Some questions for year 11
I’m in Year 10, moving on to Year 11 soon and I really want to get the best possible outcome from my GCSEs. So I have a couple of questions that I think could help optimise my experience. Please could you take some time to answer them?
What are the intervals for spaced repetition? I know Anki has it integrated, but I also want to know how it works so I can use it when revising without flashcards. For instance, I might need it when choosing what topics to do when blurting. I asked this in a previous post, but is there any other way to track it?
Does blurting work for sciences and history (AQA), and how do you memorise dates?
I have a bad French teacher next year so want to bring something to French so I can still do it while she’s needlessly talking. I was thinking of bringing a list of vocab, but I feel like that’s not the most proficient use of my time. What else could I bring? And how do you learn and remember grammar?
The only way I can contact my best friend is online because she lives abroad. We both decided that we want to call and study together. Are there any ways to optimise this and stop us from getting distracted?
I know past papers is probably the best way to revise. But if I start now would that mean I’ll run out? Should I just save them until the end of the year?
Also, it’s the summer break right now… Since I want all 9s, should I be revising or should I wait until school starts?
Edit: I forgot to ask… Is it better to revise based on ur timetable on school or create your own?
