Who else is worried about their exams? Well, I guess that's pretty much every 15/16 year old around. Anyhoo, how are you all coping with the pressure? Revising whenever you can or taking it easy?
I know I'm smart enought to pass the ones that I want. Maths is a dead loss though ;0
Its just this annoying fear of failure crap!

Not really..
I did my Maths exam early..my coursework was lame as..and my teacher put me into intermediate when I knew I should have been in Higher. Anyhoo..about 3 months before my exam we got told to do practice papers. I was the only one to do them and by the end i was doing them in 30 mins rather than an hour. I got the highest B in my year (B was the highest grade I could have got). I know I should have retook higher maths and got an A..grrr..

My brother retook maths in college and said it was a piece of p!ss. Its just really a general knowledge test isn't it? Plus you get taught it a sh!tload better.

I got an A* in ICT but I'm still scared. Coursework et all. Considering that the exam only makes up a 1/3 rd of the marks.

Maybe the fact that most people on here have got A-C grades show how easy they are. Whn you do GCSE's teachers tell you how important they are..when infact they are only used to get on to A level courses...my school and college even let people in who didn't get the grades so long as they do..for instance..their maths GCSE again..and you still don't need to pass it.

Maybe the fact that most people on here have got A-C grades show how easy they are.

I've just got to take French and Maths this year (I'm only in year 10) but I've already had some good results in the Fench coursework, 59 marks out of 60, and I got an A in the Maths mock exam. The French speaking is the only bit I'm worried about.

Handwriting helps :)
Anyway as long as I get a c I'm happy. And with the subjects I'm crap in, I'd like to get at least a 'D' as an 'E' sounds even crapper.

It's an English exam, of course it matters, especially if they can't actually read what I've written.

I like how everyone shouts out quite rightly how pointless they are, and then go on to dazzle us all with their amazing grades. Go team muh.
