What nobody tells you is how true that really is. Teachers do, they really do, go on at you about working towards your GCSE's.... "You must take these exams seriously." and "Your entire lives will rest on these exams."... on it goes and you don't believe them the first time. Nor the second. But by the third you're really, really panicking. But really. You need every single thing you have ever learnt - Those lessons in year 1 about how to use capital letters and full stops, the lessons in year two on paragraphs, those spelling tests you used to cheat on. All of them are important.
But saying this now doesn't help the fact that in my English exam this morning I forgot paragraphs even existed. I went through my two pages of answer (Arguing that global warming is not something to worry about - I enjoy being a controversial person just for the sake of it) drawing lines where I should've started a new paragraph... I'm hoping the person who's marking my exam understands that it's meant to be indicating that there should be a paragraph and doesn't think I just decided to start sentences with "I".
Despite how appalling my exam went I was pleased to be off the school site by 11:10 and then at home by 12. To revise, of course. Well, actually, my revision plan isn't a strict one... If I'm honest it's more like a "revise what you want, when you want" sort of approach (I don't recommend this at all).
This is probably what my revision should look like:
Although, yesterday I found the most brilliant way of revising for History. My brother was off and I only had an exam yesterday morning so I was at home by 11:30, we got his Lego and, using the Lego, acted out big things in history like the causes of WW1. So, my brother had 3 Lego men, and I had the other three, and we stuck different coloured post-it-notes on them to represent the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance... I know the causes quite well now, and I think my brother now associates Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary (Now seperate - Austria & Hungary), Bosnia (Now Bosnia and Herzegovina), Serbia, Russia, France, Britain and Morocco, with Lego bricks.
