I fasted during my GCSE's and it was fine, felt a little bit thirsty and that's it. Fasting did not affect my frades at all-I got 9A*s. However, it's completely up to you, this is just my personal experience :smile:

That's what I was thinking. But, I was talking to a friend who only took off 2 days last year and said it didn't effect her (she came out with A/A*.)
Personally, I might just do it after all it kind of does, for me, matter more. But if it gets really bad I might just take a few days of and make up for it once their officially over.

I didn't fast during my GCSE's and I exceeded my predicted grades... God doesn't want you to jeopardise your future if it includes fasting a really long and hot day when you have an exam you should be able to concentrate throughout. Just fast when your exams are over and do the days you missed in the winter or summer or something.

However this may come of some use. Aristotle or one of the greek philosophers used to tell his students to fast 10 days before the exam, something to do with ketone production in the brain which would help them in the exam. In actual fact, you could be better off not eating

I'm probably not the best to ask as I got majority B's and C's due to unforeseen circumstances affecting my coursework mainly, however i would advise at this stage is to only do past papers. I did this a day before each exam and ended up with A* in all exams, only for coursework to bring down my overall

after doing so, make an a4 sheet on every question you got wrong and revise that just before you got into the exam hall
