Stressing about grades

Hi, so I am really stressing about getting good grades, currently I am not doing so well and I am starting to stress out and panic. Have I left it too late? If anyone could give me revision tips or actually help me one to one that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You haven’t left it too late, a bit of revision is definitely better than none at all- don’t give up!
Which subjects are you doing? :h:

My tip would be just be prepared. If you haven't already start revising now! Make notes, do practice questions and just make sure you are confident going into these exams. If there are subjects you are struggling in or feel less confident in then I would advise maybe spending a little more time focusing on those!
Good Luck! :smile:

I find active revision is great. By that, I mean making your best effort to recall content from memory so you truely remember it. A good way to do this is fladhcards with bulletpoints of necessary information, test yourself and do quizzes on key content in the spec. After, move onto applying that knowledge to past exam papers. This is, in my opinion, more useful than absently making notes and not actually learning them. Hope this helps!

You’ve absolutely not left it too late! Build up a list of your weakest areas in each subject and nail those first, (I know it will be tough but worth it!) then start including your strongest areas in revision as well in the last few weeks before exams. You can do it!
