Holidays are coming to an end and we are all expected to work hard for the new academic year. Why not?
In which case, I thought it'd be a fantastic idea to approach all the to-be GCSE students and tell them...Don't worry, work hard and remember that all success is from Allah the All Mighty so if at any point you don't achieve the grade you have worked hard for, never give up...I didn't. Allah ALWAYS has something better instore for you.
Every year at school I failed until I sat my GCSEs and proved I COULD do it. And how did I do it? I remembered Allah and did all I could do, leaving all else in His Hands. I passed!
I am in college now, well, I will be A2 after the holidays. So, if anyone needs any advise or any help with their coursework mark schemes. i AM more than WILLING to help. Just PM me if you feel you want to keep it private.
Otherwise, keep your head up high, don't waste your time and work through those books like there is no tomorrow. I can assure you, learning can be so fun once you put your heart into it, because it is then...that you pass and feel you have achieved!
Enjoy the rest of your holidays and like I said, if you have any queries - feel free to ask!
Yh same here I got 3 Modules in about 2 weeks or so and i still aint revised anything.

this biomass thingamajig and that food web and all that...not to mention the speed/time/dstace graphs, braking/stopping distace....they just do my head in

use the triangle...that's like 3 in 1 and kinda easier to remember...but then again you could use logic...as in why does work = force x mass...and that would be easier to remember...and when asked for mass for a given force and work done, then you could calculate by re-thingying the equation...that's kinda easy...well it seems easy when am explaining...but when i got the paper in front i go all cross eyes
how about listing all the formulae as a brainstorm kind of thing here so that it would be a sort of help i think
Lol.. when you go back to school, as your teacher if you could have the syllabus for your subject. and just learn that off by heart.
secondly, do lotsssssssssssss and lots of past papers. We used to revise off them in school and man do they help a lot or what! Sometimes you just get a copy of a past question and that happened in 2 of my papers!
formulae... just learn them and remember when you need to use them. It might help remembering them if you practise on them.
If you don't understand anything, just give a shout.
As part of the test, I am required to know the Physics formulae at GCSE level - so I have listed all the formulae I could gather below.
Please let me know if I have missed any:
Pressure = Force / Area
Power = Voltage x Current
Voltage = Current x Resistance
Energy Transferred = Power x Time
Cost of Electricity = Units of Electricity x Price Per Unit
Force = Mass x Acceleration
Weight = Mass x Gravity (9.81 N/kg)
Speed = Distance / Time
Velocity = Displacement / Time
Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time
Moment = Force x Distance
Kinetic Energy = 0.5 x Mass x Velocity^2
Gravitational Potential Energy = Mass x Gravity (9.81 N/kg) x Height
Work Done = Force x Distance
Power = Work Done / Time
Frequency = 1 / (Time-Period of 1 Oscillation of Wave)
Velocity of a Wave = Frequency x Wavelength
Efficiency = (Work Done / Useful Energy Out) / Total Energy In
Charge = Current x Time
Energy Transferred = Voltage x Charge
Voltage Across Primary Coil        0;         ;Number of Turns on Primary Coil
________________________    =    _____________________________
Voltage Across Secondary Coil        0;   Number of Turns on Secondary Coil
 
and if you could also explain this potential energy and gravitational potential energy...i mean whats the difference ...and is there a different formula for potential energy?
the " 0.5 x " part means: " half times.. " , or " 1/2 times.. ". I just wrote the half (1/2) as '0.5' because I thought it was convenient to do so.
I think 'Potential Energy' and 'Gravitational Potential Energy' (GPE) are both referring to the same thing at GCSE level (GPE is a type of Potential Energy), though there are apparently also other types of 'Potential Energy' (not relevant to GCSE).
Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy something gains / has stored in it, when it is 'lifted up' / due to its height above the earth's surface.
eg. if a goat of 80 kg is lifted by 5 metres above the ground by a crane, its gain in GPE would be:
thanks ....and erm... if you could tell me what happens at that BMAT test...cause like i was thinking..that i will have to do it if i go into medicine (aiming for imperial college insha'allah )..i know its a long way still..but then again 3 years isnt too long...so if you could jus t tell me what its about AFTER you've done the test, it'd be great
Well I'm doing work experience right this minute...(I'm in a computer company! Wohooo) So..I don't have my books with me, however I would like some help on french!
There is no real easy way to remeber I'm afraid BUT the way I learnt was to do a lot of practice sentences.
And don't do it all together. So first learn the present tense and then when you know that, then move onto the past tenses and so on.
If you try and cram it (I'm sure you've not got a little head ) then you'll get them mixed up.
I'll try and email you the notes that I used, but it'll have to be in a few days time. But I know it's hard unless you have a gift, I didnt so I had to work for the grade.
salam sister,
jazakullah for you info
i am currentlt revising for my gcse mock exams that i will take in december
i don't know a proper way to revise
is it ok if anyone could tell me how i could revise which would be very useful for me
