GCSE Mock Exams, can someone help me/ revising

I think me and @JamieVardy disagree.

Depends on what OP does with the 2015 papers then...

I think me and @JamieVardy agree...

I honestly don't know if you're serious or not.

Come on. Everyone wants to pass their mocks. Virtually everyone cheats in them and attain all grade A*s, quite a confidence boost.

Don't you think that something like that would be too much of a confidence boost? Plus, why the hype in doing amazingly in mocks, when they do not count towards the actual GCSEs?[/QUOTE


Well, you see, I had the papers in my possession and I told a couple of people about them... and before you know it, the entire year knew! I, fortunately, didn't cheat in my mocks (despite the fact I was the one who found them), however, it turned out everyone had an A* in a particular subject, which was rather shocking. The reason for having access to the papers is...

I don't even know, haha.

There isn't a reason.

So you see where I'm getting at?

Yes, seeing everyone memorising mark schemes all over the school was awful.

Either way, even if I don't get them, I'm not too sure on how to revise to be frank. I've got a Chemistry test coming up soon and I really do need to get a high grade, to show my improvements, since I got a U last time Unit 3... Plus, I'm not sure how to memorise my speaking assessment for German, because I know we're talking about holidays, but apparently he's not allowed to give us any questions so I'm not sure if I would even understand what he's saying to be honest, since our old teacher didn't teach us anything and we've barely learnt much, it's taking place next week.. I've searched for questions that could come up but still, what happens if he says something different, I wouldn't possibly understand it.

I agree! Plus its unfair on those who put the work in! Just revise as you would for the actual exams?

Hi, the June 2015 questions and papers aren't available until next year after the mocks. This is for copyright purposes for the exam board, as well as making sure that the papers haven't been seen by students doing their mocks so they can't cheat.

Please don't continue requesting this, I've edited it out of your first post but am going to reopen your thread as you've also asked for advice. If you do, however, continue to ask, I'll have to close it. Let me know if you have any problems.

Agreed. Just try your best, revise and see how you'd do if you took them now. Mocks are a great advantage that you can learn from - don't waste this opportunity to fix your mistakes before it's too late! My mocks start on Monday & I'm nervous but see them as a blessing. Good luck.
