8 days until first exam

I have revised a lot for the past few months, I'm on track for my predicted grades. What should I be doing for the next week? Should I continue to revise, should I step up the amount of revision, simply do past papers, revise for more distant exams? Advice would be appreciated

I might do the same! Make sure you let me know how your exams are going! I'm worried but knowing other people are in the same situation helps me cope!

Since we're nearing our exams now I'm just focusing on past papers this week. Then two nights before I'm going to go through key points again, or areas I'm unsure about.

Eugh, French. Can't wait to get it over with. >_<

Will do! I've got R.S and Geography next week; I find them dead easy but there is so much concept to remember? What's your first exam?

For French listening, even listening to the tone of their voice can help you to guess what they're saying - especially for the P/N questions

I had a spanish oral today, and it went well. My first GCSE exam this year starts in 4 days

Well for French reading I'm aiming for an A, whereas for listening I'm aiming for a B or C. (I struggle a lot with listening :frown:

)
What about you? :smile:
