Oo, take extra pens and stuff. And take a drink incase you get thristy. Pee before you go in, as you might not be able to go during the exam. Revise, and get plenty of sleep. You should do great.

1. Don't panick
2. Remember where you are sitting
3. Have about 5 pens with you
4. Make sure calculator is working (if needed)
   
5. Take a bottle of water with you (helps you think)
6. Be glad once its over

Another one, is when you've finished check it over, make sure you've answered everything and that your sure what you have put is okay. Also, maybe check the exam first when you start instead of doing it staight away, that way you'll know whats coming and it gives you think to think about it instead of being put on the spot when you see it.

If you catch my drift.

When revising:
-Revise plenty of time in advance
-Revise in 20/30 minute slots, having a break between them
-Reward yourself after revising by watching tv/going on the internet or something
-Rather than just reading, make notes, do quizzes and stuff
-There is no excuse for revising on a friday night! Go out and have fun!
-On the night before, DO NOT stay up all night revising. Go to bed, and get a good nights sleep, so you can concentrate better in the exam

During the exam:
-Bring water (especially if it's a hot day)
-Bring spare pens
-Bring a calculator if you need one, and check that it works!
-DO NOT BRING A MOBILE PHONE INTO THE EXAM ROOM!!!!! If it goes off, you could be disqualified from ALL your exams.
-If you get stuck on a question, leave it, and go to the next question
-Once you've finished, go back and try to answer those that you skipped
-Answer EVERY question, even if it's just a guess
-Check your answers once you've finished

And finally, good luck!

Blimey, I've finished all my GCSE's ^_^

Main tips:

- Have a shave, s**t and shower before going in, that way you don't have to worry about anything.
- Stay calm, remember that you don't need full marks (or anywhere near on some exams) to get a decent grade.
- Don't look around you at other people in the exam. Aside from being something that a really strict teacher might throw you out for, it'll only make you nervous.
- If the exam gives you options of what questions to do (I know RE and History do) then check them all before deciding, and the best way to decide is to not do the ones you don't know, rather than picking a question where you know a lot on part of it.
- Don't beat yourself into revising if you're really not in the mood for it. It won't help you.

Mostly just relax. If you're going on to college after high school then your GCSE grades won't count for anything once you're in, it'll all be about A levels.

Heres a good one.
Put a "-" next to the questions you know.
"o" near the questions you dont know.
It helps alot and you get all the marks you can achieve. Then at the end do the questions with the "o".
Spend about 10 minuites skimming pages and putting "-" and "o"'s near questions!
Works a treat!

go through the important stuff just before your exam ^^
keep it fresh in your memory.

it also helps when you revise for atleast 1 hour a night for over a week.
