Let me help you with one area - answering questions from comprehension. This is about reading and vocabulary. Reading and understanding, in other words. Read the piece through once first. Then go through it and look up every word you do not know or are not sure of. Read it again, underline any parts which you don't fully understand and study them carefully. "Comprehension" means understanding and the questions are to test your ability to read something and understand what it says. I realise you know this, what I'm saying is - it really is that simple.
Now the questions. A lot of people get nervous in exams and fail because they answer the question they EXPECT, rather than what is actually asked. Before you even start thinking about it, read the question through again, carefully. Make sure you answer that question, and not the one you prepared for, because no matter how good your answer, if it's to the wrong question - no points, darling.
Ask your teacher for some old exam papers - s/he should have some available - and use them for practice. If you are determined to have no help, it will be hard to know how good you are.
Finally, judging from your question, which is well expressed, (despite what Steve M says, on Yahoo answers, lower case is OK) well punctuated and well spelt, I suspect you are a lot better than you think you are - break a leg, sweetheart.

With all due respect, you need to master the basic rules of English before attempting GCSE. Your question should have been written as follows:
'What can I do to pass my English GCSE?'
You have not used capital letters for the first word of the sentence, the personal pronoun, the proper noun or the letters GCSE. You would lose at least 4 marks for this in an exam.

it relatively is a bypass yet you may desire to be extra appropriate doing retakes of the English and Maths alongside A tiers. very few faculties/6th varieties might settle for somebody on an a point direction in a topic the place they have been given a D. in case you do the retake and do nicely, perchance you may desire to be waiting to do it then. Are there different A tiers you prefer to do as a replace? i'm undecided with reference to the RAF. it would desire to be worth doing the resits besides as in case you alter your innovations and prefer to bypass to college or get a distinctive interest you will regularly choose C in English and Maths. additionally many roles are searching for C in those subjects so it relatively is worth doing.

Well you need someone to set you the work and advise you about your answers. I would ask your present teacher/tutor to set some questions for you to complete. If you haven't a tutor then you may see adverts in local libraries or shop windows for English tutors. Or you could look on the internet or advertise in a local (free )paper
