hi @sconnolly249 its hard in the way that the pressure is on more. You're preparing for your final exams so it's definitely the most important year. However the content will have increased in difficulty each year of your GCSEs so I don't think the jump will be anything you can't handle. A lot of the work is actually going over previous topics and consolidating this knowledge. I think the reason people say its harder is because you will be tested on all the knowledge you've learnt in the past 2 /3 years which can be a lot and theres so many subjects to cover. Don't worry too much though, it's what you've been preparing for the 5 years so you can definitely do it!

All the best,

It can be hard but honestly if you’ve made it through y10 there’s no reason to place y11 on some pedestal.
Consistency is key, even like 20 mins of revision can make a big difference if you are keeping those efforts throughout the year.
Also, find a way to revision a bit less boring, I use an app called Study Bunny which is a real cute way to motivate myself, and there’s also apps like Flora and Forest which u can use
Good luck! x
