I am also doing I.T, and have completed my Geography GCSE (I got an A).
Has anyone else got this many exams? Have you started revising yet? Any revision advice, these exams are mindbaffling :confused:

Hi,

I did my GCSE’s last year, so I know howyou are feeling at the moment. I took my exams all at once like you, maybe notas many, but I had a lot!
I know it is a lot of stress thinking aboutthe exams, but try not to worry; it would be a good idea to start revision whenyou have time but don’t overdo it. I was always told not to revise more than30mins each time, so it is best to split up revision times and have breaks. Apopular revision technique is to make mind maps of each subject, summarisingthe key information that you need to know (perhaps use different colours). Thisdoesn’t work for everyone, another idea is to make notes as you would do inclass and highlight key points, this may work for some subjects more thanothers. Another idea would be to look at past exam papers if you know the examboard, there should be lots on the internet.
Well done on getting an A in Geography, youare obviously very capable, so you will do well in your exams. Just remember totry your best and that is all you can do.
I hope I have helped, but don’t worry aboutit, you will get through it.
Matt

Thank you so much! This has helped me a lot, I think I am just going to do a few subjects a night, and not do too much like you said. I am going to give past papers a go, I bet that will help loads. Exams are always on my mind as there is a lot of pressure for me to do well. School expects me to be getting top grades (A*'s, A's) and my sister got straight A's and A*'s so it is hard for me to know I must please everyone, but I will try my very best :wink:

Thanks again! :biggrin:

I have 23 exams too, and I've already taken gcse's in math and French and unit 1's and 2's for biology chemistry and physics.

Instead of drawing up a revision timetable I find it best to make little checklists for each subject about what I need to know. And I can mark sections I need to work more on. I prefer this to timetables because I don't always know how long each section will take. I also tend to set little targets over a few days so I might say by Wednesday I want to have finished one chapter of math and one chapter of history in terms of notes.

And the other thing is that you should leave past papers till the end. They are extremely helpful but at least for me I find it best if I leave them till i know all the knowledge apart from maybe one at the start just to spot weak points

I had 21 exams when I did my GCSEs two years ago, as well as coursework which wasn't completed until May which was very time-consuming too.

I started revising in April, if I remember correctly, although the content we had was probably very different to what you study now (the sciences, for example, have become a lot tougher now).

22-25. Unsure wether I'm actually taking 3 of them aha! Triple science is excessive, 9 exams!
9 Science
2 ICT
2 Music
2 RE
2 English language
2 English literature
2 Maths
2 Health & Social

And potentially 1 dance and 1 French exam.
I revise for 5 hours a day, plus extra revision after school, and one whole day at the weekend! Mock papers and tests and quizzes are a huge help to test memory!
