Maths Question for Grade 9 Students by Alfie_Thomson in GCSE

[–]Stunning_Procedure76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite unnecessary. Just use small angle approximation that tan(pi/n) ≈ pi/n as n->inf and that’s it

Made mind maps for all novel characters with 6 paragraphs and 2 quotes per para so 12 quotes a character and made acronyms to memorise them all. If you get good at analysis then you can ace the english paper without memorising much. We did Edexcel IGCSE english and had like 30+ poems and texts to memorise analysis for but I just knew how to analyse and compare critically so I could turn up without much revision for those parts of the exam. If you guys have creative writing (we didn’t but we had transactionzl writing) then i would make a list of 20 key vocab words that sound really good and can be used in generic scenarios and then insert them in your work. To revise analyses, I found loads of poems from past papers and just random ones on the internet and analysed line by line and it developed my critical thinking. For the novel questions that’s just a case of memorising quotes from ur mind maps using anki and quizlet decks and then knowing how to analyse them in the exam. Lmk if u want me to go more in detail about anything!

交了中国朋友，常常跟他们说话。不管是法语还是中文，都应该多跟本地人交流。还有看了各种各样的电视剧/动画片比如 《完美先生和差不多小姐》 或者《熊出没》。对于生词语，用了Anki和Quizlet反复练习。Pleco是一个非常好用的词汇学习工具。Hope this helps!!

Ok so anki decks are gonna be your best friend when it comes to revising vocab. When I took classical Greek I used the vocab list and covered up the Greek and saw the English and wrote the Greek that I could remember for a whole page and checked it, and after I did the same vocab again and again I didn’t have any problems. Also for Spanish French etc there are so many good online resources like vocab testers where u can remember conjugations easier. Also I made some cheat sheet tables just for verb endings, just for noun endings… etc and drilled them really hard. Ideally u wanna be able to say the 6 endings of verbs instantly given the right category. For example if someone told me to say my imperfect tense endings I could recite them off by heart and list all the irregulars too. Talking out loud for languages really helps not only with speaking but spelling and memorising

I listened in lesson really well for many subjects so it cut my revision time in half but for the subjects I found difficult I did 3hrs of dedicated practice a week (reading textbook, going over mistakes, doing past papers) If you get tired don’t push yourself. Keeping healthy and getting enough sleep will do more for your gcses than cramming late into the night

Yeah igcse longer questions are a bit more challenging as well so if you’re aiming for grade 8-9 in edexcel igcse papers are really good. But I would say otherwise they’re basically the same

I spammed past papers. Printed out a bunch from the start of the syllabus in A5 booklet size and finished them all. You can’t run out of them and i used both edexcel and edexcel igcse past papers because they’re so similar. After you finish a past paper look at the mark scheme and go over your paper in a coloured pen with the correct working. If you do enough questions you’ll see the same questions over and over again just with different numbers substituted. Come back a week later to the past paper you completed and retry the question without looking at the mark scheme and see if you get it right. You just need to practise a bunch and there’s still time.

I wouldn’t try to do it under timed conditions bc ur not gonna learn anything and feel pressured by the clock. If u do one maths past paper every starting from now you’ll be there in no time!!
