Question

Urgent , to do with GCSE, please read and answer, easy 10 points?

Answer 1

The one thing I can say to you mocks are absolute trash



I done so bad in mine got my GCSE results today and I passed :) did so well with no revision i guess im lucky.

Answer 2

1.English- C

Maths- C

additional science- C,C

I.C.T- C

Business studies- 2 B's

Music- D

History- D



D,D,C,C,C,C,C,B,B and to include the alan test grades, B,B=13 GCSE's



2. Predicted grades were all C's, i had really bad luck before some exam, one example is getting hit by a car 15 minutes into the exam, Obviously i was late, i'm suprised i managed to pass it. But overall i'm happy with my results.



3. Not as stressful as you think, revising was actually quite fun, or i'm just weird?



4. pretty much, but only for a month, i was revising all day everyday in my exam month.



5. Yes



6. All easy if you revise and remember, being late for your exam could jeopardize the whole exam, make sure you get there early.



7. Business studies was quite easy, i only revised the day before the exam and managed to get an A* in my exam, unfortuneatly, my CW was only a B. I didn't do any of the rest, so i can't say much about them. Coursework is easy, you probably mess around a lot in BS in year 10, but you will certainly buckle down next year.



8. Week before my first exam. That was basically may 22nd.



9. Revise all day everyday, eat junk food and energy drinks. Not my best advice but it worked for me.

I would revise 3 days before the specific exam and go crazy with revising really.



10. Year 11 wen't insanely quick, people do exaggerate about the "Pressure", it isn't that bad, just get all your coursework done, sit back and relax till the start of may maybe and start revising.



11. Normally 3 days before my exam, for about 8 hours a day, it goes fast, trust me. If your exams are cramped together, just revise as much as you can even if you have one exam after another, just try to cramp the revision in as much as you can.



Good luck.

Answer 3

That's a lot of questions..



1. I got 3 A*s and 9 As (not including RE, which I got an A in, but it's only technically half a GCSE).

2. My predicted grades were pretty much right, but a bit lower than what I got. I'm surprised by some and not by others.

3. I found it quite stressful but it was mainly the coursework that stressed me out. The revision wasn't too bad.

4. Only a bit and that was towards the end when I was attempting to revise.

5. In some subjects I did better in my mocks, in some I did worse.

6. Science - hard if I didn't revise. Maths - easy. English - easy but tedious.

7. I only did geography out of the ones you've picked. I'll be honest with you, I hated it. But I didn't like where I sat, I hated the person I was sat next to. But I didn't like the things we studied and there was a LOT of coursework. But some people enjoyed it, so you might like it, it's just a matter of opinion. To prepare, start revising EARLY. I left it til the week before to revise and I regret it so much, I could have got an A* if I started revising in Easter when we were told to.

8. As I just said, I started revising about a week or two before each exam. I didn't do too badly in the end but if I' revised harder who knows what I could have got. To be honest some people need to revise a lot more than others to get the same grades, you just have to judge for yourself.

9. Different people prefer revising in different ways. Some like to read a page, read it again, cover it and jot down as much as they can remember. Then they will repeat until they know it all. Personally, this is my favourite method. Other people like being artistic and find it useful to draw spider diagrams, these people tend to associate words and phrases with different colours to help them in the exam. It's just about finding what works best for you.

10. I am quite happy but I'd have like a few more A*s. But my results are still really good compared to others, probably above average so I should be happy. I found some subjects hard and some quite easy. Some parts of maths I found impossible, others were dead simple.

11. Science, history and maths I revised a lot for because there's loads to learn. As for others, I think I revised less... I can't really remember, even though it was only a few months ago.



Hope this is of any help. Don't worry about it, you get through it pretty quickly and it's so nice to relax when it's over :)

Answer 4

you really shouldn't be worried about it if you are, just do the best you can.. it will be fine.

1. b's,c's and d's

2. b's and mostly c's

3. i didn't find it that stressful, only if i found something hard then i tend to find it stressful.

4. no, not really.

5. a few i did, and some i didnt

6. science - for me was ok, maths - hard (i hate maths, i suck at it thats why) english lit - easy english - okish..

7. i'm not sure i didn't take those, i did drama & art ect..

but i know friends that did and they said it was fine and varys in different projects.

8. when the teachers tell you and mostly always look at notes at stuff to its in your brain.

9. i guess just do it, it's bad not to, make lots of notes in class! only do a little bit of revise a day, like an hour or something.

10. i was happy with some and disspointed with others, i managed to get into college and i'm doing good and what i want to do.

11. do about an hour of revise a night.. i suggest make a revsion timetable weekly.

---

you'll be fine! just do the best you can.

you've got awhile till most exams. so use your time well. take notes at every chance you get..

:)

1. B,B,B,B,C,D,D,D,D,E

2. Predicted grades were C and under, yes i was surprised!

3. Didn't find it too stressful, get loads of post it notes for around your room. your exams will be in summer so sit out in the sunshine to revise, make it much more chilled out.

5. Yes i did better than in mocks.

6. science medium, maths hard, english easy. it depends on your personal strengths

7.Food easy, useful for the rest of your life. learn some recipe's in advance if possible. geog also useful, more difficult, get a map. business again useful, more boring. humanities wasn't a GCSE when i took mine,

8.i started revising in year 11, its not necessary before then the school gives you everything you will need as and when you need it.

9. get loads of post it notes for around your room. your exams will be in summer so sit out in the sunshine to revise, make it much more chilled out. (i also had a jug of cocktail but that's your choice!)

10. no i didn't find yr 11 hard, yes i was happy with my results but ive never needed them 5 years on so they aren't majorly important in the grand scheme of things!

Cough Drop

Answer 8

1. i feel that my grades were personal to me and they are currently irreleveant to how you are feeling and how my answer will make you feel.2. i personally felt my predicted grades were too high and they were changed per my request to a grade that i felt suited my curriculum better. 3. exam weeks, revising etc were very stressful- a method to relieve the stress was to set up a schedule, including proper revision/study time and more importantly sections of the week for rest and relaxation, whether that be reading, meditation, watching tv, video games, as long as the recreational activity is limited, it should be fine.4. for me personally my social life was enhanced as being in the same position as so many people my age created conversation and friends were there to shoulder the burden and the pressure.5. how i did on mocks and the real exam depended on the subject, i suggest you try your best and look at the mocks as a way to show improvement rather than a prediction. 6. depending on the type of exam, and you as an individual, only you can determine how you feel about these subjects, however it should not increase in difficulty overall, moreover simply express a difference.7. all your options are key to a vocational career, as said previously only you can determine what is best for you with the career of your choice. to prepare for these, including all of your exams and coursework, seek as much as help as possible from teachers and those around you, taking full advantage of the resources you are given.8. i based my revision segments on the exam, and at what time it came, for example, one exam was in january, and as i still wanted to enjoy christmas, i made a point to take a more casual approach to revision before the 25th of december, and then really hit the books from boxing day onwards. you can only be as prepared as you allow yourself to be, and the majority of the information you need should have been already have been absorbed if you paid attention in class.9. one good revision tip is to have a notice board or whiteboard of some sort, then write down facts you are struggling to recollect on the board, and position it in an area where you go regularly, eg your mirror etc. then, on a daily basis you will be revising without even thinking about it.10. year 11 and its difficulties reflect the preperation that goes into it. revise hard, tets easy, revise easy, and test hard. the choice is yours. 11. each subjects revision depended on how i found that subject, and how i felt personally, again the choice is yours. i really hoped this has helped, the important thing is not to panic or forget to relax as well as revise, and im sure you will do fine.

Answer 10

I dont know whats goin on with this question on my computer but it keeps highlightin everything - really annoying but oh well, I like to help :)



1. What grades did you get? I got an A in both Maths and RE, I got B's in Science, English Language, Computing and Statistics and I got C's in Geography, German, Art, English Literature and last years Science GCSE



2.My predicted grades were pretty much the same as what I got. I was predicted A's in Maths and RE which I felt really nervous about getting and didn't think I would so I was happy about that :) Everything I got a C in I was predicted a B, so....but i'm okay with it.



3. Did you find it stessful? I did towards the last 2-3 months. Once January comes they start really coming down on you to revise all the time and keep up to date and do loads of practise papers. And in April, a month before they started, they were really pressuring us but if you keep on top of revision, you will be fine. If your school has exam leave then you will find it easier and feel less pressured and more free.



4. Was my social life ruined? Not really, I revised on weeknights, when I wouldn't usually see friends anyway. And on weekends, I revised for about an hour or two so there was loads of time for a social life.



5. I DID do better than my mocks :D



6. Science was okay, it was alot of revision for three different sciences Biology, Chemisty and Physics but I gained a C last year and a B this year. Physics was the hardest one, it used to be Chemistry, I used to HATE Chemisty, so I revised my butt of for it, and began to actually understand it, and ended up finding the exam easy and got a B :) English was okay but you need to really revise and understand everything. Maths was hard because I did Higher Tier and was expected an A.



7. Out of the options you took, I only did Geography, And I got a C in that. You should create little flashcards and diagrams. Draw out a picture and label all the parts, then stick it on your bedroom wall and once you know all the infomation, make a new one.



8. Around January time. But the earlier the better. If I started revising in November time. I might have another A and I would feel even better with myself :)



9. There are lots of different ways suchas, playing revision games with people or online, testing yourself, doing practise papers or just reading out of a book, but do whatever way you find easiest and works best for you.



10. Year 11 was alot more serious than Year 10, you can't afford to mess around really. You need to get your head into your books. You can revise and revise the months leading up to exam time and then afterwards you can enjoy your summer and do whatever you want! Just concentrate in class and DONT let other people distract you from your work. And do all your homework and coursework. I was happy with my grades yeah.



11. I built up my revision over time. In January I started doing 30 minutes every other night. Then in March time I would be doing 45 minutes six nights a week (gave myself saturdays off :P) and by late April/May time when the exams were just around the corner I did about an hour six nights a week. And when the exams were actually happening, I was constantly with my head in a revision book.



But it all pays off, when you open your results this time next year and see A's and B's you will feel so happy with yourself that your hard work payed off and you will feel more inspired in the future to work hard because you know you will succeed



Good luck!
