Work hard.

Also What you write is key, and gives you good marks.

I did not add writing to one of my peices and got a B-, after I added writing I got an A+

Also, you can fullfill the checkpoints for example, taking photo. I find that I'm losing marks because I need to draw things i see first hand.

Not that I recommend this, by any means, but for my English GCSE I didn't do an ounce of revision and I got an A. In class we analysed poems and prose and my booklet containing all of my poems and prose was completely full with annotations. I literally only looked at them in class and not again. I just remembered them off by heart and I only read the books once (in class).

In order to well in your GCSE for English, read (not a lot, if/when you can), newspapers in particular - examiners do notice a wide range of vocabulary and it makes your writing more refined and sophisticated hence increasing your marks. But the most important thing for English is your structure, especially because it's essay based. You must plan your essays in your exam and stick to this rule when writing them: P.E.E.

P = Point. You make a point in your essay, for example; She was surprised with what she saw.

E = Evidence. This is vital, you must back up your point with evidence, usually a quote. 'Her jaw dropped when she saw it.'

E = Explain. Explain your quote and relate it to the point made. Using the word 'dropped' emphasises the surprise she was in upon seeing this.

And remember to stick to the question! If it helps, write your question on the side of your paper and remember to always go back to the question and only include relevant points. It takes practice, but practice makes perfect. Then you have an A.

Are gcse maths gcse english and gcse science the most important gcse subjects?

In short - Yes. Most people are aware that there are a number of "core" subjects which students need to study in order to gain good college and university places, and to succeed in the work place. Typically, GCSE English, GCSE Maths and the GCSE dual Science syllabus are the "big three" subjects in this respect, and most employers and further or higher education establishments stipulate grade C or above for GCSE Maths, GCSE English and GCSE dual science as the syllabus for each of these subjects is considered to teach students skills which are vital for all aspects of life.
