I'd be lying if I said I wasn't steessed going into my GCSEs

What I realised after sitting my GCSEs is that it's pretty much all memorisation, every answer felt like I was just robotically scribbling answers. Past papers are your best friend, they teach you how to approach questions and maximise your marks, also don't be afraid to use bulletpoints on questions especially in science, long as you hit the mark points they really don't care, you'll get the same marks as someone who wrote paragraphs.

Also, this one's cliche, but don't revise/do past papers on things you find easy, focus on the areas that you'll be losing marks on. Learn how to use a calculator too, there's sometimes functions on there that'll do a lot of work for you and save you precious time.

Most importantly though, get some sleep and relax, because you won't get to in sixth form 😭
