How is your revision going?

How is your GCSE revision going. Where are you in your revision. Do you still have outstanding coursework/CA to do?

I still have some notes to do on certain subjects that are later on in the exam period. I do about 2-3 hours a night and have been starting to do past papers the past few weeks. I still have a bit of I.C.T to do, but that should be over petty quick. How you doing?

I have done near to no revision so far.

I can't get motivated at all to revise and I can't believe we're not getting study leave so school is going to eat away at what little time I have left to revise. As for CA I think I'm all done-they went pretty well I know I got A* in my computing, history, english and triple science CA's but I haven't got my geography mark back yet- fingers crossed I get a star because the geography exam is scaring me I don't think I'll do well so I need a good CA to bring up my grade hopefully to an A overall.

So panicked about having no study leave because at school all i do is piss about and for some subjects (geography & triple science) I haven't understood anything in class so it's only at home I'm going to have to quickly learn it all. I need study leave > :frown:

Maybe I can convince my mum to let me stay off sick for a few of the days?

My revision plan for now on is a form of cramming- I mean there's about a month so not the night before kind but I'm using flash cards now for science to learn the spec off by heart, for geography I haven't started yet but I think I'll look over past papers and plan out points for my answers, Computing I have no idea what i'm going to do, english & RE are being winged (maybe I'll read OMAM again? Maths my grandpa got me gcse maths to A* in a week so I'll look over that, French I'm going to start learning some vocab from the past papers and History I have no idea...

I could never be one of those people who starts revising months and months before exam time I need the stress to motivate me or I just sit around playing video games as I have just wasted all of Easter doing :P Ah well, now I'm starting to feel the stress it's time to revisie.. back to chemistry :smile:

I'm sure you can luckily manage to pull off As in your overall GCSEs. All you need to do is get Bs in the exam. I'm in your position too - my science teacher is so sh*t hence why I am planning to cover all of P2within 2.5 weeks and planning to cover 26 topics of geography (AQA B) in 18 days (impossible)
However, my english CA is on an A (hopefully A* after moderation -Aqa) and also i want my geo CA to be on A (AQA B). I dont know about my ISA, so i have to try and get an A for all three exams.
I have also wasted my easter (not my fault :colondollar:

) which is why i'm planning on retakes in case i dont do too well (ie waste a year). I'd rather waste a year and go to good uni and good job than live the rest of my life with C grades

Pretty sh*t if im frankly honest. I don't have coursework, any coursework I had to do i had to do in school! I recently dropped food tech for more time to revise! I spent that time on Netflix and the free period I have in school I mess about.

- Only done 3 topics of physics, biology, chem.
- 1/5 chapters of the psychology short course
- the 2 easiest pages in my business course
- 1 maths paper

So, I'm panicking and still have no motivation! Please somebody help me!!!!

I crammed the night before we had each mock too (no excuse really I was just lazy) I think I got 4A* and 5A in my mocks but I'm really worried the actual exams will be a lot harder and also I wasn't stressed taking my mocks but in my real exams I know I will be. Oh well, at least if I fudge up they can look at my mocks and see I did well there. I agree cramming works best because the pressure makes me work more efficiently but I want to make sure I've at least looked through everything and gone through the stuff I don't have a clue about before.
