My school is sooo stupid! Seriously, I get so much homework, it even takes me up to 5hrs a day and that's why I dont have time to study, I dont do any activities but I would love to, unfortunately no time, and they also expect us to go for a walk, catch some fresh air, go to bed EARLY - hahaha, with so much stuff to do I go to bed at 1 or 2 am! I have no life, seriously, and my school is up to 4pm but I get home after 5 because i have to take a bus which comes once every half an hour! its soo stupid!
and i really want to do good but you see, you just cant! 0 -

We're told to do 2-2.5 hours of homework a day (that's including study, revision, written etc.). I go to after school study for 2 hours everyday and I just study then and do my homework when I get home and still manage to get to bed at about 10p.m.. Does doing a lot of homework help you study?
I'm similar, but then the opposite to you. As in, I do about 2, maybe 2 1/2 hours daily of hw plus study, but most of what I do is hw, not study Wish we got no homework because then we could just study and I don't know about anyone else, but I do learn a good bit more doing study than homework... 0 -

i have revise wise and i would really recommend it to you, but the problem for me is when they give you sample letters, formal letters, postcards and notes they're all very long with many unrelevant information while my french teacher said you only need about 2 sentences for each point they give you for the letter. you dont even need to fill in every single space
anyone could recommend me an idea on how to study listening in french, im sooo bad at it, i know the vocab but i just cant seem to hear them say the words! i'm so lost and im going to fail that exam, comprehension and writing is kind of easy for me,you can always guess, but i simply hate the listening exam! 0 -

I do German, but same concept. Do Aural tests at home, from past papers (your exam papers should have a CD on it)
Listen to french radio, you'll start to pick up the colloquial after a while, which may be useful in the listening and the letter ;D
You can also watch french TV and practise your pronunciation, so that you can recognise what they say easier, try improve your speed!0 -

Anyone starting their mocks tomorrow - DON'T FREAK OUT!
I studied for my mocks and ended up with nearly everything D's, and everyone around me was getting b's and c's and some A's.. I felt so craaap! It was a good kick up the backside, and I did all my subjects at honours level and I ended up with 9 honours and 3 passes so please, PLEASE don't be upset if the mocks work out, they're there to give you an idea of what the real exams are like and to see what levels you would like to take before filling out the levels form which is the last change you can make - you can't change them back.
Get enough sleep tonight, take breaks from studying every half hour, try make a reward system out of it - do an English comprehension and you can go on the internet or something like that!
Bring water to your exam, it will honestly help, the rooms you do exams in will probably have the heating on which can make you feel really sleepy and the water will wake you up and of course give you something to keep you busy with pre exam or during exam nerves! (Don't drink it all in one go though, just small sips, they don't let you leave exams to use the toilet unless it's an emergency, at least my school didn't).
Don't do what loads of people (including myself) did last year and try to cram until about 1 a.m, going into exams tired doesn't work, and cramming until 1 a.m doesn't work either - you're too overtired to take in any information and you'll forget most of it!
Organize your pens and pencils. Keep a set of colours with you as well during exams, you will probably need them for science and geography.
Don't eat too much the night before or in the morning if you are feeling nervous - In the morning if you're not feeling too well chew some gum to keep your mind off it. But don't eat nothing , that's just as bad! Please, please don't get so nervous you get sick! And tell the supervisor before you go in if you really don't feel well , he/she might give you some leeway and let you start your exam a little bit later or will allow you to leave your exam without question if you feel you're going to be sick.
Don't bring your mobile phone in to the exam. 3 people got caught last year with them when they went off. Keep it at home or really make sure your phone is on silent.
Don't feel pressured by other people. If people are saying they didn't study at all, or they studied so much their brain swelled by 10 percent, don't listen to them, they're probably lying. Don't disclose how much you studied because it's just kind of silly and of course, quality, not quantity
Girls with long hair - tie it up. Seriously you will thank me :P
When you get home from exams get a good sleep! Take a power nap and get your dinner, then sit down to study. You will feel a lot better than coming in, and getting straight to the studying and falling asleep midway! Like I said you won't take in anything if you're tired.
Shower in the morning, not at night, you can take your time in the morning instead of rushing around at night to get your study done and what not.
Everyone looks rougher than usual doing their exams so don't be worried about spots and all. Try keep foundation to a minimum or use tinted moisturizer and a bit of concealer because foundation will just encourage more spots when you're under stress.
Okay very very long but if you TL;DR - Don't get too upset over the mocks. :P0 -

That cram bit seems to be an exception for me....I've crammed every single exam I've done and have a high A rate (Other than English and Religion).
I shower at night, I'm fine.0 -
