please don’t overwork!! take the rest
of the summer slowing down or u will burn urself out! gcses may seem scary but u need to avoid stressing when it really isn’t necessary, start hardcore revision before exams but the rest of the time just go slowly. if you really want to prepare still, try reading
your textbooks for english and just familiarise yourself with anything you are expected to know at this point and read books! it might sound nerdy but as someone who left year 11 this year just expand ur vocab from this point for those great english lang marks😭

Do what you feel comfortable with doing. I think it's really good that you're focusing on revision, but if it's not making you happy or it's exhausting you in any way then stop. Also try not to think of exams as some kind of be all end all because they really REALLY aren't. You can achieve almost anything you want to without good grades. Don't put pressure and stress on yourself, just enjoy the summer and do what YOU want to do exams be damned.
