DD2 is doing gcse's next summer and mocks next month.
She seems to struggle with the tradition revision techniques (eg look, cover, self test) and has had some relative success with things like mind maps.
However, I think something like Lord of the Flies for English has flummoxed her, she doesn't know where to start. Therefore, is there an online site she can look at that teachers maybe explain how to look at the individual characters etc?
Also, does anyone know how to effectively revise for English Language as she actually failed this at the end of last year when they gave her a mock paper. English used to be the thing she excelled at but not any more. I have bought her a kindle and told her to read every night before bed as I think it's the lack of reading that's had an impact. What else should she be doing? Can anyone break down what an English Language paper actually entails now??
If anyone has any useful websites for any subjects (eg maths, English, science, history, re) I'd be HUGELY grateful.
Thank you for reading.
