Just curious...I never do and I always get E's and U's in them!

[generalebriety]

Yes.

[.Ed.]

wow this poll has really taken off

[tom_tom_tom]

Nope i dont, even thouhgh they are a good indication of the level that you are working at, tbh i just cba!

[PaddyT]

a good way of revision is from revising from your mocks (if you teachers allow you to have your papers back) as it gives you the chance to see how you answered the question, what you didnt include and how you can answer it better in the future. I've always found looking over previous work effective.

I did revise a bit as our predicted grades depend quite heavily on them.

[pepilachat]

No because then i can tell how hard i have to work for the real thing

[purple-girl]

Well, for GCSE mocks I revised quite a bit...probably more than for the real things. But then again I had the whole of the Christmas holidays, the mocks were treated, in school, like the real exams (ie, in sports hell etc).

As for AS mocks...not as much. Still revise, but don't treat them like I did the GCSE ones. The mocks are in lessons, so they tend to be more like class tests rather than mocks, so they seem less formal.

Usualy read the next book in registration or something.

Depends on the subject and the importance of the mock.
I just had some mocks but i only revised for geography and maths kinder.

no even though technically you should

[anna_spanner89]

nope...when mocks are on i always have like courswork etc that is a bit more important

[LogiVI]

I do very little.

[Origami Bullets]

I do some . . . but only because I hate that feeling in an exam when you don't know what to write at all and you feel sick :x

[nuodai]

Wow, I'm the only person to vote the first option?

Yeah I do, I use them to really prepare myself for the real exams because it's the best practice I'm gonna get, and if there's something that throws me in the exam I then know to go over it and ask for help or whatever.

So yeah, I revise for them, but I don't get stressed about revising for them like I do with real exams

[sadmollz]

normally, i'd try and some quick revision a few nights before and tend to get decent grades. But just had some science mocks and i had loadsa coursework so I didn't revise

Worst desicion EVER! First time I've ever had that sick feeling ^^ just couldn't answer a single question lol! and I'm predicted an A* in the real thing...shocker!

[Echolife]

I do quite a bit but not as much as for the real thing. I always think it reinforces the teachers/lecturers belief in you if you do well, especially if they are going to be predicting your grades.

[watermelon sugar]

nope. too lazy.
i ust tell myself it'll help me identify what i am mega rubbish at

[Meliae]

I voted for 'hour the night before and read the textbook on the way to school' because that was pretty much exactly what I did for the January science exams. It just occurred to me that those were actually real exams...

For most of the mocks, I looked through the textbook or someone's revision guide in the lesson before except for for Latin. I actually learnt all of the wordlist (slightly reduced because we hadn't done all of it then - and still haven't) and the 2 poems. (That was all we were tested on in the mocks - hadn't started the prose back then, and Daily Life was on it too but I forgot to even look at that.) Looking at the textbook beforehand is a kind of reassurance/safety net to make sure I'm not going to get in there and not know anything.

[Glutamic Acid]

No, because:
i) I'm too lazy.
ii) I like to have some idea of my "raw" performance.
