sure - note - we did not do english language and biology for our mocks
English lit - 4
Food tech - 5
History - 9
Maths and Media studies - 6
Chem - 8
Phy - 7
our schools grade boundaries for english were too high, even though we did well on the tests our grades were lower as we did only 1 paper out of 2s for most subjects. the teachers also stated that the coursework would determine our final grade and in y10 we did none of our courseworks.
i am planning to do pharmacy for now - but it could change anytime, it probably will be healthcare related courses. dw abt further maths just practice and u ll be fine . gl

Hello
So I have pretty straight forward question. I'm taking my igcse in 1month and I take triple sciences, efl, environmental, math extended. So I study and do ptp revision pretty much all the time (81% of my time) and I would like to know if it's just me or did anyone experience similar extreme levels of fixation on ur exams, to a point where every passing minute makes u feel a bundle of nerves and anxiety, eh? I know igcse's isn't a big deal and I shouldn't burden myself too much about it, but somewhere along the way you get overstimulated by ur surroundings + family pressure, blah bluh. Just please leave an advice, on what helped you gain perspective, coz going down this mental rabbithole I fear getting burnt out too soon.

hi, first of all good luck with your igcse, you are gonna smash them for sure. i was in a similar situation too, i studied soooo much for my gcse s and people my parents included would tell me not to keep revising and take some rest, but even with some rest i still feel drained and anxious when the thought of exam would come and most of my friends who were getting 9s in subject would always tell me they burn out after lots or some revision. so i think its very common to be anxious before exams or during revision. but remember you need rest aswell. so i would literally be so depressed and kind of down during the season, but sometimes i just go home and sleep without thinking of anything. a nap could do so much and make u feel better. also taking showers whenever u feel kinda down when revising also helps a lot. listening to music helps too. we always do better than we think we would do. never did i know i would get all these grades as i always thought my anxiousness before exams and my procrastination sometimes due to burning out would affect my grades a lot but trust me all those feeling you feel now will be worth when u get your results. but TAKE REST - it is the biggest lesson i learnt during my y11 it helps so much improving confidence and boosting productivity. always talk to ppl u trust about the way you feel but btw its very common afaik. good luck
