I'm a twin so it was sink or swim with me - my mum didn't have time to help both of to revise so she helped neither. Besides, at the age of 15 I didn't want or need help.
My family have been really supportive. Although they are not able to help me with the exam content itself as they simply don`t know it and haven't done it for like 40 years they have been forking out hundreds of pounds over the last few weeks to get me a maths tutor who has got my past paper marks from a U to an A. Quite important as i`m doing A level Maths and Physics My brother has also been helping me where he can. Support is always great but the best revision aid is the internet. MyGcseScience and Conquer Maths/My maths are great sites and you can learn the whole course from scratch within a few hours on them. They cost money but are well worth it. Good luck for your exams
Made me feel guilty every time I left the house, wanting me in constantly, increasing my stress levels. Making noise around the house and just not respecting me at all really
Not a lot really...but I'm kind of happy about it. I mean of course they've wished me good luck etc but I'm glad that they're not hands on about it because I'd just rather get on with revising in peace and seeing teachers if I'm stuck (as my mum did O Levels about 35 years ago so she doesn't have a clue about anything we have to learn). I'm happy because I know that they want me to do well but they're not overly pushy about it
My parents just expect me to get really high grades Like, an A is disappointing to them
But, recently, my mum has been buying a lot of food, because if I snack when revising I tend to focus more
I know people who get £100 for each A* I want that
I've gone through so much food😂 Yes!! Some of my friends are getting money like that, my best friend gets £100 for every A, she's smart too so she'll end up with a lot. I'll just get the good feeling of doing well💪🏼
