Year 11 Advice | What I Wish I Knew Before & My GCSE Experience!

[@berkaygungor1414]

A message to all the future year 11's out there: Do not start stressing about how your failing certain subjects just because you got a poor grade in your mocks, i started year 11 of with a grade 3 in RS and ended up with a grade 9 in my GCSE's. If i done it, so can you !

[@karthika3386]

What helped you grade up??

Estimated a 8 getting 5s in yr 11, help.

[@chloepurple6754]

I'm about to start year 11 and I do NOT feel ready at all. I feel like I'm way too young, and I'm worried about whether I'll be motivated enough to actually do revision. Even during this summer I've found it hard to make myself sit down and do any work.

[@noorhashmi3161]

OMG tell me about it! Regret not making my notes from Year 10 either and it's almost the end of week 3 and I've done nothing! Lord have mercy on me.

[@gracefadele4854]

Me too😭😭😭

[@TheOnlyTalia]

i haven't done any revision yet, and i'd like to say that i will but knowing myself i won't. also need to do my media coursework while i'm on vacation fml

[@oliviarose9676]

Thank god I'm not the only one! I started writing title pages for revision for science and maths but only because I enjoy laying it out neatly. After writing things out I don't go over them so everything has just gone over my head. Really not ready for year 11

I keep panicking and crying not gonna lie and I feel like I can’t talk to my friends as they’re all gonna get 9’s without revising at all and just don’t understand but this video helped a bit so thank you x

[@hrk7862]

Class of 2020 ✨

[@akiraferreira403]

1- Exams are not the end of the world - Don't overthink, try to enjoy it and don't compare yourself. 2- Make notes as you go along - do them after school so you'll only have to revise it by GCSEs. 3- Get out of friendship drama and toxic people - focus on your education & surround yourself with positivity. 4- Don't compare yourself - ignore people who brag too. 5- Push through it - it'll go by very quickly and you won't need to go through it ever again so do your best. 6- Make sure you cover the entire specification - make checklists and do small things every week to get your resources done by April.

This video came at a good time as I’m going into year 11 and honestly I feel so anxious about! This video is helping me so much!!

[@linaa.4481]

“If you are not well mentally or physically, you have to work on that” Omgg thank you, I needed to hear this. As someone struggling with mental health issues, it’s so hard to find the motivation to study and do my work. I can barely get out of bed and then looking at others working hard while I’m unable to get my shit together makes me feel worthless :/

[@ishahussain5369]

I'm just scared about the maths gcse cuz I don't understand the way my teacher teaches it 😭 Also feel like I have to get all A*s to beat my big bro cuz he got all As n A*s

[@hannahmorgan2842]

The other week I was having a mental breakdown to one of my teacher and she just sighed, and went “honestly GCSE’s don’t even matter” and I was like thanks queen what a babe xx

[@LaurMedley]

Ahh I hope you’re ok! Just do your best & remember that your mental health is WAY more important than exam results :)

I’m about to start year 11 and I’ve watched so many videos like these adopted new skills and how I can change my lifestyle to reduce stress they’ve helped me so much but then I came across yours and I thought let me give it a watch I’ve absolutely loved yours and i don’t know why but your video was very relatable I felt like you were my future self giving myself advice on going into year 11 this was great and I loved it 💕I recommend everyone to screenshot every tip she has made and remind yourself of it I finally feel like I’m ready for the year 🎉🤗

[@pamplemousse01]

i told myself when i went into year 11 that i will have all my revision cards and notes finished before may and june yet i was basically teaching myself all the content for the exam the night before. they say you shouldn’t cram but i did and it worked and i ended up getting two 9s, three 8s, a 7, two 6s and two 5s :) good luck you’re gonna need it!

[@coolcupcakes1396]

I’m going to year 10 and this actually help though this is aimed for year 11s

[@eliselumley]

make notes throughout that year cause like by the end of year 10 its way too much stuff to go over at once. Also ask your teachers for the specification cause that can help you stay organised.

[@OfficialKorSide]

while you have time: MAKE NOTES ON UR YEAR 9 STUFF. trust me. just do it. once you get to your mocks you will NOT want to look back on the stuff you did in year 9 lol. good luck b you'll be fine

We had mock mocks just before the summer and these were my grades: (I didn’t do one for French or computer science) Maths: 7 English Literature: 5 English Language: 6 Biology: 6 Chemistry: 6 Physics: 5 History: 4 Honestly, I’m happy with that however my history really let me down. I’m not going to say I did an awful lot of revision as we only found out a week in advance and my teacher has 1 day off each week which is really frustrating considering I would have liked higher. If I can replicate what I did for the other subjects to get a grade higher at the end of year 11, that would be great. Your tips really helped me, Laura, so thank you for that. Now I’m not as nervous as I was xx

ive been struggling with anxiety for a while now and that has caused me to have a low attendance going in to year 11. all of my teachers are saying that i shouldn’t stay off but i dont listen to them because im putting myself first. and i know when im not mentally well enough to be in school :)

[@A-_-A.]

I know this sounds really bad, but I'm extremely lazy & I have no motivation whatsoever & I just cba & I know I won't revise cos I never do & I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself :/ I'm probably gonna forget to do hw as always & have a year of being punished & nagged by teachers :/ do you have any tips for how to get by as a lazy student?

Thank you for this, I'm going into year 11 in september and I'm kinda worried, but for a slightly different reason compared to the average student. I have chronic pelvic pain, so I miss quite a bit of school. I can't control it, it's just how it is! But I'm so scared that it's going to hold me back, and I won't be able to reach my full potential - the grades I know I should be able to get. It's like I'm at a disadvantage before I've even begun!
