I do edexcel igcse so maybe because of my exam board? I think for this particular exam board the coursework is getting rid of for next years year 10 students. Well done in your coursework :smile: yeah I just do coursework for English

It's meant to be beneficial to revise in two times of day out of morning, afternoon and evening but not all three. Then you should split up these two into 1 hour sections to do 4 hours a day and take short but frequent breaks. Then you're meant to be able to cover everything you've learnt in ten days but idk about that


I will look in to this - thanks for sharing :smile:
Hey Zoe, I sent some stuff via personal message :smile:
Tips on motivation guys, basically Ive been revising making notes since September so right now im relaxed and not stressed for exams. I just need to stay focused and put in that last effort but I think im getting lazy cause Ive done most of my notes etc.

Im aiming for all A*s and im track but I think its just this holiday tht ive felt kinda lazy

Hey Guys, UPDATE FOR 01/04/2016

So today I've managed to do everything that i planned to :smile:
1. Review of Biology unit 2
2. Three past papers and looked at all the weaknesses :smile:
3. Physics paper marked and Biology unit 3 overview
4. Writing down all my weaknesses for Biology Unit 2 - so then i would know where to concentrate more.

Because it's April :s-smilie: I feel like it would be best if i started to do more past papers and looked at my weakness rather than writing notes all the time as it's time-consuming but I've made notes for all the subjects except from Psychology. then i would have more time to do past papers because they are so crucial :smile: Apparently, examiners recycle questions but in a different form ... :biggrin:I was just wondering but are any of you guys stressing and panicking because i don't seem to.... ?? :smile::h:

You've just got to to do it. You just need to have in your mind a set goal. You've got to have the eye of the tiger.

But seriously. Getting top notch grades is enough motivation for me.

For some reason im slowly losing motivation...

after doing some past papers, when I realised how many weaknesses I have i just feel like sh*t and that I won't be able to cover all my weaknesses

but my main problem is history-i looked at mark schemes and my teacher hasnt even taught us about some of the stuff. I looked through my class notes, revision guide she gave us and stuff is missed out. The fact that stuff is missed out even though there are piles and piles of content just pisses me off.

Idk what to do any more...I was so in hope of A* grades now it feels impossible. Idk why im telling this but how do you actually stay motivated and relaxed enough to cover everything?

True. My father said that I can buy a Mustang Foxbody GT convertible if I get at least 6 A stars. Way more motivation than needed. Lmao.

I know what you mean man. Just hold on and keep on working. You'll pull through. Did you not revise at all before last week ?

Depends what you mean. I've done a bit here and there but not like completely consistent (e.g 2/3 hours a day) only like a bit and i do most if not all homework. its not that i find anything difficult,its that its hard to priotise subjects especially when theres so much content

I felt the same a few month ago. It's really not that hard. It also depends on the subject.
