Mock results vs Actual GCSEs

So I got my mock results back before Christmas and I feel like such failure, especially after going on TSR and reading about people who got all 8/9 in their mocks.

I was wondering what your mock results were, and if you have done them already, how your GCSEs compared to your mocks, and what you did to obtain those grades.

My mock results:

English Lit- 6 (I was the most upset about this one. I cried for a good few hours. I WAS 1 MARK OFF A 7 TOO!)
English Lang- 9
Geography- 7
German- 7
Science- 6 (I do double. Got a 6 in all 3 sciences)
Maths- 5 (Never been good at Maths. My worst subject.)
Spanish- 6
Drama- 6
History- 6

I am not saying a 6 is "bad" btw.

Mocks: Final Result
Maths: B:A*
English Lang: E: C
English Lit: D : D
Religous Studies: U : A*
PE: B : B
Media: B : A
Core Science: D : D
Additional Science: D : D
Computer Science: F : C
IT: D : A*
Overall: A*A*A*ABCCDDD

Went on to do A - Level Maths, Further Maths and Economics.

Some very nice sets of overall grades and nice A levels, I mean mocks maybe a baseline but damn you did very nice.

Mind you I did my GCSEs 2 years ago xd I had to retake my first year of A levels so not so great but I'm getting there, got the uni offer I wanted so now I'm putting my foot down

Whats up guys, Hope this is motivation

By the way well done for that. You really are a sweat. How'd you do it.

Lmfao. Bit of a slap in the face from my older bro. Stopped playing on the computer, turned off my phone, got out of a toxic relationship (can elaborate if you want xD)

Please tell me how you got yourself to revise, I am too addicted to my PC, phone and what not, how did you make yourself revise and just get better?

I won't lie mate; my parents and my older bro were a huge driving force. Even now on my gap year, I've cut out my PC starting this year, I mean I love CSGO and all that, but it just ruins my work ethic. It also has to be due to changing my revision style. The best thing that works for me is to go and grab an A3 piece of paper and to just write everything I know about a topic. Then, i go over it with a textbook/my notes, and I write everything I don't know/forgot in red. Really works for me atm, and I just keep doing that!

I am not saying a 6 is "bad" btw.

If you think that was bad, then i got
Eng lit - 8
eng lang - 6
History - 3
spanish - 3
science - (i did double) i got a 5, 4 and 2
maths - 5
Computing - 8 (kind of cheated tho XD cos really wanted to drop the subject)
Economics - E
The mocks are generally made to be hard and difficul and I found out, that when i did my GCSE's i ended up getting decent grades: two 8's four 7's three 6's, a B. So dont put yourself down cos they will debiterally make your mocks really hard to make your GCSE's seem easier. Also say your grades in the old grading system and you feel a load better about yourself, for example I got: a two A*, four A's, four B's. Personally, it sounds better than a 8, 7 ect

My mocks

Maths - 9
Biology - 9
Chem - 7 (******** test with no revision)
CompSci - 8
History - 8
RE - 8
ELang - 6
German - 6
Business - A*

I didn't do a physics exam b/c i was ill, but i probably wouldv'e got an 8/9. I got highest in the year for bio, history and compsci (i was like 2 marks off a 9 in it), and second highest in maths.

Probably need to start working on English and German lol. Bit annoyed with German as i got 7/7/8/8 in my last mock and got 7/6/6/6 in this one
I also slept in my second English exam because i couldn't be bothered - i got a 7 in the one i didn't sleep in and a 5 in the one i did

I also barely revised so it's all good yeah. Going for all 8s/9s - the only problem subjects are German and English.
