when doing past papers should i do mock ones?(im starting yr10) or real gcse ones? i can only find real gcse ones not mock ones so if u could tell me a website to get mock past papers from plss? thanks

As you are going into Year 10 you are going to be doing the 9-1 specification in Maths, English, Science and maybe other subjects.

MATHS - even if you are doing 9-1 you should do the A*- G past papers as the most content will still be covered

For 9-1 mock papers click here (your school might be using these internal exams later on)

For A*- G past papers HIGHER here FOUNDATION here

SCIENCE

For 9-1 mock papers click here

You should also look on your exam board’s website for A*- G past papers.

OCR CORE click here OCR ADDITIONAL click here

ENGLISH

What she says: i'm fine.

What she means: who at Hogwarts decided not to put in standards for Quidditch broomsticks?? the whole Slytherin team has the new Nimbus model thanks to Draco's rich dad, and the fact that a competitive game--sorry, SPORT--can come down to who has the better funding and equipment is just rancorous. Dumbledore wouldn't stand for such unfairness, would he? not even talented Beaters like Fred and George could keep up with Slytherin on their old Cleansweepers. And by the way, who the hell thought it was a great idea to let House-biased teachers take points away from the Houses or give, for that matter, to their own? who oversees this process? Professor McGonagall clearly has no problem taking points from her own House to maintain discipline and order, but what about Snape? it's been noted in the first book that he can just take away points from Gryffindor for arbitrary rules that he just invents on the spot. who's to say his finagling isn't what allowed Slytherin to dominate in total points for the past 6 or 7 years? who is keeping tabs on these teachers? Dumbledore either knows more than he's letting on, or he's doing a very poor job at organizing a school. does he understand the potential for corruption that he has handed those professors through their authority? Professor McGonagall clearly resists the temptation to abuse her power over the point system, but Snape's petty feud with Harry's father has really done a number on him. why is he even allowed to teach, anyway? ... wait, no, I totally forgot the teachers have basically no standards to meet. how does an egomaniac like Lockhart get hired? do these teachers have tenure? what the hell does the Ministry of Magic think of Dumbledore's sideshow of a "school"? why is Hogwarts considered so safe if someone like Quirrel--Quirell?--can get in without anyone noticing, I don't know, his SECOND HEAD? was it only present after Voldemort drank the unicorn blood, or had it been there ever since Quirell/Quirrell had started wearing that turban? did Voldemort never sneeze accidentally? is he even able to sneeze, or would his nasal deformity prevent that? would his host sneeze as well, and would the air come from the host's lungs? can he eat? didn't Quirrell drink the blood for him? how come no one forced him to go take a bath? is Voldemort hydrophobic? is he just disgusting? would he melt if touched by water, just like the Wicked Witch? maybe Dumbledore really is losing his marbles and does such great things during his lucid moments that they've just decided he's worth keeping around. and besides, where else would he go? is there an old folk's home for the magical sort? how does the food compare to that of the Muggle equivalent? do they hire wizards and witches as nurses? what about magical hospice care? where do they go when they die? where do Muggles go? where do WE go? is it all the same place? is there magic there? are there any Muggle ghosts? why haven't they told Muggles about magic? and how in the world do you keep DRAGONS a secret??

*in a movie*

main guy: hey, how are you?

his dream girl: i'm a plot device, so it doesn't really matter, how are you?

main guy: *monologues*

You can say a surprising amount with ~300 words

This is part of my guide on how to start learning a language more quickly. You can find the guide homepage here.

You can express yourself surprisingly flexibly when you know 300 well-chosen words (and grammar) in a language. (By “words”, I really mean lemmas, i.e. I’m counting “run” and “runs” as one word.) When trying to talk about a topic, there will probably be some key words that you don’t know, but you can ask for or look up those words and then use them for the rest of the time that you’re talking about the topic. You can see an example of how using the 300 words works.

Here’s the list of 300. I hope it’s a useful guideline and starting point for you. I may revise it, so please refer to the original post for the most up-to-date version. In addition to these general words, there will probably be some others that will be among the most useful for you (e.g. “class” if you’re a student). When you find yourself using them again and again, learn them too.

* Note: You should really think of this as a list of concepts. Your goal isn’t to translate each word to a word in your target language, but to figure out how to express that concept in your target language. In some cases, a concept may translate to multiple words (for example, I listed “you” as a concept, but in some languages there are different words for “formal you” and “informal you”). Some concepts may translate to no word at all, but rather a certain grammatical structure (for example, Russian doesn’t use the verb “have”; to say “I have a cat” in Russian, you say “at me there is a cat”).

Use a dictionary to find out how to express these concepts in your target language (for some subtleties, you’ll need to google or ask in a forum). After that, I suggest memorizing the words by making yourself a Memrise course with the words and going through the course. Learn to be able to go from the concept to the word in your target language, not the other way around; you want to be able to produce the word, not just recognize it. You should also learn how to pronounce your target language. To hear native speakers pronounce words in your target language, check out Forvo.

If you’d like to translate this list into another language, please feel free! :) Just include a link back to this post, and let me know when you’re done so that I can link to your list here.
