Exam Studying group 2016 (Students and 'Teachers' Wanted)

[Kurai Assassin]

OK so Exams start...Tomorrow and I guessed that many people would like to get a bit more revision done now that we have started. So for each GCSE Subject I (or anyone that has passed a certain subject) will create a Skype group for the different Exams and their exam boards. The only one I wont cover is RE paper 1 as that's tomorrow

Here's the list of Exams that I will probably help to revise.

Hider

RE paper 2 WJEC
History AQA
Drama WJEC
Maths (AQA Foundation and overlap questions)
Chemistry AQA
Biology AQA
Spanish Foundation AQA

Those are the exams I am taking (Minus English cause I'm really not good enough to teach that and most of the English language paper is skills not teachable things) So ill probably do those. if your interested in joining any of these PM me and ill add you to the Skype group and ill do my revision sessions for the group not the night before the exam but the night before that. If anyone has any extensive knowledge or has passed their GCSEs in any topics I haven't mentioned PM me and ill add you to a teaching group chat so we can coordinate what needs to be taught. I think this is a great idea and id like others to get behind me to help a lot of kids that may be going through the hardest 5-6 weeks of their lives right now.

I can tutor biology, math, physics, and chemistry definitely. Also can help with English possibly, but no promises. (Also I'm American so forgive me for my ignorance, we do our exams in a very, very different system.)

I don't have Skype, but if anyone wants help just shoot me a PM and we'll work something out. Or just add me on Google Hangouts (email is on my profile) and we'll make that work.

[Cyndyr]

I know a thing or two about highschool Chemistry, but that's about it.

[Kurai Assassin]

Anyone know how to do a discord cause we can use that

[Frettzo]

What do the AQAs and WJECs stand for? We don't have those in my country.

[RomanAria]

I'll try to prettify the discord later, but at least it exists, for now.

Here: discord.gg/010whqMZCBdBzHkZz

[Kurai Assassin]

@Frettzo they are different exam boards. So you may do your maths exam for AQA Edexcel or OCR

I could try this out seeing as I hope to be an actual teacher one day but the only subject I feel comfortable teach is history. I'll admit that there are some histories I'm not as well versed in and not quite sure how to tutor it per say, but I'm open to helping people if they need it! ^^;

[Kurai Assassin]

ok If you wanna join the discord ill get Aria to add you to the Tutor chat area so we can sort some stuff out @ClocktowerEchos

Now that we are in our week of nothingness when it comes to exams, this would probably be a good time to regroup and get revising (at least a little bit) for the next batch next week. I have GCSEs in the following subjects, in the following order (after-action reports will be added when each is done):

• 16/05/2016 - Edexcel Religious Studies Unit 1 (Religion and Life) Higher Tier This was an absolute piss-take
• 17/05/2016 - AQA Biology (Triple Award) Unit 1 Higher Tier This was... well, I'll let Hitler explain this one: youtube.com/watch?v=s0b841aq1UA
• 18/05/2016 - Edexcel Religious Studies Unit 2 (Religion and Society) Higher Tier Slightly less of a piss-take, but a piss-take nonetheless
• 19/05/2016 - AQA Chemistry (Triple Award) Unit 1 Higher Tier Fun, in an intellectual sort of way
• 20/05/2016 - AQA Spanish Unit 2 (Reading Comprehension) Higher Tier Piss-take.
• 20/05/2016 - AQA Spanish Unit 1 (Listening Comprehension) Higher Tier Piss-take.
• 23/05/2016 - AQA English Literature Unit 1 (Literature) Higher Tier Not all that much fun. I lost track of my writing and ended up writing a completely off-topic response to the question
• 25/05/2016 - AQA Physics (Triple Award) Unit 1 Higher Tier Hard(er). At least maths has the decency to tell you in no uncertain terms exactly what it is you must do- Physics likes to disguise that beneath a layer of bafflement
• 26/05/2016 - Edexcel Mathematics A (Linear) Higher Tier (Non-Calculator) Meh. I just hope the grade boundaries are low on this one- judging by the whining, I think they will be
• 27/05/2016 - AQA English Literature Unit 2 (Poetry) Higher Tier This was fun. I got really engrossed in question 1, wrote 6 pages in my tiny handwriting, and then had only 10 minutes to do question 2. But it was Wilfred Owen, so I could cover the basic points in that time
• 06/06/2016 - Edexcel History Unit 1 (International Relations 1943-1991) Higher Tier
• 07/06/2016 - AQA English Language (Language Analysis and Creative Writing) Higher Tier
• 08/06/2016 - AQA Computer Science Higher Tier
• 09/06/2016 - Edexcel Mathematics A (Linear) Higher Tier (Calculator)
• 10/06/2016 - AQA Biology (Triple Award) Unit 3 Higher Tier
• 10/06/2016 - AQA Biology (Triple Award) Unit 2 Higher Tier
• 14/06/2016 - Edexcel History Unit 2 (Germany 1918-1939) Higher Tier
• 15/06/2016 - AQA Chemistry (Triple Award) Unit 3 Higher Tier
• 15/06/2016 - AQA Chemistry (Triple Award) Unit 2 Higher Tier
• 17/06/2016 - AQA Physics (Triple Award) Unit 3 Higher Tier
• 17/06/2016 - AQA Physics (Triple Award) Unit 2 Higher Tier
• 21/06/2016 - Edexcel History Unit 3 (War and the Transformation of British Society c. 1931-1951)

Followed by an early summer holiday. I feel confident enough to "teach" in pretty much all of these subjects, so if any fellow GCSE students have questions, please feel free to PM me.

I currently study mathematics and history in college, and have been tutoring humanities-related subjects (literature/writing, history, philosophy, etc) for ~5 years. Could help, there. But eh.

[Jotunn Draugr]

I work as an English teacher at a private school in British Columbia, Canada. If you have any grammar questions, I can help.
