" want another tissue"
" no "

I’m watching this instead of revising now... the irony...
Shane Gallagher what a terrible message to spread, well done.... 😑

Chloe Brundrett same 😂😂😂oh my god
Same

Let’s just appreciate how some of these year 11s look like 19 and then others look like 14 😂
Ikr 😂
It's the makeup
One of em looks 35
That fat boy Callum looks about 30
they probs have makeup on
"mocks are pointless" you say that, but I'm watching this a little over a week after my exams got cancelled from coronavirus and my qualifications are literal coming from my mocks..
They aren't just from mocks. They will take all the work you have done over the last two years, and use that as evidence. So if your mocks weren't great it won't mean much, as long as you have put the work in.
-A fellow GCSE student who was unable to do mocks and was also worrying until I found this out
‘Qualifications’ lol
Yeah this didn't age well mgxgnzfm sorry guys
@@theashweeks thank u that means a lot to me, i'm really stressed about my gcse qualifications because my exams are cancelled
Schools put way too much pressure on these exams I think..
I agree fully with you. All exams do is stress students out
Preparation for life, but schools also get judged on exam results by the government.
Well but this is how your going to go and get your dream job why wouldn't they put pressure on you?
Nothing wrong with building a bit of resilience in these kids.
You should be greatful for that.
Who’s here after the government scrapped GCSEs this year😂
Harry Salter me
Lol me
Harry Salter ahaha me
Harry Salter mocks aren’t pointless now there partly what our grades are based off
Yep 😂
Exams are not the right way to test someone's ability as an individual or someone intelligence, just someone's ability to remember information no matter how insignificant. And that is how we determine someone's future. Intelligence is someone's ability to find a solution to a problem, and we measure it by the speed that person finds a solution. Not the speed they remember a solution.
They’re definitely not always the right way to test people. I really struggled with exams because of poor working memory and mild learning difficulties. Even with extra time I would still often not finish the paper.
Say what you want about the American system, but kids are actually expected to 'wing' SATs - using only the knowledge they have attained over the year instead of spending ages piling excessive amounts of information for a do-it or die exam. I agree, there should be more coursework and at the very least an option for more smaller and casual exams instead of a load of HUGE IMPORTANT ones.
I am sorry but the British education system is like a walk in the park. People in Singapore or India have tougher exams.
if you dont remember something you do not know it
Henry you live in a yurt and your dads a milkman
I got told I wouldn’t get higher than a B in biology after I failed all my in-class tests and mocks. Did the real exam and get an A*. Keep going!
Aimee Butler but.
You didn’t tho
CVX X 😂😂😂
Aimee Butler lmao I was getting A*s in the class room tests, so I didn’t revise for the actual thing (in year 10) and I got a D. But I’m resitting in like a week, but I’ll probably only get like a C
FU2R lol i did tho
Lewis_Coop1 😂😂😂😂😂😂
WHERE ARE ALL THE TEACHERS LIKE THIS IN MY SCHOOL SOMEBODY TELL ME-
“a mock isn’t a real exam so why do it” class of 2020: “am i a joke to u”
This made me cry! I feel so sorry for these kids- tests are so scary at the time but later in life you realise it wasnt a big deal!
Aw bless her🙁
iixSergioDark not me lool
I'm in year 11 now and have my mocks in 2 weeks. I cannot explain the pressure and stress that I feel just walking into school. Its all teachers can talk about, they remind us every single lesson and it just doesn't help. Does anyone have any techniques to help me cope with it all because I just can't at the moment.
Josie Brookes good luck! I’m in Year 10 and our teachers are already talking about them
Dont revise to much , and dont revise the day of the exam as it will stress you out more xx
Josie Brookes Mbbyyllxss 15 Look. Everyone bricks it, it's natural. I was shitting myself throughout Yr 11 (last year) and honestly it was the worst year of my life... let alone the MONTH of exams. But listen, come to the real thing and it's easy! If you do well in your mocks you will SMASH GCSEs! You have multiple days in between exams in May to revise (BUT STILL REVISE BEFOREHAND!) so I even had time to de-stress and play video games between exams at home haha! I came out with 9A*s and an A. I'm not spectacular in every subject but I put the effort in and the sense of accomplishment I felt, and the ease of lower sixth so far is AMAZING and totally worth it! Just... SURVIVE! Thrive in the environment regardless of any obstacles/anxiety etc. and no matter what, you'll come out a champion!
Lily Callaghan Bad advice. Revise the bits you're unsure about just so it's fresh in your mind on the exam! You only need it in your head to throw it to paper and then you can forget about it. Make sure you've covered everything beforehand and top up just before the exam!
Josie Brookes exactly. Im in year 10 and i feel bad, they are treating it like a top secret thing
Who’s watching this in 2020 and didn’t have to take GCSEs this year 😂
Lauren Evans meee
Meee!
Meeeeee
I have my year 10 mocks in 2 weeks. I have diagnosed anxiety and because of that i have to do my exams in a small and quiet venue incase i have a panic attack. I am actually so grateful to my school for letting me do that. I have the most supportive teachers and i literally love them so much. They are amazing like the teachers on this show 🖤
Teachers like mr.povy are pure gold. 🕊☀️🕊
Mocks are pointless until the Coronavirus means they use your mocks for your actual GCSE grades 🙃
But they're good practise my first set of mocks were great practise I know what exam are like (for my second mocks I'm doing soon)
I’m scared as fuck to do my exams as the government makes it harder each year
Hibo Jama Atleast you wasnt the first year to sit the new exams lol
Naw tbf it was piss easy
im doing my gcses in 2020 so im dead
GCSE is easy got 7 a* with no concentration.
Bob Range GCSEs arnt easy.
I am exactly like shannon! I want the Same future. Same mindset. I’ve always wanted to become a forensic but I have major panic attacks because I’m expected of by my teachers but I feel like I can’t do anything & I feel stupid :(
He's an amazing teacher
Everyone worrying but I was expected to get at least B’s. I didn’t revise so I failed most subjects. So here’s some advice: just revise! Don’t panic, they’re only exams it’s not the end of the world. I know people that have got awful grades and are on good money. As I said, I failed most subjects, and I’m doing just fine with my life. I’m doing a social media and marketing apprenticeship which will get me a qualification at the end of it and I will have lots of experience.
Natalia Dibble 😂Did you think that you were some superior mental genius? Good advice though
That is exactly why I enjoy the educating series. Things like this, really highlight what teachers are doing for students. :)
so crazy how young year 11s look to me now, i remember when i was in year 11 i thought i was a proper grown up and i knew exactly what i wanted to do with my life. mad how fast everything changes
“Nick some of my confidence” LOVE THIS 👌🏼
I’ve been out of secondary school for awhile now, but I can’t imagine undergoing that much stress for exams. I’m from the States, but to prepare for university it’s not that intense. We had exams but every spring, it was a statewide exam called FCAT at the time. As for other stuff, there were mid semester and final semester exams. As long, as we graduated with a diploma and got decent entrance test scores, practically anyone can pass and go to uni if some effort was put in. I feel for the students so much in this video.
Exams sucked for me. I got extremely sick because of the stress, sleeping for a little amount every day probably around 3 hours..getting up at 4am to revise, going home and locking myself in my bedroom until 4am the next morning. That ultimately made me depressed (diagnosed by my doctor), even though I was too afraid to admit that. I infact ended up failing about 3 of my subjects, because I was taking no information in...it was just going in one way, and out the other. So my advice to anyone taking exams, if you are feeling any stress..talk to someone, and take breaks, DO NOT push yourself to silly lengths like I did. It's not worth it.
The thing is so many adults ik would be quick to slag these kids off saying they’re “dramatic” “lazy” etc but they have no idea how much pressure they’re under. Every single day they’re reminded about the exams, how many days away they are, how important they are, how much revision they should be doing. For months that’s all they hear about. Even when they go home. They’re stressed and terrified and they don’t know how to cope with it all especially at such a young and critical age. It’s honestly heartbreaking how much stress these kids are put under in the months leading up to GCSEs
I have mocks in 2 days
I'm scared shitless
Mciks are pointless I failed every single mock expect one, then got 8 A* and 2 A in GCSEs. Revise when needed.
Glorifying teachers talking them into doing it, rather than discussing the wider issue of how stessful and hard exams these days have been made....
Making exams easier isn't as effective for someones personal growth than convincing them to attempt it at their best ability
I know from experience that extremely exaggerating the severity of exams makes you work hard. It may not be the most effective technique, but it works.
Exams aren't stressful if you make the effort, they're only stressful if you don't. From someone whos been on both sides of the coin failing exams and acing them. If you put the work in, theyre not so bad, if you dont, then is when youre panicking over how they're going to go.
James Kenyon by how much did you fail and ace these exams? My experience involved my school telling me that with the abolition of ASs, GCSEs were the only grades universities had to go on, and each teacher telling us how much work was required for each A* (more time than we had available) and I genuinely thought across my top 8 I would get 11 grades lower than I got and not be allowed into the sixth form. (12 if you count the A^ in AQA further maths)
I personally found GCSE's rather easy, if you put the work in in class, not much work at all outside school was necessary to get top grades. On the work in class alone you could get a B at the least, higher in subjects like English which were barely dependant on the course content, and were more reliant on your ability to blag marks. With about 5 hours outside school work in the weeks leading up to them you could easily turn that into an A. Of course if you didn't put the work in, during the classroom a lot more work was necessary. I smashed my GCSE's with relatively little effort.
AS levels were much harder, and i didnt put the work in out of school, was worried about my results and ended up with 2C's 2D's in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology. Had to resit everything in second year. now this i can genuinely say was hard. I put in 2 hours work after school every single school day, none at weekends for a whole year. Ended up with 2A's 1B Maths, Chemistry, Biology, was stressful but mainly because i failed the first year and had to twice as much work.
Failed my first year of university.
Can honestly say that I was much more stressed when not trying as hard because of the amount of anxiety you cause yourself. Its not the exams themselves that are stressful but the worry you cause yourself by not doing the sufficient work. Work hard, you know you'll do well, then you dont have to worry.
I agree i hate exams it's the stupidest thing ever. 99.9% of the Question or the things you learn are just not useful in the future or every day life but guess what we have to do it 4 times in 10 month.
Callum is not in year 11
Oran Mackin and less hair on his head than on my balls defo not 16
I think he has been held back a few years 😂
Callum is the ledge who can get served and brings the crate of beer down the field \(^_^)/ we all knew a Callum growing up
And this headteacher is now suspended!!! Shocking decision by the guvnours
This made me cry I hate the process of exams it’s so stressful
I’ve got my GCSE’s in 1 month and I’m really stressing out so much I’m not confident what so ever I’m so scared 😭😭
I am currently in college doing a course I love but I tell you what, I remember when I had my GCSE's in 2016. My English teacher was teaching us the wrong system and I ended up with a G two weeks before my real English exam and I was in the high set. Instead of giving up, I worked my ass off for my English and my Maths online and mock papers (which I had been studying for a long time and struggled with) and passed my GCSEs with one B, one C. YOU CAN DO IT and it WILL be worth it in the long run. Good luck everyone xxxx
I had my SATS about 3 weeks ago and I just broke down after doing then but my teacher (Mrs kielty) was so lovely about it
Actually for those who are not used to exams having a mock/ practice run of how to do the process can be really helpful. When the real exam comes along you know what is going on and what will happen
What is wrong with those kids literally everyone has turned up to my mocks not one person has kicked off like that
Probably because you go to a really good school
Lia Middleton ewww wots that surpose to mean I went harrop
Mate I'm not trying to be mean but some schools get ratings like outstanding from ofstead and it's where all the posh people go and then there are other schools.
Lia Middleton ok
Lia Middleton In my country, you'd have to be going to a really shit school if people are refusing to do their mocks.
I think that they should have alternate type of exams. Not everyone is academic, not everyone performs well in exams.
When you wanna be a Forensic scientist and a criminal psychologist so you end up making your own job “forensic criminal psychologist”
I feel so bad for them! :(
"don't believe in yourself"
"believe in the me that believes in you"
I did this before my mock history because I felt like I was going to fail. Cried my eyes out to my history teacher telling him I wasn’t going to go. But he got me to do it and got a D in the mock then C in actual GCSE which I was over the moon with
Melody Smith yeah, I got the information I just couldn’t put it together in the essay😂
Never got above a D in any exam in my Economics GCSE, even got an E in my mocks. When the real thing came along I got an A! always have hope you can do better than you think
I wish I had this support 😪
That teacher is only saying what she needs to hear actually helping
My GCSE’s are in less than a month. Wish I had this support and I pay for my education lol
I have my sats soon and im just chilling honesty, im so excited for them
It feels weird to be watching a video about exams and stress when my summer exams have been cancelled which also creates stress because it's not normal
Im in year 11 aswell and my last mocks before the real GCSEs are in 4 weeks im literally so stressed.
Mbbyyllxss 15 good luck I hope you do well
The Poisoned Youth thanks
Mbbyyllxss 15 me to
Mbbyyllxss 15 I'm in 2nd Year (Year 8)
Mbbyyllxss 15 I’m doing mine now and I’m SHITTING myself
I mostly got Bs and Cs in my GCSE exams. I used to get upset stomach or be sick sometimes out of nerves. I remember one time in year 10 I was sick before I went to school for my Biology mock exam and five minutes into the exam as well (in a bin in the exam room)! I put it down to nerves but they sent me home after I’d completed the exam, and I was really sick again that night. I still got a B though. Keep calm and carry on.
I have anxiety and panic attacks panic disorder and flashbacks PTSD because of my past and I have four panic attacks or two everyday at school
I always cry whan it comes to exams but my mother telled me not to cry and be strong
I did shit in my end of year 10 mocks because I was so anxious, pulled myself together for the next set, relaxed and did so much better.
UPDATE: Graduated from Uni with a 2:1.
I didn’t do so good in my final year exams. But it’s really not the end of the world. I’m now about to become a nurse:)))!
Only got one GCSE at A - C and still managed to get into university to the degree I wanted. Young people need to know there’s plenty of options if you don’t do so well and routes to get the future you want.
Nice

God, I feel so sorry for that girl who was panicking. I had the same thing happen to me when I was doing my GCSE's and had to leave the exam hall. I'm 23 now and it still upsets me!
we had our mocks and they were squished into 2 weeks. sometimes I had 3 a day it was horrible. we have an assembly every week now that tells us how many weeks until gcses and i don't think they understand how hard that is!
In NSW Aust. Our YR 11 Mock exams are used as an essesment mark instead of an extra essay or test in class. Same with Yr 12 finals. We then have the big Country wide exams after
I find it mad that this is my school. I also saw myself a few times during the series. I was interviewed to be on it but I guess they didn't want to include it
teachers at my school literally tell all the kids that they’re going to fail everything and live in a cardboard box 😂
The country where I am from/I live in has 4 exams every 3-2 months and it’s like a proper exam not even mocks. The worst part is we get graded 1st 2nd 3rd (top 10 students) if you’re not in top 10 then it’s a bit of a problem 😓
Callum definitely shouldnt be doing his GCSEs he looks about 30
This is fascinating to me 😅 I know the point of this show is show rougher schools, but after my grammar school education, I wouldn't dream of speaking to any teacher like that and refusing to do exams 😅😅
Ooo ooo oooh this is bringing back some truly awful memories...
for me, revising was just natural. I had no friends so done it for fun. we had a few laughs together. such as trying to pronounce ' Syneresis'
These teachers all look after you and care for you, will the other day , im maths my teacher screamed at me saying that I was dumb and ridiculous he even wrote in my book think this is stupid, he didn’t tell me where I went wrong so I kept doing the same mistake over and over . He says I’m not telling you it easy, but if a 12 year old girl is struggling , your yelling at her and she’s asking for help and your refusing to give her it, what’s the point?? So in my sats I got really nervous and began to cry, the funny thing was once I started to cry he came over and said stop crying these tests don’t matter, if you fail, I don’t care and walked away . I feel like sometimes teachers need to take into account that we are children and we need to be looked after, I know we are there to learn, but we’re not learning if your shoving work that we can’t do in our faces and refusing to help or explain the questions , it’s ridiculous x
Mocks aren't pointless as they are getting you prepared for your actual exam.
All my teachers talk about is EXAMS it really doesn't help and they say I won't do well .yeah thanks that is fucking inspiring
Teachers think that your misbehaving for attention like bish do you think I want to get told off
I feel for Shannon tbh I have the same problem until now and i don't know how to fix it
Weird when you go to the school like me
God teaching is such a hard job.
Literally me now
“Exams prepare you for life” so I won’t be prepared for life because I’m a year 11 and they’ve been cancelled 😭😭 don’t know what to think or feel x
I'm a Year 10 at an Australian Catholic Private high school about to do my end of year exams in like 3 or 4 weeks and I am so stressed because I don't believe I can do it. I put so much pressure on myself that I always worry if I'm smart enough to pass Year 10 first try
Not even gonna do mine this year lol corona virus fucked it all up
I live in Scotland in the UK and we have to do National 5 exams, higher and advanced higher exams 🥴 We can leave after National 5's or our highers or stay on until S6 when we do Advanced highers. Yeh
Bring British is an honour
That my school I went to ep 6 I was in the background
I wish my teachers was like this they just told me that I would fail then I would just tell them to piss off
Idk why panic about exams? Do the work, and you get the Reward. I sat my mocks last year for GCSE and got Half As half Bs, I was really upset. I put the work in from then on, and ended up with 5 A*s, 4 As, and a B. Theres no need to panic, revise, revise, revise, make a timetable, make a plan and shoot for it. Everyones capable of it.
GotchaBoii i revise and revise and do well and i still have panic attacks and worry because of anxiety
People with anxiety (myself included) struggle with even pushing ourselves to revise
worst mistake i did was sleep through all my maths mocks. now my predicitok is a 2😭😭😭 imagine not doing gcses and still having to resit🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love you Maddie
Also just do your exams - even if you fail at least you tried and you know it’s lot you’re area your good at.
I have my mocks tomorrow and I haven’t revised 😭😭
Teachers need to be paid more!!!!!
Finished my real GCSEs and results in 2 days
mock are pointless..... aged well
‘And the worst one’s probably my phone’ how is she even allowed her phone in the exam??
My teacher would force me in ahah they could nee care less
Hannah bobson the fact they would force you in proves they care otherwise they wouldnt bother and let you miss it
Good
You don't need exams to get a job. I ended working in a medical device company without doing my exams in school
Most of the people in my year don’t go to all their mocks
Look at mans beard at 16! I didn’t have a beard like that until I was 22 😂
Whaaaat? I didn't know they did educating greater Manchester lol 😂 I live in Manchester
😂
When did year 11 stop looking like this. I’m in year 11 and we all look like year 9s
I'll be honest I have always genuinely enjoyed school but don't do well on exams
I’m so happy I didn’t have to do my GCSEs and still got my grades. Fucking hell it looks stressful
I started doing exams last year. I’m in year 10
Wish my teachers had cared that much. To be fair, they might have and I was just a little shit!
