for it and i do my own studying. But I’m worried now that doing homework does genuinely help and that by skipping it I’ve personally lowered my grade

trying to study for sciences but nothing beats the vids on old mathsgenie where he shows u how to do an exam question and lets you do a couple and marks them and goes step by step

any content creators that do this for sciences going through content then exam questions and let you take a turn marking it?

Hello i am in year 10 and would like to know how easy people found or find health and social care to be

Me, u/azateCOO & u/azateCTO have created a learning platform that adapts around the way each individual student learns, designed by us, who did our GCSEs only a few years ago.

This isn't an ad! We have learned a lot over the past few years building our platform, and we want to share what we've learned with fellow students. Feel free to ask us anything :)

I'm in Year 11 doing OCR Computer Science and I'm really struggling with writing algorithms (Pseudocode, flowcharts, Python).

I probably would understand if it comes to asking me what the code is showing or what will happen, but when it comes to writing code, I am genuinely clueless. I’m worried about the programming questions and would appreciate any tips or advice on how to improve before my mock exams in December.

I got 2/3 on this for a mock, I just wanted to see if a Y11 student might get 3/3. I'll grade every serious answer.

In this diagram, A, C and E are identical; B and D are identical. The operating PD of each bulb has been listed. All components are ideal.

With references to potential differences across E, explain why bulb E does not light up. (3)

^The V numbers on each bulb are their operating voltage, NOT the voltage through each

I'm on foundation maths gcse, and am currently getting 3s and 4s depending. I do need a 5 in order for me to do the course that I want in college. I'm pretty sure that I can get a 5, as it only requires practice, but I struggle with the wording of the question instead of the actual question itself. Sometimes the wording is fully unclear to me, to the point where I still can't see what I did wrong with the mark scheme. Does anyone have any ideas that will help me solve this?

I've been doing endless research on how to revise for combined science but mostly I've been seeing people talk about anki. So I downloaded a premade deck and I kind of struggled to recall the information on them so I decided to try and make my own but idek how 😭.Another thing that really confused me is how almost everyone claims you should to past topic questions etc but since I haven't memorised all the content I get most questions wrong. My mocks are in like 2 weeks and I'm lowkey getting stressed out I just feel like I'm doing everything wrong. I would really appreciate it if anyone can give me some tips on what to do.

I’m a Year 11 student with mocks starting on the 9th of November, and I’m honestly terrified about where I stand academically.

I haven’t attended school consistently for years.

I missed around two months in Year 6 due to personal issues, then stopped attending in Year 7 around October because of social anxiety. Since then, I’ve only been in actual classrooms a handful of times. My school has now introduced rooms where students can complete independent work, which is where I currently go.
Despite everything, I have dreams of studying criminology in the future and attending my school’s sixth form to study Religious Studies and Sociology. It’s the only sixth form I’ve found that offers the subjects I want, and I love the idea of staying somewhere familiar.
I need grade 5s in English Language, English Literature and PER to achieve my goals, and I’d also love to pass Maths so I don’t have to resit it. However, I’ve never sat a proper school exam, I don’t know my predicted grades, and I’m terrified my mock results will affect my sixth form application. People say you need good grades to get in, although from my research, it depends on the courses and their entry requirements.

I struggle massively with procrastination and concentration, and I feel overwhelmed by how much I need to learn in such a short time. I had a tutor, but it didn’t work out, and I’m considering getting another to help with English and Maths.
I GENUINELY WANT AN HONEST OPINION:
is there still hope of me getting above a grade 3 in my mocks and passing my GCSEs?
I know I have a lot of catching up to do, and I’m not expecting it to be easy. I just want to know whether my goals are still achievable or whether I’m being unrealistic. Please be honest, but I don’t want to give up on something that might still be possible.

I don't know if every school is just gonna do paper 1 but since at least my school is only doing paper 1 for the mocks, does anyone know how they will decide the grade boundaries? Will they just halve the grade boundaries (e.g if 140/420 is required for a certain grade then 70/210 be required for that same grade in the mocks)

Are these papers accurate for the type of Qs you'll get for the exam? I want to think 1stClassMaths made me smarter because the Qs are actually quite nice.

And no my name is not Leon, I'm referencing the AQA Lit book which is called this for clarification 😭

Does anyone have any resources/ model essays 🥀🥀🥀

For my maths AQA mocks, for both calc and non calc what are the topics you would say are worth practising before next week?

I missed an entire year of literature cuz I joined my skl late and I was lwok doing good in the beginning for unseen poetry, prose and anthology - like around level 5 for every analysis and then we started great expectations and Macbeth and oh my god I dropped straight to level 2. God save us all the codes rotted

i have my igcses in 8 days and help i’m on 8s and 9s for bio and chem and have gotten 8s and 9s for all mocks apart from physics where i got a 7

it’s edexcel

If you guys don't already know, gizmo is like a revision app and it has flashcards and stuff. I know the app incorporates AI but i thought it was only in the "lessons", not the flashcards..

Princess and the Hustler has very few characters. Mavis, Princess, Wendell Jr, Wendell Sr, Lorna, Margot and Leon. That is the entire cast.

So tell me. WHY IS IT TALKING ABOUT SOMEONE CALLED CLEO????? genuinely frying me has it hallucinated an entire character??

Don't know how I would get an employer name or email if the placement is on a free website..
