The Student Room Group

has anyone found that...

they've been more motivated to revise for their mock GCSEs than their actual ones, or is it just me? it's kind of worrying...

I found that I was more motivated to revise for my year 9 end of year tests than my GCSEs....
I know exactly what you mean, I've done less revision for my real ones than my January mocks, I think I'm just sick of working now tbh

Exactly this. I'm pretty much done with revision, tbh. I just can't bring myself to do any more xD I did so much more for my mocks than I've done now D:

Same here xD I am literally relying on night-before cramming- that's the only thing that can save me now :tongue:
What exam board are you on for science? xD

I'm not worrying too much though, I mean I know basically everything I knew in the mocks, and did pretty awesome on those so it's just keeping it up :P

Nice :tongue:
I've forgotten a lot of Geography and History, so those need to be covered in detail again xD Out of curiosity, how did you do in your mocks? :h:

The thing is, I barely worked for mock exams (paid attention in class, read over class notes that's it), came out with good results so I kind of lost motivation and here I am on TSR.

I know hardly any Science but know loads about History and Geography.

What are your History topics about?

Yeah History, Geography and Physics are the only ones I'm really revising right now (I did Biology and Chemistry last year) I got mainly A*s, I think one or two As but I can't remember now. I didn't have as many exams then though :smile: How did you do? :P

Definitely the other way around for me :tongue: Science is like my best friend at the moment xD
I'm on AQA for History.
Unit 1: Origins of the Cold War, Crises of the Cold War, Failure of dรฉtente and the collapse of communism
Unit 2: The Russian revolution, Hitler's Germany and Race Relations in the USA.
How about you? :h:

Oh, right xD I wish I'd done some of mine last year, I have all of them this year -_-
I don't exactly know since I didn't do mine at the same time as everybody else- I was in hospital over mock period, so only did them when I got out xD. Out of the ones I did/got back, I got all A*s apart from in Food Tech (I got a C - and only just, it was close to a D :lol: )
