There are 71 days until my GCSEs start.
71 days. That’s 10 weeks. 10. WHAT?
I created a revision timetable at Christmas, but I haven’t been using it as much as I should have and I’m absolutely FREAKING OUT.
I’ve done some revision. History facts are actually going into my brain, and sociology and maths too, but science – ALL OF THEM – makes me feel a little sick. I’ve got my french coursework to remember, and SO MUCH to revise.
My revision timetable is as follows (yes, I’ll bore you, sorry).
Monday: Physics, RE
Tuesday: Music
Wednesday: Chemistry, English
Thursday: History
Friday: Biology, French
Saturday: Maths, Sociology
Sunday: Free day
Well ACTUALLY, Sunday isn’t a free day; it’s just unscheduled revision. Like if I’m feeling unconfident about a particular subject that day, or I just want to look over some things. I’m going to do one hour per subject, and on the days where I only have one, I can have another hour of revision for a subject I choose. If I had a lesson that day and I didn’t feel okay with the things we looked over, I’d use the extra hour to catch up. Tuesday and Thursday only have one subject because I’m really worried about music and history, because they’re the ones where I have to recall the most precise facts. WAHEY.
Is that okay? Am I doing enough? I just need to get the MOTIVATION, and that’s going to be tricky.
Intensive revision starts TOMORROW. GOD, I should have started sooner; I’m an idiot.
Sorry, I’m just panicking, and I want to blog about it because it will calm me down. Revision is sometimes tricky for me because I can’t do mindmaps or flash cards or writing things pretty or a page because I CAN’T SEE THEM UGH. So, revision usually means walking round my house, talking about the subject, or making wild gestures to myself to try and get the information in (like I did with the nervous system a few days ago).
I CAN DO THIS. I CAN.
From Elm 🙂
I AM THE SAME
Revision is scaring me right now but I HAVE to start.
ME TOO OH MY GOD HELLPPPP
I can assure you, you’ve probably done more revision than me..lets just all start! GO GO GO
YES YES DO THAT REVISION! 🙂
First off, your revision timetable looks AWESOME so don’t you worry about it. And about the revision, you’ve said (and I’m proud of you that you’ve said it) that you CAN DO IT. And I truly believe you can, everyone does. And it must be getting overwhelming due to your GCSE’s drawing closer, but trust me on this, it’ll be a breeze once you start. Best of luck!!!
Thank you so much!!! 🙂
You are welcome Elm 😉 you’re gonna nail them, don’t worry.
Let’s hope I do!
I am literally so stressed right now too elm💕
Bloody hell help us ARGH!!!
Honestly I think I need a miracle, food just isn’t cutting it this time 😂
I just… How do I get the motivation?!!
Honestly sometimes I will do a huge amount of revision. And I will just sit and wonder how the hell I actually did it. But sometimes I am just staring at the page and nothing goes in. I have been experiencing the latter recently. I feel like we just have too try our hardest yo not get lost in it all. Because it comes to that point where stress defines you, and you can’t let that happen :)💗❤
You’re exactly right. Sometimes we just need to step back, and let the stress receed.
Truth 👏💙
I HAVE 57 DAYS OH LORD
IT’s SO STRESSFUL AND JUST PANIC!!!!! What’s your first?
I KNOWWW!! My first one is English Language, what about you?
AHHH! My first one’s sociology 😦
Good luck! 🙂
Thanks, I’ll need it!
We are in the same boat! You’ve just scared me slightly more with the countdown
I’ve done a previous post on revision techniques I use which may help you out maybe…but other than that, don’t worry. You’re revision timetable looks fine. Be confident and believe in yourself! Go ace them exams!
I’ll try! And AHHH sorry for scaring you! 😦
It’s fine. I needed a wake up call anyways…starting slacking off revision
I know the feeling!
I talk a lot to myself too as I review what I’ve revised
Thank goodness I’m not the only one!
You can do it! You have 10 weeks! I only started panicking the day before the first exam *seriously*
All the best!!
Ahh thank you! 🙂
Good luck! 🙂
Thanks, I’ll need it!
Revision is great, but just don’t over do it, otherwise you will not feel as motivated for next time. I will be checking as well 😉 I have done my GCSEs so I am here. I loved my History one. It was the best!
LUCKY! Ahh thank you!
Haha! Oh no problem! What are you doing in History?
Hitler’s steps to war, The Cold War, America in the 20s and 30s and Vietnam.
Oh God GCSEs are stressing me out so much too. I have kinda started revising but I always feel like I’m just not doing enough! Good luck! 🙂
YES SAME! How are we supposed to know if we HAVE done enough?!
IKR??
YOU CAN DO IT GO ELM
THANK YOU I’LL TRY EEEKKK
YOU CAN DO THIS. I have my final exams in May, which freak me out already aaah. Good luck 🙂
AHHH good luck!!! And thank you! 🙂
Thanks! I just found out that I have 68 days left, which is sooner than I thought so I probably should start revising some subjects.. 😦
You’re gonna do great! 🙂
You are doing loads- seriously don’t worry, you’re gonna do great! I wasn’t nearly as prepared for my gcses (or any exams I’ve ever had to be honest) and I did fine. You will do even better 🙂
I hope so, but I bet you did great! 🙂 Thank you!
Thanks 🙂 and you’re welcome 🙂
Ahhhh nooooo it’s too soon 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I have an English exam on Tuesday then drama the week after Easter then everything else it’s too soon and I’ve not even opened a textbook yet 😁😁
I KNOW HOW THIS FEELS! Good luck!!!! 🙂
Thank youuu! You too 🙂
Thank yaaa!
Well, this reminded me that i’m procrastinating XD Don’t sorry, you have a while to go- if you’re doing all of that, you’ll obviously pass. Stress is meant to push you I guess 😛 It’s best to cool down and make sure you learn it instead of panicking- you have time 🙂 (but don’t take it for granted at the same time ^^) But just know, that no matter what you will pass!!!
I HOPE SO!!! 🙂 Thank you! NOT panicking at all haaaa
XD
watch out for a-levels hehe
I’m ALREADY scared haha!
Good luck! I’m sure you will do great:) Always make sure you have breaks though x
I’ll try! 🙂 Thank you!
I’m American so I have no idea what you’re talking about (I’m assuming it’s like the equivalent of the ACT or SAT) 🙂 but I’m sure you’ll do great! Best of luck!
I hope I will! And yeah – they’re similar – you take them in year 11 (which is sophomore year for you guys) after 2 years of studying for them.
Same though :’)
Haha, I’m not alone!
Just a quick suggestion- don’t put physics on Monday put something like biology there because after a revision time and stuff you wouldn’t want to go back to a subject to like physics. That’s if you like it that you can do it on Monday.
That’s very true! 🙂 Thank you!
Yes! YOU CAN DO IT!
Good Luck 😉
THANK YOU! 🙂
YEAH YOU CAN DO IT ELM! You will do well on these exams and you will try your best. 😀 good luck!
Thank you! I might need it 😛
You can do it!😜😚good luck! I love your style of writing you’re literally amazing and yh I’m gonna stop now before I start full on fangirling.
