How is everyone feeling about GCSEs starting tomorrow?

I'm quite nervous but i've worked and worked everyday for a month now at pure exam stuff so i'm kind of over it. It's gotten to the point where i'm excited because i just want to see what they've put on the paper! What about you?

I'm bloody terrified
I've been revising since February time but now I'm worrying that it wasnt good quality revision. I can't relax and feel stressed 24/7. I'm most worried for English because it's a really important subject and I really struggle at it. Other than that I feel quite confident with the other exams (but stressed that I might not fet all As and A*s).
I've already done an exam and honestly it feels like it's just another mock exam! Im probs gonna be scared for the subjects that I need to do well in in order to do them for A Levels but other than that I am not actually scared. Months of preparation is actually good!

Why?? You shouldn't be! I believe in you! :wink:
Quite chilled tbh. I've got maths which is nice. and let's face it , they're only GCSEs - not actually that important. I'm already more worried about starting IB in August than I am about my GCSEs oops

yeah. it's frightening
Hi everyone,
I was so stressed the night before my English exam and got really upset. No need to be at all! The exam doesn't even feel real it feels like it's a practice so don't worry. The worst thing to do is stress because you will start panicking and forgetting which isn't good. If you have your exam tomorrow you should be thinking about skewing very soon at least 8 hours we need! Good luck and believe in yourself!😊😊

I think it'll be amazing and much more interesting and all encompassing than A Levels. The only downside in my opinion is the higher calibre of student against whom you'll be competing. If you think about it , IB is done at international schools around the world. Elite academic schools in China , India and other academically focused countries . They're the people who affect grade boundaries - scary concept to me.
I have not finished revision for anything yet and I have just been putting some subjects of all together
Chemistry on Thursday is stressing me out so bad, I don't even want to begin thinking about the week after (an exam a day kill me now)

feeling like my revison was really bad oops
My next exam is on the 23th, but I've already had my AQA Art (which was hell) and my iGCSE CIE English Lang. They were terrifying but a lot of people had a ton of language exams so I feel a bit better. I am completely over the exams tbh, mainly looking forward to sixth form. Good luck everyone!! :h:
