It’s never too late to start revising. Just go full power on your revision, this will really help you feel better. I wish you all the best in your future x
I'm doing a bit of light revision like physics equations and Spanish vocab, but nothing full-on
I just had mocks so did alot of revision already and I did pretty well

**** no you're not late. Instead of worrying about if you're late or not, start revising now. I did my GCSE's last year.

For 3/4 years of high school I worked fairly hard was in top sets for most stuff and teachers were happy with me. But when I got to YEar 10/11 I didnt revise cos I never had. I found it hard and I basically flopped. Gopt 4's rather than my expected 6's and 7's. I couldn't go to college and study Economics A Level, Business & Politics.

So no you're not late. Revise now and you'll do well.

I now study BTEC Business & I.T. I realised after that A Levels aren't for me because I don't/won't revise. So in one way, I'm glad I did bad in GCSE's.

Final note, whislt GCSE's are important, I'd say if you wanna go Uni then A Levels are what you are judged upon the most.
