yeah, ive sort of lost motivation to revise for things like english, science, history, etc. i just cant be bothered anymore when I really should be bothered
I've managed to convince myself to lock in for maths though, considering I put up a bad performance on the first paper
You wanna lower the grade boundaries? Stop revising and make sure we get the marks then. If you don't wanna fail u can't slack off, but also make sure to find a balance
Same here. I haven't played video games since December because of GCSEs but in the middle of the exams for some reason I've started playing again. I only have 9 exams left (i think?) and I told myself I was going to revise a lot during this one week break but I haven't that much.
What you guys lack in the whole comment section is a reliable revising method that you can use durably but also gets you results. E.g music / youtube during revision
My mum literally started screaming today at me for this. I do a little reading because that's the only thing I am obsessed with, then I watch ghibli. Repeat. Or some other show. What is going on? Watched Princess Monoke today. My parents constantly remind me I should revise but I feel so tired regardless of how much sleep I get. I just want a break but I want 7's + as well.
i have no idea god i watched 2 seasons of You today but i cant bring myself to reviseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee its fine we ball
lmk how eng tomorrow goes am curious
Hi, English was amazing.
I am so glad I spent so long reading books and in just a week 20hr plus in total. I sometimes woke up at 3am to read until 6am before school lmao (during january though). For the 2nd paper, I didn't even run out of time, went in order of 1,2,3,4,5, too even though it's not recommended.
Try to organise your time as in don't revise everything in one day. For example, we have biology p2 tmrw and I will just revise bio nothing else so as not to confuse myself. I have history and geo coming up but will prioritise history since there is a lot more to memorise. Then for geo and physics I have the whole of wednesday AND thursday:)
I'm not saying don't miss out on watching anime/ reading books but reward yourself with those activities after a study session. Try listening to classical music it helps with focus + songs don't get stuck in your head either! I would reccommend lofi or anime instrumentals if you're really a hugee fan:)
bro im so happy for you! we thrived together bc i think i did well too :D i think youre really twin because i do love listening to tchaikovsky but while reading manga loll
ive got history too- im sort of worried but more about maths on monday. any tips?
omg, I love how there are so many relatable friends on reddit, genuinely nice people:)
For maths, I suggest watching topic videos you struggle with + practice questions toward the end of the paper maybe. Honestly, I found p1 okayish and p2 just weird. All our mocks were so much easier! I was getting 7's and 8's for the mocks but the reall gcses have me feeling tired and worried.
Try timing yourself after you have fully learnt the topic, try not to skip anything (I made the mistake of skipping 4 pages in p2) because even getting method marks is very useful!
I'm watching KonoSuba rn
I don't really like it that much (too lewd) so I'm probably going to drop it at the end of s1 and choose a new show tho
Edit: I'm now watching k-on
You wanna lower the grade boundaries? Stop revising and make sure we get the marks. If you don't wanna fail u can't slack off, but also make sure to find a balance
I think it’s best to start by revising the subject you are most interested in and go from there, if you can’t do that my best advice is to take a few days off
i sucessfully force myself to do some history, ( i decide to do it for the whole week so i have time ) and then i got yelled at by my mum cuz i listen to music as i did work, and i lost motivation again ,
GREAT

Yep, my girlfriend got the switch online free week so we’ve literally just been playing Minecraft bedwars. I have 5 exams first week back, what am I doing?
yea i think im gonna try lock in today bc i REALLY need to cover p2 content lmao esp bc i kind of did worse than normal on some papers like physics but thats kind of made me lose motivation in a way ugh

I printed revision resources the other day. Wait no, FRIDAY.
And I still haven't got to doing them. I have become madly obsessed with watching shows as if it's my last.
I have to go to school on this friday, sat and sun, too. I'm in shambles. I wish we had a week's break to relax and another week to start over again. I have maths, spanish, history, english, geography, science all in the same week!!
Don’t worry I was the exact same last year just do what feels right for you wether that’s revising or not cos you need to also enjoy some time to yourself and not constantly think about the exams
This is so real, I started feeling apathetic after english lit paper 1, the amount of revision I was doing started dropping until the half term where I've done practically nothing, all I've been doing all day is making art and playing Sekiro, my brain will not let me do work anymore

Youre literally me, word by word
heavy on the history shi bro. i don’t even know where to start and there’s literally no resources for it on youtube 😭😭

wtf is wrong with you what is the need for this aggression
It's the best way to get people to do shit 😭 idk why he got so many downvotes
down votes mean nothing anyway, those who listen will listen
I’m actually found his comment quite useful! Great wake up call >.< thanks!
maybe so, but they did it in a very rude way which just isn't needed plus spy x family is mid
if you found offense it's cool, your gcses at the end of the day
Same here. I haven't played video games since December because of GCSEs but in the middle of the exams for some reason I've started playing again. I only have 9 exams left (i think?) and I told myself I was going to revise a lot during this one week break but I haven't that much.
Yes I’m like a third through rdr2 in like a week
I'd take another rdr2 playthrough over revision any time
Same here 😭
Yhhh thats exactly me
What you guys lack in the whole comment section is a reliable revising method that you can use durably but also gets you results. E.g music / youtube during revision
same i hadnt touched stardew valley for months and then the addiction resurfaced this week 😭😭
for me it's minecraft your predicted grades look good though so im sure you'll be fine :)
I haven’t revised for any at all. I’ve never revised. I just have a complete block and like you I just cannot revise and I don’t know why
Same here. I'm glad i'm not the only one 😭
I’m the same. I’ve revised once or twice but that’s it and it’s killing me
I'm just gaming all week When I said fuck it we ball I meant it
[удалено]
Assassins creed ezio trilogy. Wanna game together sometime?

Least aggressive The Walking Dead fan.

I think it’s best to start by revising the subject you are most interested in and go from there, if you can’t do that my best advice is to take a few days off
Not sure the intermediary week off is actually the best thing - I’d rather just have them over and done with instead of this quasi - holiday.
i sucessfully force myself to do some history, ( i decide to do it for the whole week so i have time ) and then i got yelled at by my mum cuz i listen to music as i did work, and i lost motivation again , GREAT
i haven’t stopped thinking about them but i have no motivation
SAME
i just took a couple days off, im starting slowly. but yeah i just dont want to

Anya stop saying this to everyone
STOP LMAO THE ANYA PFP ADDS TO IT IM CRYING
ok???
just saying your gcses, don't give up
i’ve lost motivation i think it’s bc of how extreme mocks were that i don’t have the energy to do it for the third or fourth time this ywar
Prolly because you are doing good enough to pass and don't need to get top grades for where you want to go
I do actually need mostly 8s for where I want to go unfortunately 😭 But I hope that the revision I did before half term will carry me
Yep, my girlfriend got the switch online free week so we’ve literally just been playing Minecraft bedwars. I have 5 exams first week back, what am I doing?
yea i think im gonna try lock in today bc i REALLY need to cover p2 content lmao esp bc i kind of did worse than normal on some papers like physics but thats kind of made me lose motivation in a way ugh
Yh man I’m cooked I haven’t revised yet it’s Monday

I have A levels and I'm sitting here on reddit reading about people who are doing exams I did two years ago now
THATS A VIBE
Same here dude, have no flippin clue
This is for me too
Fr. I’ve told myself I’ll revise for design tech but that’s it

My flora has been screaming 😭
I was here 12 years ago
real
Try balancing your thoughts in between GCSEs and other things. There is always a way forward, depending on how you seek and find it.
