I'm in Y10 and only have one exam this year... :mmm:

Anyway, it's in ~81 days. :eek:

Subject: Citizenship (short course)

Feeling- :s-smilie:

I'm not sure how I'm feeling tbh. Apprehensive? I'll do as much revision as possible and I should probably start looking at some past papers to get a feel of the exam. :tongue:

All other exams... Next year! :ahee:

Good luck to all the current Y11s though! :ahee:

Best Subject: uh... English Language or Literature
Weakest subject: Maths :s-smilie:

Days to go: 80
First Exam: French followed by Biology - it's going to be a long day...
Feeling: :eek:

I'm really nervous, we haven't even had mocks yet so I don't have much of an idea where I am! I'd love an A* in maths but I'm not sure whether it will happen or not, it's definitely the subject I'm most worried about. Having said that, it's languages that are the most likely to go wrong. :confused:

I've started revising, but I'm currently lacking motivation. Procrastination always gets the better of me!

I'm really fed up with revision because my mocks were only last week, so I haven't been doing any :teehee:

Days to go: 74 ish
First Exam: Biology I think ?

Same with me :five:

I actually did fairly well at the beginning of half term but now I just keep putting off my revision! I desperately need to stop procrastinating!

After the Christmas holidays I got some pretty exercise books and coloured pens to make notes with - it was not to be! I'm just finding school a little boring now we've actually learnt everything, it is pretty much revision now in most of my lessons. :boring:

Haha yeah I bought some new stationery to try and motivate myself but it only worked for a day or two! Oh right, the only subject we're doing revision in at the moment is English! In the rest of our subjects we only have one or two more topics left.

We're pretty much done in English, too. :^_^:

Maybe this is just me, but it feels strange having almost finished!

Best Subject: Chemistry/Biology/Maths
Weakest subject: English Language/English Literature
Days to go: Haven't been given timetable from school.
First Exam: Look above. :smile:

I'm feeling nervous and excited. Slightly more nervous than excited though.
I've started revising, but talk myself out of revising for long durations of time; I always tend to do half of the work I set myself (although this should change when I receive my Mock results.) >.<

I would work more, but as most students. my motivation has been lacking as of recently. I don't want to wear myself out, so I'll just try and do casual revision for the next few days and get my wretched English homework done. Aim high!

Work hard and you'll get those results!

Just be careful with your health too though :P

Best Subject: Pretty much everything except below
Weakest subject: Sciences, Philosophy and Ethics
Days to go: 79?
First Exam: Ethics
Feeling: :holmes:

for stuff I'm good at, :eek:

for everything else lol. I'm fine with stuff that is more about understanding, like Music or Chinese or Maths, but the memorising stuff like science is harder for me. It might be because I've never really revised on a big scale. Mocks, I revised for three weeks prior and did fine... I guess it's more peer pressure making me feel stressed than not knowing it.

Except science. We haven't started P3 and only just started C3 and B3... so I'm quite concerned.

Wow you start pretty early!

You'll be alright though :h:

Make sure you've got a manageable revision plan :smile:

I said to someone else the other day that exams can make you feel overwhelmed like a deer in the headlights, so you panic and don't do anything. Try not to get overwhelmed by it all - you'll be okay! :h:
