Quick update- Exam tips

Ok guys,

So some of you may or may not know that I am in Year 11.
I have my mocks starting tomorrow and to say the least I'm a little nervous, although I have done GCSE's before these mocks feel like the start of the examination journey which my teachers like to remind me is 'very important and will affect the rest of your life'. They sure do know how to put the pressure on don't they!

I've got biology, chemistry and English Lit tomorrow and I should probably be revising now because I'm not prepared in the slightest!
However if you are going through the same thing as me then you need to remember that at the end of the day MOCKS AREN'T REAL! You should just treat them as a practice run and learn from your mistakes ready for the ones at the end of the year because they are the only ones that matter at the end of the day and employees aren't going to look at your mock scores, maybe not even your real GCSE's in great detail.

As I said earlier I have already done my core science GCSE and got a B which I am very happy with!
With this experience I would like to give you a few, small but valuable tips (for me anyway!)

1. Get there with time to spare so you can calm yourself and be in the 'zone' for when the exam starts

2. Don't over revise- if you feel like you just can't take anymore revision for that night STOP because it just won't go in.
3, Stay calm- at the end of the day it isn't the end of the world if you fail, there is always a chance to have another go even in the real GCSE's and 10 years down the line your exam results wont be important anymore!

SO....
Just remember to stay calm and trust in what you know because all you can do is try your personal best and no one can ask anymore from you!
