burnt out for paper 2s

does anyone else feel tired after the paper 1s? its so hard for me to focus cuz part of me feels very prepared so ive been constantly procrastinating and i dont feel the same fear for papers as i did for the paper 1s. is this just me?
Yes, it's natural. But for me going into the Paper 2s has been reassuring. For your first paper, you never know how it's going to go and are expecting the worst. By the second, the shock of capture is gone. I'd prefer to be a bit burnt out than a nervous wreck like I was for the paper 1s.

I agree with the fact that stress is also my motivator. But honestly speaking for my paper 1s I was way too relaxed in the exam hall. I was stressing about my GCSEs back in year 9 way more than I am now. It might sound a bit vague but it's all due to the non-existent motivation. during half term, absolutely no revision was done by me. ill honestly be surprised if I get straight As like I hoped to get. Although most exams went well, it's just maths paper 1 Edexcel higher that put me off. However, I'm so happy about paper 2 in maths today. still, cba to study for biology tho, though I'm legit here procrastinating searching through history and maths reviews from today's exams on this website.

Yes totally get you on the procrastinating man. It's humbling to say this but even now I find myself avoiding biology revision when biology is literally tomorrow. it's fine ill start soon since I just came back from a revision session recently. Also, I'm not doing an igcse program, I'm doing GCSEs and for bio, I do ocr gateway. Honestly hope for the best for us bothhh
