hello everyone my name is ishaan or ribeshon however you may know me from tiktok or from
youtube or if you're new to the channel welcome before you continue watching please subscribe to
the channel we're so close to 12 000 subscribers and that is a lot on youtube for me trying to get
youtube up but it's not working so it would mean a lot of you guys could subscribe if
you are watching this gcses and a levels are two months away in around 63 days you will be sitting
your very first public exam which is either going to be a gcc or an a-level it might be frightening
um it surely was for me i remember this time last year it was march my room was covered in
posters um with gcse nodes i will put a picture here if i have one and i was basically reading
all of these notes on my wall every single day so that i can remember everything for my exams
but you have two months and now this is what you need to do to secure those top
grades if you haven't looked at your topic list look at it it has everything you need
to know for your exam it's basically got all of the topics that you need to revise
so focus on them and forget about everything else but do you remember that like one markers
can come up on topics that you that aren't on the revision list so just be a bit careful but devote
all if not most of your time to those topics on your revision list because it's going to be worth
it for you in the end the next thing you need to do is please don't worry and it's hard to say this
because everybody's worrying i know i was worrying the time will go so so quickly you don't even
understand like right now you might be putting off revision oh i'll do it tomorrow i'll do it
next week i'll do it maybe three weeks before exams start and when you're at the three week
point when you're at the two week point like a realization a rush of sort of oh my god i have not
done anything i need to do something comes over you and you will get really really stressed out
and um even if you have been revising it's normal to feel that it's it's normal if i felt like that
i was i felt like oh my god i haven't done enough i haven't done enough i haven't done
enough where i knew that i had done enough but if you know you're the person that hasn't done much
to sort of long-term revise you need to start now because you don't want to revise two weeks
before your gcses and sort of cram it all and not be able to remember it because the amount
of exams you have to sit is unbelievable you have to say maybe biology paper one biology paper two
chemistry paper one chemical chemistry paper two so it's not like you can do chemistry on the first
day walk out forget all your chemistry now focus on geography because you still need to
revise your chemistry bio where like for your paper too unless you're doing double signs
please start now if you haven't if you haven't been listening to my other advice about starting
before just start now the past papers i'm going to reiterate this again print out as many past papers
as possible the 2021 2020 20 to 19 2018 2017 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 as far back as you can go and just
start doing that do them all and complete them just skip skip over the topics that you don't need
to do because they won't be in your exam but just make sure you've done as many past papers as you
can because the chances of repeat questions coming up in the paper is really really high because
there's only a certain amount of questions that can they can ask per topic for example osmosis
diffusion active transport what is osmosis what is diffusion what is actual active transport uh
where am i active transport occur things like that they're bound to come up especially with repeat um
repeat exam questions so please please please do those past papers now the next piece of advice
is i'd make flashcards on anki and use quizlet if you prefer quizlet i'd say anki is better
but the next piece of advice is make mind maps because at the moment i'm doing my maps for my
a level marks my like year 12 ones so as but we don't do ais in my school and i'm making
mind maps right now um covering like theories because i need to know quite a few theories
these mind maps are like brain dumping techniques so just brain dump as much stuff as you can
remember on a mind map look at the information on your laptop repeat and just brain dump everything
so you can it helps to actually recall this is like blurting but neater way and like in
a way that you can actually revise from later on before your exams so please please please
do that and ensure that you've made your notes because you don't want to be making
notes now now is not the time to make notes notes should have been made ages ago now it's the time
to revise from your notes to um use active recall and just memorize notes are now over
do not make notes please use anki active recall past papers and those are your those are your
weight those are your methods of revision it might seem like two months is ages away but again
time goes so so quickly it literally in a blink of an eye you're going to be in the
longest summer you've ever had and that summer is going to be amazing it's literally going to be
you're literally going to feel free you're not not going to have to worry about
anything apart from results day and it's just going to be one of the best summers of your life
so look forward to that and make sure you work and motivate yourself on the basis of that summer
you're doing all of this work so you could have an amazing summer with an amazing results day
with your friends maybe going away or somewhere so please think of the summer ahead and work
for that summer instead of lazily just not doing anything i can't be bothered to work
and then going to the exam not knowing anything and then yeah you know where that might end up
um so yeah just stay consistent now because this is now the time to just keep staying consistent
past papers every single day i know it it is a lot but you you do have two months you have 60 days
um so what if you do two past papers a day is that reasonable 120 papers you've done and repeat
so it is just important that you get this done and that you don't stress i'm going to make more
videos like this in terms of what you should do one one month before gcses and um like two weeks
before gccs and a levels it is easter coming up easter holidays are in two weeks i think and this
is the time where you can literally just splurge out all of your revision to as much stuff as you
can you've got so much time on easter i think it's two weeks or three weeks depending on what
school you go to use this time wisely because this time you won't be able to get back and you need
to use it wisely also i'm going to be revising on tick tock if that helps because i've got a s
well a level mocks a yes not as end of year exams coming up as well in at the end of april so i'll
also be helping you revise by also showing me revising um things like that another exciting
thing that i just wanted to mention that's happening in april i'm going to be holding
free crash courses for the main subjects including english sciences um geography potentially in the
rs these crash courses are going to be free to attend some of them will obviously have
will be paid um the ones that are going to be paid are like it's like a first come first pay first
come first serve basis for example so the first 100 people to join a crash course it will be free
and the rest will have to pay two pounds obviously because i still have to pay the tutors i'm not the
one teaching i'm basically hiring a couple of students who are going to deliver these crash
courses so if you guys do want to join these crash courses then um go click the link in my bio and
you can see the crash courses that are available there are also previous crash courses that a few
of the tutors have done already crash courses on macbeth biochem physics specific topics and
you can also buy these from me um i think they're two pounds to four pounds each per per like crash
course which covers three topics and they come with notes a presentation a pdf file and the
like crash course itself with the tutor talking um but those are honestly so helpful if you guys
do want them the link will be in my description below because they have helped so many students
and hopefully they will help you but the free crash courses are so important please make use
of them because they are free the final two things that i just wanted to talk about was one tutoring
and if you guys do need any personal support or one-to-one tutoring then dm me on instagram
revision i'm happy to set you up with a tutor that i know um basically we cover all subjects
ranging from latin psychology sciences english everything um prices are 18 pounds an hour for
gcc and 25 pounds an hour for a level um yeah that's the tutoring out of the way and last of
all i just wanted to talk about the importance of mental health because like exam season is a season
where everybody can feel stressed there's that fear of not doing well there's the fear of like
not impressing everyone um and honestly please it's focus on yourself don't worry about anyone
else i know you've been told this thousands of times but it's you that matters not anyone else
you're the one that matters and you want to do everything at your own best interest don't do what
maybe don't be don't follow your friends or like you do what your parents want you to do um
follow your gut instinct follow your heart and through this exams process please follow your
gut instinct because that's what i did and yeah it was it ended up completely fine but
this moment this the next two three months will basically just go in a blink of a month so
make the most of it and document it i wish i had documented it so like just document
the journey make yourself little vlogs things like that that can help you through the journey
but i hope you guys have enjoyed this video it would mean a lot if you guys could go subscribe to
