I'm scared that I failed my GCSEs
I finished 2/3 of my GCSEs and I'm so scared that I failed them (especially after both maths papers which went horribly and I didn't even manage to answer half of the questions).
My mocks were decent (Grade 4/5s), but the real exams were so much harder and everyone around me is talking about how easy the papers were.
And I need to get into 6th form but judging by how badly the exams went, I don't think that's a possibility.
Any advice? I wish I could go back in time and start revising earlier. I'll forever regret starting revision so late.
If you're yr 10 and reading this START REVISING; DONT BE LIKE ME

first off, i'm sure it'll all work out, no matter what. you can do re-sits, college - my point is, you're never doomed, and there's always a way to fix everything.
i'm not sure about your sixth form, but we need grade 6 minimum for mine. the world isn't over, you could probably still get you're required grades if you got them in the mocks. in my experience, people like to say they did well in exams that actually went sh*t. also, the exams aren't over yet. personally, if i were you, i'd work ridiculously hard these next two weeks (make sure to eat and sleep and take care of yourself too!), and try to smash these last few exams. if you need any help with anything, just message me and i'd be happy to!
try not to stress yourself out about it too much. people will always support you, and there's always a way to fix things if for some reason they don't work out.
i believe in you, you've got this, good luck!!

Everyone focuses on their mistakes after the exams - not all the stuff you got right! It doesn't matter that you couldn't answer half the questions; think about the way you managed to answer half of the questions. That's more than a lot of people.
My mum always says that the ones who say the test was easy are often those that make more mistakes, so don't let them dishearten you <3
There's still paper 3 coming up, so revise for that well and you can definitely bring up your marks & grade.
Please don't give up - if you do even worse on the final paper, you will have brought about the very destiny you feared. You can still change your grade massively if you just put in the effort now
