- My predictions for Biology Paper Two last year,
were really, really good.
I was amazed, when I saw the paper, how close they were.
I got the practical right,
I got the big, big question right.
And, I came up with some of these random questions.
The one that threw people,
that they didn't really understand
and I was speaking to teachers
and they've said, sometimes we've got that mock coming up,
I should point them in your direction.
And, it's really easy to see the people
that pay attention to your video
and the people that didn't pay attention to your video.
So, that was a good paper.
My Chemistry papers were really, really good as well.
But, how good are my predictions?
Is it actually worth listening to me?
Is it worth downloading
and doing the predictive papers that I wrote?
These are questions that I get asked a lot,
so, in this video, I'm gonna answer them for you.
("Something Elated" by Broke For Free)
Everywhere I upload you can download predictive papers
for Science, for Geography, and for Maths.
Now, these subjects are all very different,
and the way we do predictions for them is very different.
So, I'm gonna take them subject by subject.
I have been making predictions
for science papers for years
and it started off just, giving them out to my class
and then, when I stared to do Youtube,
how do I make a little video,
predicting what I though was gonna be on,
I think it was tomorrow's exam.
I think I put it up the day before.
And then, I started to get right quite a lot.
And when you've gotta do as many papers,
see as many papers, read as many documents
from the government and the exam boards as I do.
Because, it's basically all I spend my time doing,
is looking at science questions,
looking at science exam papers.
I don't know what it is
but I just start to get feelings about things.
And, I know this is like the least scientific thing ever
but I kinda like, oh, I think that paper's gonna come up
on this year's exam.
And, I'm sure these feelings are based
on how much reading and how much research I do
and if I know what's come up
on last year's exam, I know they have
to cover the specification in a certain amount of time,
we know that 15% has to be practicals,
we know that 10%, 20%, 30% has to be Maths.
It's actually, well it's quite fun doin' predictions
for papers, and then you can sit there
and think about, well last year they asked this,
two years ago they asked this,
but they didn't ask this.
So, that's what I think is going to come up this year.
As we get further and further through this specification,
the predictions are going to get better and better.
And that's the thing with predictions,
especially last year's predictions.
That they are just predictions.
My Biology Paper Two was amazing
and the people that watched my video
and then did that paper had a massive boost
when them went into the exam.
My Chem Three was really, really good as well,
but my Physics, well those papers weren't so good.
But, they're still good revision.
And, that's the thing with predictions,
they are just predictions.
I am not an examiner, I do not have any inside knowledge,
I do not know exactly what is going to be on the exam.
The exams take about 18 months to write.
They get checked, they get triple-checked,
quadruple-checked, I think, I don't know about that.
They go through lots and lots of rounds.
I don't see the exam papers until after you've done them.
I do not know what is going to be on these exam papers.
I can just write predictive papers
and I can make videos based on my research
and what I think is going to come up.
So, while the predictive papers and website
are brilliant revision for you,
because you need to do as much practice papers as you can,
they are not actually going to be the ones
that are on the day.
There are back-up papers
in case the actual papers get leaked
but me predicting papers isn't leaking papers
because I haven't seen the papers.
As hard as I work to make these predictions,
as much thinking and research as I do
before I start making the predictive papers,
I'm never gonna be 100% right
because these are just predictions.
So, it is absolutely vital that you revise everything.
For the Geography papers, I have an amazing friend
who is working on the Geography.
She is going through basically the same process I go
through for Science, Writing, and Geography papers
and they are brilliant.
There's an AQA specific paper and then, because,
don't ask why they do this for Geography,
there were so many other specs.
AQ, Eduqas A, Eduqas B.
Why, Why do you do this?
There's an AQA specific paper on my website
and then is the general one for other exam papers.
And there's a little bit of extra guidance in those papers
to help you wack out which bits you do and you don't need.
So, Maths you do three papers, except OCR who do two.
And, there is such a breadth,
we don't know what topics are gonna pop up on which exam.
But, we basically know, is that everything is going
to come up, so revise everything.
So, just do as many practice questions as you can for Maths.
Just do as many practice questions as you can for Maths.
So, there's lots of Maths papers
for you to download on my website.
These papers shouldn't be your only revision.
You should do the exam papers from the exam boards.
you should do work bit questions.
you should do questions your teachers set you in class.
you should practice six markers.
you should practice graph drawing.
But, they're all good revision,
so, I'm egging for you and good luck guys.
Ouch!
This is why in some videos I have unexplained scratches.
