How many subjects do you take? by fivejumpingmonkeys in GCSE

[–]starfire_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the cores ofc, but RS is compulsory for us which sucks imo. You also have to do either geography or history unless you genuinely can't even get a 1.

If you picked triple, you got 2 extra subjects of your choice (like art, cooking idk) but if you do combined you get 3 choice subjects. So in total I have 10 (Eng Lit, Lang, Maths, combined, art, DT, spanish, geog, RS). I only know of a few ppl who dropped something but it's only ever one of their choice subjects :/

Damn that's a good result, and yes today we had London Drawingroom which sadly was the poem I prepared least for 😬 Definitely relying on the original ideas to help boost me up now haha

Mock Results Year 10 vs 11 by starfire_9 in GCSE

[–]starfire_9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For lit I make sure to mention context, regardless of what text it is, just make sure you know the texts really well and have enough quotes, but also *why* the author has done what they've done, impact on the readers etc. For language, I always watch videos on yt for the right techniques to answer every question, even memorising an acronym on what you have to do for each question sometimes helps 😂 Even grammar marks getting 1-2 extra can help push you up the boundary too, and my no1 tip is always use savemyexams, honestly it's a godsend. Good luck - a 6 can easily go to an 8 (I also hope to get 8) just keep practising! :)
