I have 9 exams this year so I only have to do 11 next year to lighten the workload. On the positive side I can repeat if any exams go wrong

Im in a Similar situation, I'm doing 4 GCSEs this year but there's no chance of resitting them 😕
Hey guys, my names Dan. I'm procrastinating. I'm in Year 10.

I'm doing:
Maths
English Lang
English Lit
Triple Science
History
RS
Art
French

I've already done my Chinese GCSE's, I got an A*.

I don't have many interests, I'm trying to stop watching that much youtube, but well, its rather evident that I'm finding other distractions quite easily. I'm dumb to say the least. In laments terms, I'm kinda ****. The problem I'm having right now is that I'm trying to start focusing but current situation at home are making it rather complicated. Unlike probably all of you I do not have any confidence that I'm going to pass ANY of my exams. My school is going downhill. Some of my classes are just ****. Just ****. Nothing is moving at the pace i want it to be, in History I honestly feel like we're going in slow motion.

My favourites subjects? None. Personally I wanted to do some Government and Politics and Economics, but because my school is *****y and public, my school doesn't have the neccesary resources to do it. Furthermore, subjects I do like have been (i.e English and History) been either swamped with dickheads or the teacher is just making me hate the subject in general. I used to be rather passionate about maths, but similarly to my faith it has worn off over the years. It's been a month since school has started and I don;t think I've learn anything. *sigh

In the future I'd love to be a politician, if not then a journalist. But as the days go by the former seems to be increasingly unlikely.

Sorry for a depressing rant.

You're not the only one feeling **** about their school situation. I'm seriously doubting I can scrape an A in my Geography coursework. You're in no way dumb, a dumb person wouldn't be able to get an A* in Chinese. Government and Politics seem like cool subjects but badly only private schools do them

BTW. I applaud you for doing GCSE art, there's no way I could hack it
No one around?

Is anyonee here doing edexcel history,how are you guys finding history in general?

Are all of you guys doing exams in science?
Ours is gonna be about enegy and electricity i barely understood anything in class due to the fact that the teacher we have expects us to know basics already,however in year 9 we had supply teachers 90% of the time😓
And the only thing we do in lessons is practicals which needs prior informations 😭😭 which we dont have...

Edexcel History (unreformed, sitting it this year), I'm doing medicine and surgery through time, Vietnam (doing coursework atm) and Germany. What are you doing? I find that history is a lot of just taking a lot of information and processing it.

How come you're doing mocks so soon?

I had like a panic attack in my English sats so i only got a 4a and all my other grades were 6s. To this day, my reports say I'm gonna get a 6 in English even though that's the grade I'm currently working at.
