Any Yr 10s here who think they "failed" their end-of-year mocks?

Failure is definitely subjective. But it's not really a bad thing, especially if recognised early (so it can then be corrected before it really counts).
We're curious to hear how you did versus what you were hoping for. Happy to provide any specific tips/answers for Maths and the Sciences too.

These are my results:
Maths 7
Chemistry 8
English Literature 4
English Language 6
French 6
Physics 7
Biology 7
Computer Science 4
History 6
RS 8
Was a little disappointed as I am aiming for 7s, 8s and 9s but there is time to improve...

i feel like i failed my mocks, but i had normal exams recently which i did well in but i wouldnt count them because my teachers made them easy
English Lit+Lang - 9
Maths - 8
Science - 7
History - 6
Business - 6
i want to self study RS, sociology and statistic because im homeschooled but go to online school so what they provide is limited

I got an average of 6-7's when I was aiming for 8's. I'm trying to get into A-levels at a school with lots of competition so I should be getting 7-8's.
I know I still have a year, but in a year I will be doing double the amount of exams. 😭
I'm getting kinda stressed out about the amount of content I need to cover for my GCSE's. Especially since the exams seemed really easy but my marks sucked? In particular, I did loads of work for science and I thought I did pretty good but my score suggests otherwise.

Probably suggest focusing again more on essay subject skills for History and Business. Any particular Science which you're struggling more with? A bit of practice work should be able to help with Maths. Very well done for English!
Ah. Maybe you can find a second school to cover these other subjects? Also consider if you have enough time to squeeze in some more courses in only one (very busy) year.

We really feel the frustration and worry. Quite a few things to unpack here...
Firstly, content can feel overwhelming going into Y11 when you still see stuff left. Generally schools will finish content by around Easter of Y11 if not earlier, but the honest truth is sometimes they don't - or worse, they rush and tell their students everything has been covered, but not properly. Protect yourself by taking stock now - how much exactly is left to cover in each subject and does that seem doable? Start teaching yourself where the answer is no.
Your personal targets are quite reasonable in the time you have (and could even ve exceeded). Everyone feels a little worried going into Y11, but only because there's an anticipation of the negative because you feel unprepared. Complete some actions now to feel more prepared and you'll start to be less worried (and perhaps even a bit excited).
You may have more exams, but that doesn't mean more stress. Learn and become better, then the exam is just a measurement. Measure once or thrice, it shouldn't be any additional burden if done correctly.
Lastly, if "exams seemed easy, but marked sucked", then that suggests deeper issues with the way you're learning (e.g. just memorising rather than understanding). Do you think this at least might apply? Just say if so and we would be happy to provide some guidance.

Yeah definitely. I struggle more with chemistry, like grasping the concepts.
That would be a bit too expensive lol, I've picked out subjects that i'll find easy. I've done sociology in the past with this school but they took it off this year for some reason which i am really disappointed about and I'm going to do Islam for RS which should be easy as I'm already Muslim and take Islamic Studies at school.

Thank you, this is some great advice!
I'll have a look at what is left of my courses and what I can do at home.
I think my marks were low because of my exam technique. I will try to practice more exam questions, but do you know if there is any other way to improve exam technique?
