GCSE Lock In GYG

Hey!! After some thinking I have decided to start a GYG to try and help me to begin to lock in before my first written exam on the 26th of April (only 36 days???).

Mock grades from January:

Maths iGCSE Edexcel: 9
Biology iGCSE Edexcel: 9
Chemistry iGCSE Edexcel: 9
Physics iGCSE Edexcel: 9
English Lit iGCSE Edexcel: 9
English Lang iGCSE Edexcel: 9
French iGCSE Cambridge: 9
Spanish iGCSE Cambridge: 9
Italian iGCSE Cambridge: 9
Add Maths OCR FSMQ: A
Geography AQA: 9
DT AQA: 9 (but very close to grade boundary and not including NEA)

I really want to keep these grades and not do worse in the real thing. Please if anyone has any tips or ideas (or if you want any tips) please reply to this thread. I will try and update as necessary over Easter when I properly lock in. Hopefully, this keeps me motivated and helps others stay motivated!!

Good luck guys!

Hi there!

Welcome to this community - those are fantastic set of predicated grades overall🥳 and that's wild that you do 12 GCSEs in total and manage to keep it all up (really inspiring):yikes:

Tagging others (tag others who you feel may be interested too!)
