Thank you!! Just stay motivated and believe in yourself that you can do it and work your way up from there (cheesy but it's true )

I shall try and answer them as best i can but it feels like forever ago so i can't remember everything !
1. History/englishlit/english lang/ child develo/food tech: OCR
Maths/science:edexcel
Italian/Geog: AQA

2. I kept refueling on lots of tea and gossip girl in short breaks ahah Aside from that i just kept thinking of how the results will pay off, it seemed like a horrific experience at the time (everyone goes through it) but it truly does pay off and it was so worth it on results day opening the envelope- just keep a vision of what you want to achieve and that hopefully should motivate you

3. Well on study leave(which was pointless as i only had 3 exams left) i slept in till whenever i wanted to make sure i wasn't tired and felt refreshed. Start work at 11/12 I'd then work up till lunch (2/3), have a break, and then carry on for couple of hours, then break, then work in the evening. Iw ould usually do about 3 subjects a day depending on what i felt i needed to do most.

4. Ermm this is quite hard to remember, i think i started revising properly in the christmas holiday for our mocks. Then after xmas i sort of just focused on learning the rest of the courses as we still hadn't finished some of it so didn't do a lot of revision just prepared revision resources. Probably started full on revising about from April. But before just lghtly reading through stuff.

5. My predicted grades were very similar to the grades i got: my maths p.grade was a B though

6. In the mocks, i did quite well from what i can remember: A for Maths, A* for history, can't really remember any of the others, for us thre was pressure as they would be used incase we were ill for the actual exam in the summer.

7. Yeah i did read through my notes a lot, i used my notes to process them into revision material.

8. Don't faff about and go off topic (that was my problem) remember a top quality answer doesn't have to be 10 pages long- quality not quantity- although i'm a bit of a hypocrite because i always wrote too much aha

Hope that helped!!

Thank You so much
I've got alot of work to do!

Thanks, the way my teachers are making it out to be is totally impossible to pass which it can't be. I mean we have just started that part of the course recently and it seems pretty straight forward

that's generally how my teacher put it forward too- i think they might of thought the timings may of been quite difficult or the actual content im not sure? one tricky part of it is the last source based question where you have to use all of the sources but it gets easier once explained and practiced

My teacher said that students nationally find it harder as its completely source based and inferring from sources is hard.
