    Yeah me too! 1:30? Mine is 1:00. Anyway..I'm not going to lie..No revision? Are you out of your mind man? It's not impossible but it will be hard. I've been revising for two full weeks and I'm still up. You can't revise for P.E in a day; too complicated. Sorry If I seem negative but yeah.. Honestly, I prob will receive bad rep, but just drink a coffee or whatever and I would try an all-night and just cram as much as you can. P.S Revise the KEYWORDS. Best of Luck !!

    Not sure on specifically PE, but I got A in English Language in my GCSE with 1 day of revision :dontknow: perhaps GCSEs have changed a lot since I did them 4 years ago, though.

    ..sorry, just realised how unhelpful this reply is! I'll leave.

    Hey I never took p.e. but what I did if I hadn't done any revision was look at the specification as that's the stuff that will come up in your exam and just go through it and make notes then hopefully you can link the stuff you've learnt to the stuff on the spec.

    Good luck! :-)

    I think so! Or, actually, it might have been English Lit..... I think it was English Lit.

    I should probably go to bed. Good luck tomorrow, anyway!

    This was, unfortunately, the only type of revision I would do. The only thing you really can do is go over the main points for each area and if you have enough time skim read the important parts of the textbook. Good luck!
