scared like so scared like unbelievably scared
unprepared even though I've done basically every past paper I could get my hands on
don't be! the fact that you're scared means you actually give a **** so don't worry... Honestly the examiner wants to award you as much as possible think of the examiner like a friend who you're trying to explain a problem to... trust me everything will be just fine if you cant do something leave it no point wasting time leave like 30 min at the end to go for the ones that weren't immediately obvious... even then play with idea draw a diagram if it helps... decompose the problem... get rid of words that don't make sense to you and replace them ALSO SLEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE... u can cram for RS u can cram for geography or whatever but for Maths you cannot be sleep deprived I swear the number of times I missed a 9 in mocks because of simple **** is ridiculous and I personally blame it on the other subject that I had to cram... if you feel unprepared don't honestly you and I both half the country doesn't give a dam... WALK IN THERE AND ACE IT CAUSE YOU KNOW YOU ARE A BOSS... but don't be cocky and not go through ur **** that would be stupidity

I was stuck at an 8 like throughout the year since like year 10 the last mock I was a mark away from a 9 and my teachers like at least ur consistent then proceeds to give me a 7 predicted...
o o f that sucks! when i was in year 10 i was predicted an 8 i got a 6 moved down my set, got a 5 stayed the same set, I was NEVER predicted any higher, and my teacher only expected me to get a 6, however i upped my game and i got a 7 cause i actually started trying in class... well done on that 1 mark near a 9 tho!

Have anyone done the IGCSE in year 10?
My school has and barely passed and my school is making us do the GCSE for maths
That's piss taking since all of us has 3 exams to do even though we pass the IGCSE in year 10

Are you prepared?


I did a lot of papers which I would get roughly 40 marks on but continue to lose stupid marks on things like algebra and surds but I would say Im more prepared than before. What about you?
