Two years ago, I would have been preparing for my GCSEs. I wasn't stressed out about them, as I knew I'd do alright, I naturally did quite well (probably not as well as I could have, but I'll take a 9 in a subject I didn't care about one bit any day).
Now, things are different. I'm not doing well, I'm not getting good grades, and if I don't try, I will almost certainly fail. I feel really unprepared and stressed out about this, and I don't even know how to improve academically in any way that works
