Didn’t study gcse at year 10

Hi.
I’ll become year 11 on September…. So real soon
And the concern is I actually didn’t study anything during summer and Y10. Erm. I got about 40% average on my end of year exams.
I don’t know what to do and I’m so scared about it. Is there enough time for me?? I want all 9. Plus I’m Asian. Parents are DEFINITELY mad at me…. Pls help

The subjects I take are
Math
English lang
English lit
Biology
Chem
Physics
Music
Geography
Classical civilisation.

It’s ok, you can turn it around. Just start studying like 1-2 hours a day. No need to do an insane amount, a few hours is enough.
For maths:
First, make sure you know most of the content. You don’t need to know all of it yet since you will be taught a lot of it during lessons in Y11. Then, do practice, practice, practice. That’s the best way to get better at answering GCSE questions.
For sciences:
Again, try learn as much content as you can. Once you know the content very well, work on exam technique and answering questions exactly the way the examiner wants you to (you can do this by doing practice questions, and checking the markscheme for them).

Happy to help a fellow Asian lol
