Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

I don’t want to give up...

As you can tell from the title, I’m struggling so much.... with my GCSE’s. My goal is to get 8s and 9s but that’s never gonna happen. I wanna believe in myself I always end up doubting myself because I believe I will never get those grades. It’s just seems impossible...

I don’t wanna fail...

I desperately want those grades and I will do anything.

Have you got a revision schedule, do you stick to it and are you actually using a method that works for you with the ability to have free time

I use flash cards and test myself on it. The problem is self confidence.

I feel you’re telling me just not even try... and just give up

Should I give up?...

You'll be fine. Honestly, it may seem like it right now, but GCSE's aren't that important in the grand scheme of things - so don't put so much pressure on yourself! If you get a couple of 7's, that's completely fine. My highest grade was one 8 and I was very proud of myself - and I'm not doing badly now, I just applied for Warwick uni.

Anything's possible, these aren't the be all end all! :yep:
