I haven't revised for my GCSEs

Hi everyone!!!!!!

As you are all painfully aware of, GCSEs kick off tomorrow with Religious Studies and I, like the bimbo that I am, have not done even a whole minute of revision over the last two years.

I got 5 A* and 3 B for my mocks (I didn't revise for those either) and tbh I haven't stopped laughing manically because I'm super stressed and DYING inside.

Will I be alright? Any help, criticism, hate is welcome 😄😄😄

Thx - Celia

You are highkey an idiot lmao but you will be fine. The exam is in the afternoon so you have until 8:00 AM until 1:20 PM at the latest. Find some past paper questions and just bullet point your answers and memorise them

Thanks I know 😂 I'll try to sit my ass down and do AT LEAST one paper but its so boring...

There's no exam pressure in mocks and there's an air of 'I've seen this question before in previous mocks'. You sit there smiling at your friends and not thinking much about it, because the attitude is that 'it's only a mock!' which far too many students have. I see it even now, in my second year of A Levels. My best pals at college have the exact same attitude as you, where they've done absolutely no revision all year for mocks etc, but they're bricking it for their exams next week, as they know that mock exams and real exams aren't truly synonymous. I have one pal who's spent the full year bigging up the fact that he does no revision yet does well in mock exams, but now he's feeling the pressure. You'll get into that exam hall and the pressure will just come - this is what makes or breaks a student and their grade. I don't mean to sound pessimistic but it's the reality of it.

I've been there and done that myself. I thought I was going to get an A in Physics and a D in Chemistry at GCSE just because of my mocks (which I didn't revise for myself), but I got a B in both. I was told I was going to fail GCSE Maths but ended up getting a B in it. Everyone'e different. You could do so well in mocks and then fail it all at the final hurdle, just like I did badly in my GCSE Chemistry mocks but fast forward a few years and now I'm an A* A Level student in it. It's a probability that you can't be sure about I'm afraid.

That was very insightful, I appreciate you took the time to write that out. This is the first time actually that the idea of exam hall pressure has been brought up to me, so truly now I'm questioning my abilities again.
I've always been this way since I first entered the academic world and at first I thought I was just stupid, but then that proved to be the opposite, so now I'm left with the worst possibility which is that I'm just ridiculously lazy and unambitious. I feel tremendously guilty for not revising, I've had to watch all my peers break their back and shed tears and blood just to attain a B whilst I've been frolicking around, not giving a damn about anything yet still coming out with the best grades. I don't know man I'm freaking out because what this means is that my grades depend not on my capabilities or knowledge but on my mental state that day and if I wake up tomorrow depressed, unmotivated or hella stressed then I might not even make it to the first question but if I wake up feeling confident and excited then maybe I'll be okay.
Your words ring true, I'll bear the responsibility of it and whatever but thanks anyway

Those are peng mock grades. Just try and relax fam.

thanks queen xxx
