I just wanted to thank you so much! I started watching your videos when you were in year 11 (I was in year 9), you brought me to study KZread and anki, without you I don’t think I would’ve been able to achieve the grades I did (straight 8s and 9s), thank you so much! And I hope life offers you the best opportunities!
It's good to see you back Udoka!!! Some of these tips help greatly with Uni as well! :)
This guy was literally the first guy I saw back when I was failing, and now I got all 7s 8s and 9s. I honestly don't know where I'd be if I never saw his videos.
Udoka, I’m so sorry how harsh everyone is being about u showing your a levels. You worked incredibly hard and soon you will see the results of that, even if you haven’t already 😊

This video was exactly what I needed to see just before I started my after school revision, thanks a lot for making this, it really helped! 🙏🏻
Thx for this :) Good luck on your A levels
Udoka thank you so much i needed this. Finaly aiming for that grade 8 and 9
my english teacher told me i'd be lucky to get a grade 5, time to prove her wrong😈 EDIT: UPDATE!!! Just had my english mock and I smashed it (GNNA GET RESULTS IN 2-3 WEEKS) EDIT: Just got a grade 6 in my mock, was expecting higher tho. want an 8 in the real thing!

Hey udoka. I’m really struggling learning physics would you have any good tips or what you used for physics
Tips are very clear. Im planning on trying to increase my math grade. this is very motivating.
What did u get in your a levels?
Thanks so much. This is has been helping me a lot to study better and progress faster🙂
What would you suggest if I haven't been taught Chemistry for 2 years and have a ton of gaps in my knowledge? What would be the most effective and efficient way to try and learn the content independently?
Your mindset is very inspiring. Btw will you ever release your personal anki cards for GCSE'S?
i might be late so idk if u will reply but if you were ill and missed a day or a couple days of school what would you do to fill those gaps you missed
What did you get for your a levels?
Apart from Imperial which other unis did you apply to for chemistry?
For history, would you mind giving me a few tips for revision? How'd you fornat your notes? I don't know whether to try & think of all the possible questions that could come up & write them that way, or just write in the standard bullet point format.
