I binge watched a lot of your videos before my February Year 11 mocks and went from 7s in science, maths and 6s in english to 9-9 in science, 8 in english and 8 in maths! Your tips really work and I thank you so much. I still use your revision timetable and have used it to plan everything I do until my exams! Thank you!

Hey guys, glad you found this video style useful and there will be more videos like this! Comment down below for what subject you'd like me to do! Also, as some of you noticed, I made an unfortunate mistake for the graph question (so ironic), since its photosynthesis it will have to be a *curved* line of best fit (due to the denaturing of enzymes)! This shows that everyone can make a mistake and thank you for catching me out on it - future grade 9 students in the making LOL

The graph question is incorrect, the line of best fit should be curved because the rate of photosynthesis first increases, then decreases
YOU ACTUALLY SAVED MY EXAMS 😍😍😍
wouldn't the line of best fit in the last question be a curve? because the points are clearly curved and typically the graph for rate of photosynthesis and temperature is a curved line not straight.

@@loco5594 It was a while ago now so I can't remember exactly, but I got a 9 in my actual exam! My tip would be to use the mark scheme effectively when going back over a test, and note how the examiner marks the question, because each type of question will have a style of marking to go with it, and so once you start to recognise these then you can think about what the mark scheme is asking for here. Also Cognito is just the best at everything!
Hey thank you so much for the video cause I found it really helpful. But I have a question about the graph don't you connect the points together to make a curved line as the line graph doesn't go through any point?
really useful 👍

With the graph question at the end, is it possible for the line of best fit to be curved dependent on the question?

I’ve always been taught to draw them curved with those kinds of values on a graph so I’d assume it’s meant to be curved? I think it’s only in maths where lines of best fit have to be straight.
