Year 11 Mocks OMFG HELP!!!!!

You already have your revision material for all sciences? JHEEEZ, I didn't even finish making mine before the exams. I ended up memorising the revision guides loool

I did it 2 years ago, I got 1 A* and 10As. If I put in the effort an actually revised from Christmas, I'd have got much much better.

I've just had a week of mocks and I have some more next week. In terms of content, that can honestly vary a lot - different departments within different schools may decide to create a paper that compiles questions from multiple other papers (like my Computer Science teacher), or they may just use ones provided by the exam board.

The purpose of mocks, in my opinion, is just to gain a rough understanding of where you're at, in terms of both exam technique and knowledge of the content, and also to provide you with 'the whole experience' of having exams in the circumstances that you'll have in six months' time (they're also there as a 'backup' just in case something extremely serious happens on the day of your actual GCSE exam; if you are unable to complete the exam that day and have a valid excuse, e.g. because you got into an accident and are in hospital, mocks can be used to help determine your final grade).

Try not to worry too much about them; definitely revise for them and try your best, but don't get stressed over them - it's not worth it.

Good luck (:

hiya!

don't stress too hard over these mocks! you have your science resources mad- go over them, make sure you understand the content. when you get your results, you'll know what to further work on to improve for next time.
try and revise by reading notes and revsion guides for other subjects if you feel you have no time- that's what i did, and i got 6s (not great, i know, but i practically gave up trying- which i advise you not to do, haha).
if you don't mind me asking, what books are you studying for english lit?
language paper 1 was text from a story, talking about a trip to brighton- i'm not completely sure about the text. but, section B was describing a beach setting, but i can't remember what the second section was on, i'm sorry.

i wish you the best of luck, but don't stress! xx

Mocks really don't matter much and so shouldn't be stressing you at all.

Treat it as a random past paper but the only in exam conditions in an exam environment. Even if you do badly, no one is going to judge you because I bet 90% of people you know will not revise for them (or will start revising a day before).

Honestly you need to chill bruh.. I didn’t revise for my mocks at all and I got all Ds and Us. it got me shook but I still didn’t revise as effectively but I got through my GCSEs with grades im really happy with. My point is you’ll be fine especially if you worked so hard in year10 I didn’t work at all in year 10 and I did just fine and it’s not like I’m naturally talented like I’m dumb af.. it may not seem like it but GCSEs are a breeze

wow, that's amazing! what do you recommend doing from christmas? do you think you should have finished your notes by then, or should've started then? x
