No, no, NO.
I am in a panic right now and my hands are shaking like mad and I can barely write, but here goes.
My mock exams start on 11 January and I’ve barely revised for shit. I’m an idiot. GOD DAMN IT, TELL ME I’M AN IDIOT PLEASE, I deserve it.
Why, Elm? Why? Shit shit shit SHIT SHIT! This is my fault. Utterly my fault.
I wrapped myself into a world of fantasy, thinking they wouldn’t come, THINKING I’d get my act together. But guess what? They HAVE come and I HAVEN’T got my act together.
I’m so stupid. SO stupid. Why didn’t I revise before? Why am I SO SHIT? Why can’t I just be damned normal and get my act together NOW, even when I’m panicking so badly I’m nearly crying? What’s wrong with me?
It’s too late. It’s too fucking late. I’m going to fail these because I just CAN’T BE ARSED TO REVISE and I didn’t take this seriously. Stupid, stupid, STUPID. What happened to the me that LOVED to learn and would actually REVISE for shit?
Oh my god. I feel like curling into a ball and ceasing to exist. That seems like an overreaction, but I’ve just realised how incredibly dumb I am.
Hopefully, these feelings will pass by the morning. I SHOULD have done more. I NEED to do more. WHY didn’t I?
They say it’s never too late, but for me it is, because I have no hope in hell of doing well now. That pathetic excuse for revision I did before is just that.
Fucking idiot.
I’m sorry, guys. I’m just really angry. I can’t take Christmas OR my birthday off now. Boo fucking hoo, do well in your exams then you moron.
From Elm 🙂
Don’t worry, exams matter less than you think!!! We are all brainwashed, things are different now to how they used to be 🙂
Exactly! 🙂 Thank you.
This should help you!: http://youtu.be/D-eVF_G_p-Y
Thanks! 🙂
So worries😋
No worries* 😂
If you revise one subject a day, thoroughly, starting now until your first mock, you will nail these exams :). Think about what exams you are most worried about then think specifically what topics you are worried about and revise them in one day.
I’ll do my best 🙂 Thank you so much, Fibit. You’re great at this.
🙂
Just have the best sleep ever, then wake up in the morning in the right head set to revise. If you’re panicking you won’t be able to revise ANYTHING, so tomorrow do whatever makes you feel calm, then make a revision plan so you feel slightly more in control. Good luck!

Couldn’t agree more 🙂
Thank you so much – I’ll definitely do that 🙂 I TRIED to do a revision plan before, but didn’t stick to it.
Your welcome 😊 try to make a plan that gives you space for breaks. Don’t cram and don’t try to work long hours. Also, when you’re revising put all distractions like your phone in another room so you can concentrate xx
Yeah, that’s awesome advice 🙂 Thanks again xx
Okay Elm relax the same thing happened to me. I did really well with my actual exams after my mocks. Just get your act together after your mocks and you will do well! Just do a subject a day until the exams and it should help! Even revise the key info on each topic! Its not the end of the world if you dont pass your mocks. They are called mocks for a reason.
But still, I’m going to be labelled as a failure if I don’t do well. Everybody expects me to, and if I DON’T pass them, I’m going to get the “What happened to you?” question.
But thank you so much. It’s difficult to remember that they’re just mocks when I hate myself for not revising for them. Your words honestly do help, though.
I’m glad I helped but go easy on your self !
I’ll TRY, but y’know me – easier said than done 🙂
I do but if you need to talk just text me !
Of course! 🙂
Good !
Dont worry about exams, espcially dont worry about mocks, there mocks for a reason no need to stress over them^-^ just calm down and do eevrything in your own time, take your birthday and christmas off their days yoh.should spend doing stuff you love and not worrying over tests:) just focus on keeping calm and make a revsion plan with plenty of breaks for yourslef
Thank you so much 🙂 I’ll try. It’s just so tricky NOT to stress, you know? I’ve got so many things I have to do, so much pressure – and that pressure’s mostly from myself.
Welcome:) well all youn can do is try,yeah true its really tricky. Well just take it one step at a time and do your best to try stay calm doing it
Exactly! 🙂
It’s fine. Everything will be okay. You have time to study just take it step to step. Get yourself organised and cleared up.
Hope my advice works,
Blog Girl xxx
It really will 🙂 Thank you so much, you amazing girl!
No problem xxx
Elm, chill!
You’ll ace these exams, just make a plan and don’t do too much!
Make notes on exactly the stuff your teachers briefed you about and don’t stress!
I managed to ace my summer exams in 3 weeks as I’d completely forgotten about them!
Good luck!
Luv
GeorgieGrl
Thank ou SO much, Georgie 🙂 You’re right. I CAN mamane this, I just need to get a handle on the stress.
Yeah keep going!
Merry Xmas!
Back at you! 🙂
😄
Try and view it as the end of the year, and something to try and enjoy. – Day.
I have no bloody idea why, but your comment got put in the spam folder 😦 Anyway, thanks!
You’ve got this, E. I’ll probs write more later but as of now I’m going to be sick, again XD.
Love you!
You doing okay? Love you too! 😀
I haven’t thrown up yet again… so better!
GOOD! 🙂
Panicking won’t help you Elm. Just calm down. If you start revising now, I know you’ll ace that exam. Just don’t stress it, don’t panick, calm down and focus. That’s all.
EXACTLY! Argh, I NEED to take your advice. Thank you, Jerrod!
We’re all betting on your success. Is there anything we can do? *shrugs*
I don’t think so – its up to me really – but supporting me like you’re doing is enough. It means a lot, so thank you so much!
aw elm, relax okay? try to have a clear mind then put your all into revising. don’t stress out too much about it. i know you have it in you to do your best x
Thank you SO much, Claudia! 🙂 It means a lot that you have faith in me.
Hey,
don’t worry about your exams. They’re overrated, really. However, if you set up a schedule and start revising on a daily basis you’ll be well prepared. Good luck and never forget: it needs pressure to form a diamond 😉
Ohh thank you so it, Bino! 🙂 You’re really great at this. I just need to remember to NOT stress.
DONT WORRY! I had the mock exams a few weeks ago! Honestly I actually didn’t revise and I still did really well but I understand not everyone is as lucky as that. You still have LOADS of time to revise! I know you can’t be bothered- trust me I always feel like that! But if you put all the energy your putting into worrying into actually revising, you’ll feel better! Just concentrate on your worse subjects first so then if you don’t have enough time to revise everything, at least you have targeted the worst ones! Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, they are only mocks, yes they are important but if you don’t do as well, it doesn’t matter as this will encourage you to do better for the real thing! Good luck with revision! I find out my mock results in the 6th of January! Xxx
Good luck – I bet you’ll do well. I’ll do my best to revise – it’s tricky though, but I think I WILL focus on my worst subjects first. It’s logical, after all. Seriously, thank you!
Ah thank you! Also good luck with revision, let us know how you do in the exams when they come!
Of course! 🙂 I owe it to you.
I just had my mocks and didn’t revise until like 3 days before they started. *face palm* its fair to say I stressed out and cried too. You still have time and as you revise efficiently, you will do brilliant!!!! Plus they are mocks, they show you what you need to improve on. GOOD LUCK!!
THANK YOU, I’ll probably need it! 🙂 But yeah. I just need to calm down.
That happens to me a ton, but please don’t stress about it to much! Just make today a relaxing day then work hard the next day and I promise you’ll do great on your mock ❤️
I really hope you’re right! 🙂 Thank you, Reine.
Hey! Why don’t you write about things your are to learn on your blog so it’s kinds like revising to 🙂 So if your doing history, you can write about an event and how it impacts now.
YES! That’s such a bloody good idea! 🙂
hahaha! Thankyou 🙂
Don’t worry Elm, everything is going to be alright! ❤ I've been there too. I started way too late with revising for my exams back in January. I was shaking sooo bad, my heart was beating so fast, all because I was stressing so bad, but I passed those exams. You can too okay? ❤ If you ever need help, tips or just motivation, let us know! We'll be here for you ❤ Just make sure you're well rested (you can't study when you're not!), and don't forget to eat and drink! Take breaks now and then (you deserve them!). It always helps me to make a list of everything I need to do and know; it really clears my head! Maybe that can help you too 🙂
I hope so! Thank you so much 🙂
Elm, it’s okay! You have loads of time, honestly. First of all, stop stressing, because that won’t help anything. Secondly, I know it doesn’t feel like it, but January 11th is ages away. Take Christmas off, and Boxing Day, and then on the 27th, you can get down to it properly. That gives you a full 2 weeks to do revision. 14 days. A day for each subject, and a couple left over for general prep. You’ll be fine. X
God, I really hope you’re right. I did some Chemistry today, just because I felt in the mood, which helps. But I think I’ll take tomorrow off – it’s Christmas, after all. Thank you so much: your words always help me. I just need to calm down.
Of course you have to take tomorrow off! I think the next day as well, personally, and then get properly down to it after that. You’ll be fine – they’re only mocks, after all. It’s not the end of the world if you don’t do it well, it really isn’t. X
Yeah, I think you’re right. You’re basically my voice of reason 🙂 Thank you. I just get carried away sometimes.
Aw, thank you! I’ve always prided myself on being rational and calm when it comes to other people, though I can’t say it’s the same with myself! Have a great Christmas. X
Well, you do pretty well! 🙂
Exams are really like pain in the neck! Try reading my article…maybe it helps!

All the best!! 🙂
Ohh thank you – you’re pretty awesome! 🙂
Thank you so much! ^_^
That’s okay! 🙂
Moreover, its just a mock test and you have atleast 2 weeks for the prep! Don’t stress out, okay? Breathe. Yes, deep breaths.
Study a subject everyday and take breaks in between. I know, you’ll do well.
XOXO
Ohh, I hope you’re right! 🙂 Thank you so so much for the encouragement. You’re great – I just NEED to breathe.
All the best!! Don’t lose faith in your self. 🙂
I’ll try not to! 🙂
You’ll be alright, Elm! Just take things as they come. Maybe you can’t study much this time, but you can still do your best and do better on the next one! You’re smart. You’ll do it. 🙂
-Amy
I hope so, Amy! 🙂 I’m so glad you’ve got faith in me. You’re great.
I don’t know, I’m currently sitting here petting my dog, who is totally asking for a belly rub…. XD
Awww that’s so cute! 🙂
Lol. She’s my baby!
Oh boy, am I ashamed right now
I generally start studying for exams a few days before. YOU HAVE 3 WEEKS ELM STOP FREAKING OUT STOPPIT don’t make me get my miranda out.
Seriously. You have all the time you need to study, and spending too much worrying about what would happen if you can’t finish studying on time is the main thing that stops you from actually finishing! As Fibit stated, if you study one subject every day, you’ll have done everything on schedule. You’ll even have Christmas and your birthday off! (Seriously if I know you studied on your birthday I’m flying right over to london and slapping you silly)
You’re going to NAIL this exam I just KNOW IT. And if you don’t then fuck it. I swear, if you fail and end up homeless and with no job, we’ll manage to get you a laptop and some wifi so you can still blog. It’s not all bad!
Right now you are literally a god ANTHONY YOU LEGEND!
Well, I’ll TRY not to fail, but I’ve got a failsafe if I do. Seriously, you’re bloody awesome. I fucking swear it.
THANK YOU MORTAL
I’M NOT A MORTAL
THANK YOU IMMORTAL #EBONYDARKNESS
YOU KNOW THAT YESSS!11111
Breathe calm down relax focus, Elm. YOU GOT THIS.
YES, I GOT THIS! 🙂 Merci, Luna!
Honestly, Elm, you don’t need to worry one bit. Really, I study for my papers just a few days before and in the end, I realize that all my worry was for nothing:) But I don’t blame you for getting upset. You have no idea, I literally go CRAZY when I realize that I haven’t started studying or revising. I have a COMPLETE mental breakdown and I keep blaming myself. But really, Elm. You don’t worry. Remember, studying with a cool and calm mind is better than studying with a frenzied mind:)
EXACTLY! Ohh Selfie, you’re great and give the best advice. You know, I SHOULD stop stressing.
And so you shall:)
