Y10 exam week in 7 weeks

My exam week is in 7 weeks and I’m not sure how to revise efficiently for my Year 10 exam week. I do AQA GCSE and Cambridge IGCSE English, OCR Latin and Classics, Edexcel IGCSE Spanish and History and IGCSE Edexcel Maths. I also do IGCSE Edexcel for all my sciences

Sounds like you are at a Private school? Is there no guidance from your teachers?

how strong are you feeling in all your subjects?
bc i mean this probably isn't very helpful but i started revising like less than 2 weeks before my year 10 exams and still managed to pull all 9s so like don't unnecessarily stress urself out about it because it's only year 10 exams and they don't really mean that much

if ur really trying to prepare yourself just try and make notes/flashcards for your topics so you don't have to re-write them when it comes to actual mocks or gcses, save the proper past papers for year 11 don't waste them now bc you really don't need them. use exam questions online if you must and like one past paper per subject at the most bc you should save them for later

basically just don't stress urself out too much buddy it's only year 10 it's mainly for you to get a feel of how exams go and how you revise best

use your y10 exams to just make loads of revision materials. obviously you’ll want to do as well as possible but see it as more of a long term investment towards your actual gcses. spend your time making really good resources whether it be flashcards, summary pages etc (personally i did a mix of both depending on the nature of the subject and the content). i did quite a lot of revision in y10, mainly making materials but even just making them will be beneficial as i ended up doing really well in y10, and was miles ahead of everyone else in terms of how many revision materials i had made by the time y11 revision time came around and was so glad id spent the time in y10
