In my school, we take “blurting” very seriously but we actually call it “retrieval practice”. when you write everything down that you know without your notes, essentially you are retrieving the information from your short term memory into your long term memory. it’s a very effective revision strategy and I’m glad you mentioned it. also, thank you so much for the amazing tips! loved the video:)

1. Understand the question+ what it requires of you. 2. Stay away from taught structures such as P.E.E. Let you analysis include lexical fields, symbolic meaning, literal meaning, words + connotations and ALWAYS a language device. 3. Make a unique, out of the box point.

My biggest challenge with English is time. I usually get full marks on the questions I answer but I always run out of time with at least one whole question left unanswered. Tbh idk what to do anymore. My target is a 9 but I don’t see that happening with this obstacle.

As I said in the video, you need to give yourself time restraints. Once you finish this time, finish the sentence and move on. It's better to at least get some marks on a question rather than 0 - that reduces your chances of getting a grade 9 drastically.

Had to split this up into parts: part 1 :) I’m taking RE and I've gotten an 8- or an 8 on every mock and assessment so far. There are certain ways to structure your paragraphs which will ensure you have given enough info to get all the marks. First there is PEPE which is Point - Explain - Point - Explain and it is for the 4 mark question, basically you make a point and then back it up with an explanation, its best to include a religious teaching or an attitude in the explanation as it makes it flow better. And you repeat this once so your answer looks like, Point - Explain - Point - Explain, but make sure the second point is quite different from the first. e.g "Give 2 contrasting Christian viewpoint on abortion" P - [Some Christians would be against abortion because once of the ten commandments is "Do not kill"] E - [As abortion is the termination of the foetus it can be seen as murder and would go against "Do not kill"] P - [Some Christians would be accepting of abortion if the pregnancy endangers the health of the mother] E - [Pregnancy can occasionally lead to the death of the woman, as Christians believe God loves all individuals, abortion may be considered to spare god from the suffering]
