My teacher said that because unit 1 - the hardware exam - has so little content in it, then he thinks that more or less all of the content will come up

That's exactly what I thought when I took it in year 10 - I couldn't care less, even when I got a 3- in mocks. But towards the end of year 11, I got my head twisted right I began to think about what would happen if I actually failed, so I worked as hard as I could and I managed to get a 7 at GCSE - if you think you're failing then don't beat yourself up about it because if you knuckle down then anything's achievable! (I also had a shite teacher who taught us precisely 5% of the spec so considering I taught myself a subject I didn't understand in the first place I was shocked when I opened the results slip on results day) Good luck!
