Which topics are you struggling on and which exam board are you on

I recommend starting with light revision so take a few words from key definitions or questions and inversely work out what they are from - helped me out but i am labeled as insane so i am not sure if it will work amazingly or if this even makes sense

If I'm honest, I'm very worried. I'm made out to be a complete genius by all my family, teachers and friends. I have had a lot of problems recently. I haven't been eating, haven't be sleeping and haven't been thinking straight for a long while. Obviously, this has affected my revision. I just could not do it. I could not keep that 'revision' mind set. I have my first exam in 9 days. My Biology teacher expects me to get top of the class and near 100%. I have not yet started revising, I just cannot think properly. I plan on trying to go 'full steam ahead' starting tomorrow. Utilising every single spare second towards revision. I have 5 exams in January:

Biology OCR
Physics OCR
Maths C1 AQA
Maths S1 AQA
Maths D1 AQA

Most comfortable - Least comfortable:
C1 - Physics - S1 - D1 - Biology

Sat Add. Maths last year, so C1 is an absolute breeze, no worries there. I pick up physics naturally and read it recreationally anyway, finding this module easy and not too much info. I only dislike deformation of solids as its pretty boring. Now, I hate stats, but S1 is OK - most of the stuff you need is in the bloody formula booklet. I hate D1. Hate it. I find it incredible pointless and boring. I wish I didn't have to sit it - I imagine this will be my lowest maths score. As for biology, I wasn't in college for the last week or so, so I don't even know the full course. I believe this is the hardest exam due to the amount of information to remember. The concepts are not difficult, they're just a LOT of things to learn, and you have to know where to use the correct technical terms. Not comfortable with transport in plants or cell division. I really need to blast biology for the whole week and pull off a ****ing miracle.

I'm supposed to be getting all A's. 95%-100%'s in my Maths and Physics exams (HAHA! What a disappointment I am going to be). Even my biology teacher wants me to hit high 90's. I'd be delighted with an A. I've got enough on my mind as it is, and exam stress is just topping it all off. I need help.

I'm doing about 5 hours each day, which I thought was alot but you lot are starting to scare me with your 6/7 hours I really need to work harder!

sad to say it but he is right guys when you do a resit/retake the grade boundaries are pushed up so what got you a c before would get you a d in the resit - it is designed so it is not just a back up exam you know

also if you took physics aswell you could have been me - but i got 4 U's last year XD
me no likey exams

Since when to they raise the boundary if your doing a retake?!

I think people have blown this too far out of proportion - the grade boundaire raise a bit during resits not tonnes but enough to make a difference
say you got 37% and you scraped an E resit and you get 38% and get a U because the boundary would have been raised by 5% which is like 4-5 marks
