End Of Year Exams coming up, and I know nothing.

I have EOY's coming up and they'll be used (partially) as a way to predict my grades for Year 11. I have 5 weeks left and I'm doing 11 subjects. I'm meant to be getting all Grade 7+ in all my exams (and in some a Grade 9). I haven't started revising, and just been mucking about for the past 4 years. The exams are all full GCSE papers. Any advice?

revise as much as you can from now. any revision is good revision and even if you don’t get the exact grades you’re predicted, it’s much better than doing nothing. start with practice papers to find out what you really don’t know and revise that first :smile:

I've started revising on topics I'm strong on, but mostly making notes. My core subjects are pretty weak and I've been trying to improve on them but don't know how 😭. Thanks for the advice though 👍️. I'm going to try doing some practice papers because I never really do them.

Hi @Abdul1ah

If you have been given a topic list then I would recommend going through it and splitting it up over the next 5 weeks so that you can cover as much of the content as possible.
Use this as an opportunity to explore different revision methods to find what works best for you. This could include flashcards, mindmaps, watching videos and answering practise questions.

Hope that helps and good luck for your exams!
