If you are a GCSE or an A-level student in 2021, chances are that you know that the exams have been
canceled, and the teacher's assessments have been taken over, but what are some of the things that
you can do as a student to boost your chances to get that grade 9 in your teacher's assessment,
whatever subject it might be, if you're interested to find out the top five things that are really,
REALLY, important for you to do right now to make sure that you get grade 9 in your
teacher's assessments, then please keep watching this video till the end. Now, I know that all
of you have very limited time, which is why I'm going to be starting with the tips straight away.
The first step is making sure that you know all the topics that your teachers want you to learn,
and revise, and study, and memorize whatever that might be, you want to make sure that you know
all those topics by heart, and you're focusing on those topics only. This is very important because,
here and you're not trying to impress your examiner by knowing so much about your
knowledge about the topics that you may have not even learned, and you just forcefully try to
put in the answer, this is not what the teacher's assessment, it is all about it's making sure that
you know exactly what topics are actually going to be coming up in your test, and whatever tests,
and how many tests are going to be coming up in the future, you want to make sure that you're
prepared by learning all those topics that you have been given by the teacher and stick to those,
and not trying to you know focus on those topics that you know are not going to be coming up anyway
because, this is not a GCSE exam, or an A-Level exam anymore. This is a teacher's assessment,
so there are certain topics that some schools may have learned, and some schools may have
not learned, which is why these tests are going to be customized to your school, so make sure
that you know the topics that your teachers want you to learn. Tip number two is making sure that
you're attending all lessons, and revision clubs, and study clubs, in lunchtime, or after school
religiously, because your teachers are going to be your examiner, so you want to make sure that you
are exposed to your teachers' explanations, and classes as much as possible, so that in that way,
they can give you hints here and there that you know this topic is going to be coming up,
that topic is going to be coming up, you should memorize only this you should not memorize this,
so they will give you hints and you want to make sure that if you are attending as many lessons as
possible, only then you will be able to know what to actually learn, and what to actually not learn,
and since this teacher's assessment in a good way, it's actually a good thing, because then you can
be close to your teacher as much as possible, in that way, they will give you as many hints
as possible, that's how it works I believe, so yes, you want to make sure that you're attending
as many lessons as possible in your school, and even if you have a mitigating circumstance,
and you can't really attend, then you let your teacher know as soon as possible, because in
that way, they will not mark you down, or anything like that, because they would think
that you're just being absent for no reason, so you want to have as much as proof as possible,
in that way, it's not going to be affecting your grades at all. Tip number three is a no-brainer,
but it's something that not all students are willing to do, and that is to complete and study
all your homeworks every single day, and this is very important because some of the homeworks that
your teachers are going to be providing with you at this time, they will come up in the exam for
sure, because they're preparing you, to make sure that you know you can do your tests really well,
so completing those homeworks and studying every day is very crucial for any GCSE,
or an A-level student right now, because in that way, you're going to be preparing
yourself for all those tests, and all those questions that might be coming up in the exam,
and in a way, homeworks are a really good way to also test yourself, and test your knowledge on how
much you know about a topic so, in that way, if you don't know much about a topic, then you know
exactly right now how to work things out, and how to really understand it, or you can seek help from
someone like your teacher, or your classmates, or a study buddy, or anything like that, so you want
to make sure that you're completing all homework, so in that way, you're prepared first of all,
and second of all, you know exactly which topics you're weak at, and how you can work things out.
Tip number four is making sure that you're practicing, practicing and practicing,
this is very important especially because, you know that the exams are going to be canceled,
and they're all canceling everything, it doesn't mean that you cannot use past papers to practice,
and get yourself familiarized with their possible teachers' assessment tests, and how they're going
to be looking like, because there are chances that the teachers' assessments will be looking
like past papers, and they're going to be taking out some questions from previous past papers,
and trying to put them in the test, so you want to make sure they're familiarizing yourself with past
papers as much as possible, in that way, you're going to be getting yourself familiarized, and in
that way, you know exactly what to expect in the exam, and you're not going to be shocked thinking
that "Oh my God! I've never seen this kind of a question before..." or something like that,
or how the structure of questions are going to be, and how many marks each of them hold,
so you want to make sure that you're still practicing your past papers every single
time you're actually doing a revision session with any kind of subject that you might be,
and I believe that, practicing with past papers is the best way to actually get that grade 9 in
any kind of tests in your life, so you want to make sure that you're practicing, practicing,
and practicing. Tip number five is very important for any student, who is especially shy and like
me, and that's to make sure that you do not be afraid to ask for help from teachers, and as
well as showing your work online, or even meeting them up in school time. This is very important,
especially for someone who is very shy like me, I feel like that, if I was a GCSE student right now,
or an A-Level student right now, I would definitely make sure that I'm getting help as
much as possible from my teachers, and building up a good relationship, even though it might be very
uncomfortable for me to really do that inside, because I believe that, these people are going
to be your markers, and you want to make sure that you're as much as close to them as possible,
as I mentioned before in tip number one, so even if you're a shy person like myself, and you feel
like "Oh my God! I don't really want to talk to teachers, and I feel really awkward and icky about
them..."then you want to make sure that you're avoiding that as much as possible for the next few
weeks at least and try to get that out of the way, and just start seeking help from anyone, and doing
and showing your work to everyone, whoever you can, to show that you're really serious
about your work, and how much independent work you're actually doing at home, in that way,
this would definitely impress your teachers, and they'll definitely take that into account,
and they will definitely boost your marks as well. This brings me to the end of today's video.
I hope you really enjoyed and found this really helpful, and how to really get that 9 and A*s in
all teachers' assessments, or GCSE and A-level exams, especially for GCSE and A-level students.
