Revise. examiners don't care what gender you are they don't even know your name. Revise cut out habits of playing games or watching tv and study

Sound good thanks
Remember they actually count for something, not just 'to get onto my A-Levels' - they've been the determining factor in multiple interviews of mine to get a job/offer.
Work for them tbh, you have them forever. It's not worth the disappointment on results day.
That's me being honest, as an A2 Student - they don't get easier. You have to get into the swing of revising early.
if you do early revision and work hard from the beginning everything would be easy for you trust me. Go back through everything you learnt and always do homework the day you get it as it's revision and does come up on the gcses

Start your revision now, but do little and often and make sure you find some time to relax and unwind, stress can be a great motivator in the short term but can really bog you down if you don’t have some downtime as well 😊

I have been revising but the homework on the day aspect is something I should probably work on.
Interviewers mostly care about A levels anyone who says GCSES just wants to know if you passed maths and english.

Ok I'm sure I'll pass English and I'm almost at an 8 in Maths.
