I'm in Year 11 and confused about the gaps between GCSE exams

You can find when your actual exams will be online.
-There are never any exams during May half-term (25th-29th May)
-There will sometimes be weeks with loads of exams, and some weeks you might not have any. I finished all but one of my GCSEs, and then had two weeks until my final exam.

-Also, mocks are much less spread out than the actual exams - compare a two-week mock period to an 8-week actual exam period

Don't panic about not having enough revision time - there will be plenty, especially for later exams!

I'm starting to panic about my GCSEs, we currently have mocks and I end up with about 13 over a two week period. I'm curious, are the real exams like this, as I feel that the gaps are just too short and make it very difficult to revise for.

Thanks for the info! Any idea on how I can check the dates of my exams online? I've never used the online system, not even for retrieving my GCSE grades, instead of attending the results days.

All the exam boards have published lists of exam days. Just google 'GCSE exam timetables June 2015' plus whichever boards you're doing, and you should find your exams.

Hey, don't worry, I had about 17 exams over 2 weeks so can understand. For the real thing, it is more spread out. Some days you may get 3 a day and other exams with a few days apart. Also like the above person said, you have the May half term in the middle of exams, so have a week off exams which will give you an extra 7 days to revise. The exams will be over May and June, mine are over 6/7 week. But if you want to be sure, check your exam dates. My school has given out the provisional exam timetables but you can go on exam board websites and loo for the 2015 provisional exam dates.

I think school do it over a shorter period because you'll have less exams (haven't covered all the syllabus yet) and to limit the amount of time lost, so more time for actual lessons It's still doable though

Honestly, I can't wait for these exams to be over, I've been doing mocks for three years now and I just want it all to end Roll on super long summer holidays... And expensive sixth form suits, and sixth form laptop and shoes and... Oh god, I'm not rich, now I have to worry about affording it all
