Feeling unprepared is natural, don't worry! You could do lots of effective revision and still feel unprepared, exams are frustrating like that :tongue:

try and be confident in yourself, cover things as best as you can, then you know you've done all you possibly can! GCSEs can be stressful but you just need to persevere, imagine how amazing you'll feel once you finish your last exam! :biggrin:

The best way to cope is to stay positive, revise in a way that is best for you, take breaks, socialise when possible. Use good grades as in incentive :h:

prepare well and you're off to a good start. Best of luck, I'm sure you'll do brilliantly :smile:

It doesn't matter. Despite how much of a waste your spring break may have been, or how much time you have wasted each day, you still have three weeks left. You may feel that its not much, but even if you start working phenomenally hard from now, you can cover a lot in the three weeks left for revision.

Lemme give you my idea of how im going to try and cover everything in three weeks.

I need to cover 15 poems, learn 3 characters from An Inspector calls off the back of my hand and learn how to analyse unseen poems. I'm going to break it down and manage my time and days to ensure I have completed everything in 19 days

Good luck

do you have any predictions for the poems (relationship cluster) and the inspector calls/OMAM characters? Poems= Possibly To his coy mistress

I don't completely agree with predictions but they do allow you to see which poems/characters you should probably focus more on, but do still cover everything, you can't just reply on a prediction.

Anyway, the most popular predictions this year:
Relationships cluster: To His Coy Mistress (apparently Paris with you and Brothers is foundation only).
OMAM- Curley, Beginning and ending settings and Carlson.
AC- No idea since I don't do it.

I'm doing the conflict cluster. The way I predict poems is to see which poems had come up in all the recent exams, and then revise the ones that didn't come. The same poem from recent exams are unlikely to come up as AQA say that they create exams to make sure the whole syllabus is covered in exams within the five year period of the current specification. It's best to study poems that didn't come up and study SIMILAR poems to that as you will need to compare.
