What GCSEs are REALLY like
Tommy, an old hand at GCSEs, gives us some advice on these important years
I’ve finished my GCSEs and believe me, I know exactly what the entire process is like. There are ups and downs, but in the end it will be worth it. If you are reading this and you’re in year 10 or 11, then I will give you one piece of advice that will help you more than anything – don’t get lazy. This sole thing is the downfall of so many of my fellow students in their GCSEs.
If you don’t understand something in class, then ask your teacher! That’s their job! Don’t simply go, “ah well, it probably won’t even be in the exams, I won’t bother with it.” It is amazing how the littlest of things can change your final grade in the exam.
But don’t get nervous about your GCSEs. Stay confident and use a wide range of sources for information. Use textbooks, go over your class books and also use GCSEPod! I feel this website has genuinely increased my grades and I would recommend it to anyone. I always have my mp3 player on the go, whether I’m doing my paper round or chilling with my friends in the park. It doesn’t matter if you’re learning some Biology – your friends will never know! If you start working now, then when your exams come around in a few months, you’ll have no problems because you’ll be well prepared.
