Year 11- GCSE Exams 2009!?

Question

Hi, I'm worried about the exams this year, I'm in Year 11... anyone who is also in Year 11 and wants to talk about revision methods, mock results, subjects they are doing, future plans etc? I think I just need to talk to someone to get the nerves out of my system, and know that I'm not the only one who is really worried and panicking.

Please don't answer if you're gonna say something stupis, you'll be wasting my time and your time.

Thanks anyone who answers helpfully!!

Answer 2

Im not in year 11 but i was last year and i felt the same way as you, just do as much revision as you can and make sure your doing revision in a way that helps you learn and i know its difficult but try not to worry too much, the more revision you do the more confident you will feel when it comes to the exam. although don't over do it lol but i panicked at each exam and i came out with much better grades than i expected so the best advice i can give you is -Just do your best and then you wont think well i could have done better and Good luck! =)

Answer 3

i am in year 11 last year i did OCR 21st century science one exam in january and the rest (three exams and two courseworks) in june/may. I also did Statistics (handling data, ask maths teacher) which the top sets or higher ability classes do. I go to a church school so I also did Religious studies which is so easy. Year ten was not that hard in the beginning you are bombarded with home/coursework. Year 11 is a lot worse. Good luck

Answer 4

i went through the same thing last year..

don't think about it too much and don't think you have a lot of time to revise before the exam comes.



start revising now..... practice past papers .....And revise through your notes really hard or you are just going to regret it...

it happened to me i didn't start revising on time though i passed all my GCSE i still think i could have done better if i revised.



just wish i had someone to tell me how important it was



LEARN HARD and focus on now if you pass your GCSE you can do anything you want in the future.



hope i helped

Answer 5

Hey... I'm in year 11 and am quite stressed about exams too. I think it would be useful for us both if we swapped revision techniques! Feel free to email me because my first exam is in May... and it's a german speaking one! The one I'm worried about the most... but anyway email me and we can talk more :)

Answer 6

I'm in exactly the same position!

I get totally stressed about exams and I never seem to be able to revise..

It's A-levels that are killing me though- the deadline is this week (for applications) and I don't know what subjects to take! It's horrible having to make such big decisions..



I know this is totally unhelpful but I thought it might be nice to know someone else is panicking (you've helped me!)

Answer 7

I am in year 11. I am very excited an can't wait until it starts so it can finish really quick :D dont worry if you really revise and put your head into it and you really believe you can pass with good grades you will be fine think positive!!!!

don't worry too much, pay attention in class, just practise past years questions, make some interesting notes and most importantly, make sure you understand the concept...study every chapter
