Failed GCSE help

My skl is utterly horrible, teachers leaving, substitutes on their phone, in the wrong lesson, or teachers teaching us year 7 crap over and over again, I haven’t been taught how to revise, I only revised using past paper, how ever my memory is so bad I’ve been to the doctors for a few times for that, I forget what I revised so I guessed more than half of the paper, even MATHS and ENGLISH
which I need, I might fail that and worried for my results day, is it shameful to resit bc I failed even though I had like 4-5 years to revise and learn?

Lots of people resit english and maths, I assure you you're not alone in that. Don't worry too much about it as there's nothing you can do about the past. If you fail, you can try again and use your experience to improve. I'm sure they'll be people irl or on here that are going through the same that you can use for support :smile:

Don’t worry about it, it shouldn’t be at all embarrassing and it definitely sounds like it isn’t your fault if you don’t do well. Just focus on the last few exams for now and enjoy your summer holiday when you get there. If you really think you failed maths or English, you could spend a bit of time working on them over the summer but it’s pointless to stress about them now (easier said than done).
