GCSE begins tomorrow eeek!

How is everyone feeling about tomorrow? It's the finals we've all been working for, and I am honestly so very nervous but glad it's finally here. I don't think I could wait any longer, I'm so very glad to have it over and done with.

I wanted to say a very big good luck to the 2018 GCSE students as we have worked hard and long and deserve to all pass with flying colours. Tomorrow is the computing science exam and I do not feel prepared enough, I honestly would be so glad to just pass.

Quick reminder- Being nervous is perfectly fine, it's normal. But do not let it affect you and your work, remember you've worked mostly your whole school career for this, it'll be a breeze.
Don't forget to hydrate- drink as much liquids as possible, I would recommend water. (However do not load yourself with energy drinks and caffeinated products as you will quickly burn out)
Eat well in these last weeks left, eating junk will not help but treat yourself once in awhile.
Sleep!!! I can't stress enough about this. All nighters are not worth it, just wake up a little early to review in the morning but do not replace sleep with revision.

Sending lots of love and luck,

yelp, I'm a nervous sheep

Wishing you the best of luck! I had my Spanish speaking last week, so biology is my next one on Tuesday. I find it hard to remember multiple things at once to do with work, so oops

Thank you very much! How do you think your Spanish speaking went? I heard it was pretty hard.
Good luck for the biology, I'm sure you'll ace it.
I know what you mean, I am definitely not a multitask-er! Yet I try even if I know I can't do it :'D

we'll just have to see how it goes, hopefully the exam boards lower the grade boundaries. I actually think my speaking went okay,but then again you never know. I have no idea if this is in anyway helpful but when my brother did his GCSE computer science our school totally messed his up, giving him computers that didn't work for stuff, and he came out with a B,so you're going to do well. it seems like you try a lot which is all that matters :smile:

is your exam in the morning or evening?

No I'm doing AQA, they are an odd examination board tbh.

Do you think EDUQAS is totally different to AQA, or would they have similarities?
How are you finding EDUQAS?

I really hope the grade boundaries are low too :biggrin:

I'm glad to hear it went okay! One down, a couple few to go till our summmer!
Oh really! That's bad that the school messed up on a students work, I'd be annoyed.
It's awesome how your brother got a B! That's impressive. :smile:

Good luck to everyone! I feel extremely nervous for tomorrow but can't wait to get it over with too. I finish almost 1/3 of my exams next week and 1/2 before study leave so my time for revision is highly compromised in the next 2 weeks :frown:

. Hopefully, it won't be too taxing though

Finally I've found someone who does EDUQAS for computing ; )) !! Topic 10 (Ethics, legal and environmental impacts) I'm literally screwed if it comes up as an 8 marker or 12 marker. I dont feel as prepared as I wanted to be but I've been doing the WJEC past papers and they dont seem that hard. I'm more worried for the onscreen !! WBU ??

omg EDUQAS is a nightmare. it has this reputation of being easy but a 2hr and 2x 1hr exam to do is not easy. plus the key concepts you have to know because they can ask on any.

depends whether you're planning on switching. why'd you ask? :biggrin:

it's tough for the component 1, islam and christianity it's quite easy.

I'm sorry to confuse you! I thought you were doing EDUQAS RS.

Sorry! hopefully you'll find someone who shares the sam exam board!
