tips for gcses

revision-wise do what works best for YOU. teachers might be asking you to do practice questions, and your friends may be making 100s of flashcards, but if doing a simple mindmap helps you more than anything else, do that. i always felt like i wasnt revising enough but still did well

look at the structure for prev exams to know what to expect. this will help your revision and what to expect long answers on so you can revise it more

youtube videos are a massive help!! i recommend waking up 30 mins early to watch some youtube videos about some topics youre still unsure on the morning of the exam

dont be discouraged if you think you've done bad!! i told my teacher at the end of every paper we did that ive done awful, found it insanely difficult and for her to lower her expectations and i ended up getting an 8!!

how to be productive if you're really not

sit in a quiet space where other people are working. whether you like the environment or not, force yourself into it

listen to lofi!!! i hate doing this at home, i find it useless, but if youre in a silent room lofi and studying hits different

start off with a piece of homework, or some work you have to complete.

after you finish that, you'll be in the productive mood, personally i go on my college's website and make notes on articles they recommend reading :)

english lit gcse tips!!

for poetry anthology use genius lyrics!! then remember 2/3 quotes and analysis from each poem

(also for poetry harder poems like tissue wont be used as its an open tier paper)

physics and maths tutor is your new best friend!! theres so much info which can be super overwhelming but theres loads of things on there that your teachers haven't thought of

i created paragraph plans (8-10 per book) using physics and maths tutor which, when in an exam, you just pick out the paragraphs that fit the question. remember its super easy to link things to eachother!!! if a question is on macbeths ambition you can link it to other (possibly more revised) themes like witchcraft etc

GCSE geography revision: river landforms

(from a grade 9 student)

plunge pool: a plunge pool is formed when water flows over a bend of hard and soft rock. as a result, the softer rock is eroded at a faster rate by hydraulic action. this means that the hard rock becomes an overhang and colapses. as a result of abrasion from the collapsed rock and further hydraulic action, a plunge pool is created.

v shaped valley: the force of the water from the river is directed downwards. the vertical erosion cuts into the river bed. the river cuts a narrow valley with steep v-shaped sides. the flow of the water also swings from side to side, creating some sideways erosion. overtime, this means that the v shaped valley is cut into the hillside.

waterfall and gorges waterfalls occur when the river channel crosses from one rock type to another. if the rate of erosion of each rock type is different, then a waterfall is formed. gorges are when below each waterfall. there is a narrow valley with (almost) vertical sides. retreat creates this, and this happens when the overhang drops into the plunge pool, and attrition & abrasion erodes it for the back until overhang continues dropping and the process continues.

floodplains and meanders rivers water tends to swing from side to side, which causes lateral erosion. this erosion could be hydraulic action, and it causes meanders within the river. A flood plain is a flat area beside a river that gets flooded.
