Wow, I have just realised how quickly year 10 has gone!
I was really worried at the start that their would be a huge change in workloads, but don't worry at all because there isn't.

how did you get in the red rep
I'm gonna say work hard and just for a moment attempt to stay ahead of work...
Since, I know no-one actually does the above: FOR GOD SAKE DO NOT DRINK MORE THAN 3 CUPS OF INSTANT COFFEE 4 IN THE MORNING BEFORE THE COURSEWORK IS DUE.
Stick with tea or black, unsweeten (fresh) coffee if you can :] Milk + sugar during an all-nighter is not good.

Yep, tea and pepsi got me through the hellish weekend where I had to redo 2 years worth of ICT coursework, I hardly slept

I did quite the opposite actually. XD Knew IT was going to suck badly so I finished it and neglected the more important subjects... way to go...
Oh another point for year 10's. Don't do the above.
Ah I neglected it for the other subjects then I realised I wanted a top grade in it too 
Even though it was Stressful for me, i found year 11 went quite quick, the relief when you've finished each exam is amazing, well was for me.
Good Luck to all who are starting their exams next year, I'm hoping I've done well, since I'm still waiting for my results.

im starting my gcses in september, i'm doing;
drama
history
geography
french
english literature
english language
maths
science double award
R.E (taking AS early, instead of GCSE)
does this sound okay?
ideally, a career in musical theatre.
but my grades are so important to me aswell,
i just want to do my best
My english teacher discussed with me the University of Cambridge and has already suggested i aim for that, and thinks I'll 'easily' acheive A* at GCSE. The Head of Performing Arts also suggested the BRIT School, for Sixth Form Musical Theatre. My French teacher predicts A* as does my Geography teacher. Infact, at a recent parents evening he said to me 'you are doing it fo A Level, right?'. Looking at my grades, Geography is my best subject. I'm confident but just any tips would be so useful.. i'd hate it if i messed it all up?!

Yep they are fine, but I certainly think it's too early for you to be thinking about Cambridge/Universities yet.. Just enjoy year 10+11!
Haha yes. Just things that were said to me.

No, not yet.......
I've just realised how quickly the last 4years have gone
Just a tip to those going into year 11 - It'll go really quickly. A lot of people said this to me, but before I knew it it was mocks (Dec) and then very shortly the real GCSE's. Concentrate on everything and if you have to do coursework don't 'not bother with it' It'll be worth it in the end and you'll be more stressed by May.
