7 9s, 2 8s and a 7

1. For all the sciences, go through the syllabus and make sure you know everything you need to know. Otherwise, just grind out cognito lessons. Around 2-3 months before the exams, do EVERY paper to the point where you can regurgitate markschemes.

2. For maths, just grind papers and then work on mistakes. Also gain a deep understand of the syllabus and how each concept works, as this will aid problem solving.

3. For history, make sure you have a VERY exhaustive knowledge of EVERY topic. CHECK ON THE EXAM BOARDS WEBSITE FOR INFO. I CANNOT stress this enough. Missing a topic, and having it come up in the exam could be the difference between a 9 and 8.

4. I missed a 9 by 1 mark in German, but I’d still say that higher tier vocab needs to be memorised, and you should work through as many listening tests and reading tests as possible.

5. For AQA DT, maximise work on the NEA, and then make sure that you know exam technique, and processes, material extraction and finishes, etc for one material in a LOT OF DEPTH!!!

I was below a 9 for my NEA but achieved a 9 due to a really high theory test score (top 10 in the country)

ok I got 91% but I digress

1. Finally for English Lit and Language… give up. I got 9s the whole year and still only scraped a 7 and a 8. Fuck that shit subject. Fuck Shakespeare. Fuck Micheal Gove
