GCSE MOCKS Revision Guide | How to Ace Mocks (No Nonsense Guide)

[@LilacMorelli]

Just got accused of cheating on my triple chemistry exam for getting 98/100. Built different💪. Cannot do English language for the life of me though

[@DylanBoateng]

Well Done 👍🏾 I will be making a Video on English Language in the near future

[@Salma-z7i1n]

How did you revise

[@MrDavey]

I've got a bunch of English Language videos if you need them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/morJdmOmlseAeqs

[@Sinedits555]

Thank you so much for this!!! I just had my first set of year 11 mock exams in November it had been hard to revise but when I watched this video and understood the tips I tried all of them and they worked thank you so much for these tips 🎉 I subscribed

[@DylanBoateng]

Glad they worked 🙏🏾

[@arrianaa4052]

Struggling so bad with maths as I’m top set for sciences and English but set 4 for maths, this is something I didn’t know how to improve but I will use ur tips and update after my results. Thank you so much

[@arrianaa4052]

Just subscribed as well God bless!!

[@DylanBoateng]

You definitely have time to sharpen up on maths and achieve your desired grade 🙏🏾

[@adorahme2]

Would love to see your 40/40 for English!

[@DylanBoateng]

Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏾

[@believe8807]

Thanks alot mate i have my mocks tmmrow these tips are really useful I'll update my results!

[@MeghaMadhu-dd3mj]

how'd it go, mine starts next week

[@Eli-f3l]

This is great video, expect for the ai section. Using ai is terrible. It's basically what you said for the highliters and re-reading notes, you're not learning it's passive, It's lazy, ai is bad for the environment along with how are you going to do ace a mock If you have an ai generate something that's not always reliable.

[@DylanBoateng]

Yes I totally understand this viewpoint because it limits your own creativity - although, I do believe AI has a place within education but shouldn’t be misused

[@qingqingfu-r8t]

i so agreee with your tips!I found using the specification meant i knew everything i needed to know and all those other websites are super useful!👍

[@merryjerry7227]

The specification point is one I have never really looked at. But the way you explain the purpose of it has completely changed my mind. Seriously Dylan, thank you. keep helping people man!

[@Skeptoff123]

Yo nice vid can you pls help me with 2 things : 1. maths I have bad problem-solving skills how do you recommend that I fix it (I've done practice questions on topics didn't help) 2. Science how do u recommend i get better at specifically biology because i struggle with the exam questions

[@DylanBoateng]

1. For GCSE most of the time the tricks that the exam boards use are similar so I recommend watching videos of tricky questions then memorising how they word the problem solving questions so you know what to do each time - although I still believe more question will improve your problem solving 2. Yes for biology unfortunately it is largely memorisation so first using active recall and spaced repetition to memorise then applying to questions should help you improve 👍🏾

[@starnightzz9254]

When writing a story or essay using past papers from pmt , how am i supposed to mark it because the mark scheme is very confusing to use ? Also thank you soo much for these tips!!

[@cece5203]

Of your exam board is aqa you can find them on there

[@DylanBoateng]

My best advice would be asking teachers in your English department to mark them because it is quite hard to mark accurately and the mark schemes are not good for English

[@ImMyDevotion]

Thank you, your videos are very helpful, but I have a doubt, what do you mean by creating adaptable essay plans for English and how do you do that?

[@DylanBoateng]

Basically, when I planned my essays I made paragraphs that answered the question but used quotes and analysis that I would easily twist to answer another question - more will be explained in a video specifically about English lit

I have 2 weeks until my mocks and do u think i can acheive a grade 5 or higher in combined science if i constantly revise beacuse for my year 10 mocks i did so bad and got a 3-3

[@DylanBoateng]

Yes definitely- through videos to understand content then flashcards and exam questions - you can definitely improve in time

[@JasonWong-m3c]

Hi, what do you mean by adaptable essay theme plan (and can u give some example)? Thx

[@DylanBoateng]

Essentially in your plans you should use quotes and analysis that are transferable for many essays - I will shed more light on this in the English Video

[@DylanBoateng]

For English Lit I created essay plans that were very adaptable for themes that hadn’t come up yet (I will address this more in the ‘How to get a 9 in video’ - I did the same for Poetry and for unseen I practiced spotting literary device and analysis on the spot - I will share more in a specific English lit video 🙏🏾

[@kenzo-c6e7x]

is there a recommened structure for english literature i mean especially for the modern text and shakespeare part

[@DylanBoateng]

Yes I did have a structure that I used following an acronym that I will show in the English Literature video coming up

[@s_bm16]

could you give some advice for people who didnt pay much attention in year 10, because im pretty much learning all my content rn in year 11, my mocks are in december, im basically learning everything by myself but i dont know what i need to learn and how to learn it also if you could give more tips for math im at a grade 5 rn but i wanna get a 7 maybe ☺

[@DylanBoateng]

So I think first focus on learning all the content through videos for science and for English summaries on KZbin - if you don’t know what to learn a good place to start for science is PMT as it has a list of all topics covered - for maths I think you should do a past paper to see where you are definitely at - then when you get a question wrong - cover multiple of them on maths genie till you have that topic covered - then do this for all the topics you get wrong - then attempt another paper and repeat - there is still plenty of time tho 🙏🏾

Would you say digital flashcards are better than physical flashcards?

[@Paradox-f7y]

in my opinion digital flashcards are better for on the go, however once my school banned phones I made physical flashcards so i could use them even in school. Generally I believe digital ones are better but honestly its just preference!

[@DylanBoateng]

I think digital are better like Anki and Quizlet

[@DarkSlicer21]

For English lit we have 1 poem left to do but we did anthology over a long period of time last year in year 10 since the start we forgotten many poems. We also did 1 poem a week for 2-3 weeks. We have done no practice of unseen poetry and comparison we just learnt each poem separately. I’m definitely not ready for the poetry part of lit paper 2. Do u have any tips

[@DylanBoateng]

Ye I would say definitely do some learning out side of school - include learning which themes you can apply and analyse across many different poems - to practice comparative analysis (I will include this in and English literature video) - Go over these plans every once in a while before you begin revising more seriously later in the year

[@Ru799]
