also, I think that it could be good to see where you're at with no revision, so you know how much you really do need to revise, instead of over-cramming for no reason ( which I'll probably end up doing anyway)

Well at least you're better than me. My revision was 5 minutes before the exams 😂
I’ve just finished my first set of mocks and idk if this will help any of you but most of the exams we did were the ones the old year 11s did in the summer.. so in English for example, we got told/found out the areas in the exam and then could focus our revision on those areas
Definitely helped me be less stressed for all exams!!
