in the end of year 10 and struggling

Remember it's not how MANY hours of revision, it's how EFFECTIVE your revision is. If you're motivated and want to do well then I don't see why you couldn't do well tbh, you still have plenty of time

i didnt revise for my mocks and literally got only 3s and 4s when im a 9's student, i regret this and im doing better now, but how many hours of revision should i do to get back to that level? is it possible for me to still do well in my gcses?

Also bare in mind that you're doing the new gcses so the teachers may have chosen to give you high grade boundaries (even though no one actually knows what the grade boundaries will be) as that's what my school did.

This is very important- before next school year, teachers didn't have any way to set reasonable bell curve grade boundaries. This will change with the 2018 papers being released, but you shouldn't be too upset if your current grades are lower. Based on trends, they should increase once the teachers are given the proper resources-the ones that the class of 2018 teachers didn't have.

Funny little story. y11 december mocks there was a 13% passrate of history- 87% of my cohort failed with a 3 or lower. Why?
They had set a 4 at 75%.
Sometimes its just lack of resources.

wtf why would a 4 be 75% LMAO. like my school set quite high grade boundaries but they were like the worst case scenario grade boundaries but Jesus Christ your school teachers are on something tf. But anyway your point still stands, grade boundaries will be v low this year and probably next year as well because the exams are harder and it's also the first year of them. I get pretty **** marks on the specimen papers for science but get A*s on all the past papers (of the old spec) and in theory you get the same equivalent grade whichever spec you do so hopefully that means I'll get an 8 but who knows wtf the exam boards are gonna do.

also make sure to practice as much as possible because talking from experience, boards such as aqa will throw curveballs at you in the exam- like asking about lesser expressed themes in english literature or wording a question about chadwick so weirdly that many got that answer wrong simply because they were confused as they were told not to learn it at all. Be meticulous in your revision, take the advice of the person above me and you should do fine.

Revise until you know everything you need to know. You will feel it physically if you are confident answering questions on a topic. It could be 2 hours, or it could be 9. Empower yourself by taking on the responsibility for your studies. Study like you want to learn, not like it's only worth the grade.

Refer to the syllabus to make a checklist of things you need to know. Go through everything. Learn how to use the Cornell note taking method. Practice planning and writing past papers and mock exams. Get your teacher to mark them, and to talk you through how to improve.

Time yourself studying until you notice your attention failing. Study in stints of this length.

Learn how to write. Get on your computer and open a text program. Practice writing until the words on the page express your thoughts as closely as possible. Edit out redundancy, go over the same thought 7 times. Combine the best bits of each. Learn to distinguish the useful writing from the excess.

Good for you for setting your priorities straight. I hope you do really well!
