Don't be scared!!!! I took my GCSEs a few months ago and honestly once you get in the hall it's not as tense as teachers make it out to be. You do so much practice and mocks it almost just feels like another in-class test, but in a different room. It's important to prepare for the exams, but make sure you take breaks!! Revising non-stop could lead to burnout so make sure to rest and get enough sleep, eat well etc, if you work too much without rest it can lead to not being able to focus properly, and can be unproductive. Remember to look after yourself!! And I'm here if you need some help with studies :smile:

Did mine this year too and I agree with this completely!

Do 1-2 hours a day and keep it varied between all your subjects and you’ll do great’

Scared

what makes you scared , is it the realisation that you might fail or might not get the grades you want ?
well , you probably just have done your year 11 mocks and see what you get on their if you are getting good grades be happy about yourself because you know you are doing well , and even if you are doing well , it is not the sign that you don't have to do any more revsion you still do so, give yourself a pat on the back and keep pushing hard and this will pay back in the future and you will be very happy then

what’s your current grade? i’m predicted 9s in both maths and further maths and honestly maths genie and corbett maths are so helpful. i prefer corbett maths because the questions are more challenging and there are videos to explain each topic. make sure to constantly be doing past as maths is mostly practice. good luck with your exams!

ok the biggest thing is you want to finish all the theory and then just focus on practice papers and exam questions, you want to do as my exam questions as you can get this will you familiarise all the questions, they can only ever ask you so many questions so you want to be ready for this so just do exam practice.So when you get a question on the GCSE's then you realise you have done a similar question to this before and so you can write the exact answer as you know what the mark scheme specifically wants form you.
