Which camp do you fall into? Choose your questions, starting with the ones you know you can do, to build confidence.
Do not spend too long on any one question and try to do the number required. Use the number of marks for each question as a guide and make sure you do the compulsory questions, if there are any. Be familiar with what you have to do by checking the instructions on the front of the exam paper.
Insufficient time with only 10 minutes left for a 30 minute question at the end of the exam needs a special approach. Do the question in outline only and let the examiner know.
State the main points, facts and arguments, if an essay - and by jotting down formulae and how you would use them to reach a solution, if science or maths. More marks can be gained that way with limited time available. And do not worry now if your handwriting is not so good.
It may be untidy, but if your teacher can read it, then so can the examiner. But if no one can read it, it cannot be marked. So be careful. And if you feel unwell during an exam, make sure that your teacher knows. You could get special consideration, if a valid case and you under-perform.

And those whispers between invigilators when they change watch during exams can be just as annoying. That should not happen, so do not be afraid to say if it disturbs you. But, being confident in your ability will seriously help you out in an exam. This can distract you from the task at hand, and lead to you making more mistakes.
So, now we know that being confident will help you improve your grades, but how do you do it? There are a few ways. Revising will boost your confidence, as you become more comfortable with the content. Getting lots of rest will help too, as then your brain gets better at processing information faster. The faster your brain gets, the more info you can take in, and the more confident you will be.
Revision is a must on the day before your exam, but what else can you do to help? One important thing is sleep. It will also give you the energy you need to do well in your exams. Drinking energy drinks will make you energetic for a short while, but leave you dopey during or after your exam. If you really want to succeed, I suggest doing something that makes you feel happy or positive, too.
This means anything you want it to mean. If you have to choose between revision or fun, always choose revision on the day before your exam. If you have any questions about your exam, talk to your teacher about it. Even ironing out your issues so close to the exam can still help. Reading this article on the morning of your exam?
Revision is long and laborious, and not many people enjoy it. So, what do we even do it for? Revision is a key tool in helping your brain do this. Starting early means that you have more time to spread yourself across all your subjects, and results in better grades.
A good example of revision is riding a bike. The more times you do it, the better you get. Revision for your exams also prepares you for later on in life. Especially at GCSE level, the independent work you do for your exams will come in useful for further education. This is because the further you get through education, the more independent it becomes. GCSE is reliant on school, college half depends on you, and university is almost all you!
Revision so close to your exam will likely be more intense.
