GCSE mock exams are an essential aspect of preparing for success in students’ final assessments. At NLG, we understand the significance of these mock exams. The exams, usually held in November/December (and sometimes February), serve as valuable indicators of the final grades.
Understanding the Importance of Mock Exams:
Mock exams provide a realistic preview of the challenges students will face in their actual GCSEs. They are not just practice runs; rather, they offer insights into current strengths and areas that require improvement. By taking these assessments seriously, students can identify gaps in their knowledge and tailor their revision strategies accordingly.
Access to School Resources:
Schools play a pivotal role in supporting students through their GCSE journey. Most good schools will provide revision materials, and some will even hold revision sessions or workshops for students who may be at risk of falling behind. The curriculum covered in class will be published on their websites and will give a good indication of what students need to know for their final examinations.

GCSE Revision Strategies
Creating a good revision environment is essential. Encourage students to create a quiet and dedicated study space, free from distractions. Students will ideally have their own workspace, but if not, any table in a quiet room of the house works just as well. Additionally, developing a structured revision timetable and breaking down subjects into manageable chunks, can make their revision process more effective.

Some Popular GCSE Revision Tips
Whichever method works best for you, be constant and don’t cram at the last minute or you’ll be more likely to be stressed out. Whatever you do, make sure you give yourself time to rest and have fun.
Importance of Nutrition
- If allowed, bring a water bottle into your exam. A study involving university students revealed that those with drinks, especially water, during exams performed approximately 5% better than those without.
- Kickstart your day with a generous glass of water or fruit tea. Women should aim for about 1.6 litres of fluid daily, while men should target 2 litres – equivalent to eight to ten 200ml glasses! While water is the ideal choice, other healthy beverages like milk and small amounts of fruit juice count too.
- Research shows that students who have breakfast tend to do better in exams. To optimise your morning meal, include slow-release carbohydrates like porridge oats, whole grain bread, or low-sugar muesli, as they provide sustained energy. Add a protein source such as milk, yoghurt, or eggs to promote lasting fullness.
- Staying hydrated is crucial - even mild dehydration can lead to tiredness, headaches, and reduced alertness.
- Although tea and coffee count towards fluid intake, they are high in caffeine. It's advised to steer clear of sugary fizzy and energy drinks, as they can lead to energy crashes.

We love receiving feedback from our students and families, and thought you might like to read what they have to say about us! 🌟✨
Lia Lingard2024-08-20My daughter has done a few lessons but I'm really impressed already with the format and that she has access to two online learning platforms included in the tutoring price (Reading Eggs and MyMaths). The initial assessment helps determine where your child will need help/what level they're at. It's definitely up to parents to listen to tutors feedback and help support their learning further by engaging with it and ensuring they get the most out of tuition by utilising the learning tools outside of sessions. The 1-on-1 is just what we needed as our daughters struggled since lockdown to "catch up", and busy classrooms don't always have time for the extra support where some children are struggling to understand basic building blocks to support the next step up. Kelly.P has been great in her communication, feedback and emails. She's very supportive and encourages my daughter with positive reinforcement. So glad we chose NLG.Rebecca Shilling2024-07-16Since having a tutor my daughter is now confident enough to learn independently thanks to much understanding and patients 🙂Darius Ardeleanu2024-07-01Teaching same work as my school, so i can improve my GCSE and good teacher and good attitude (Nick Watkinson and Nisar Iqbal)Michael Ingle2024-06-07Marisa Liew my sons maths tutor was amazing she helped him understand topics which he didn’t and his confidence has grown thank you for helping him.Mihai-Emilian Niculae2024-05-17After two rewarding years as a tutor with the NLG, I'm compelled to leave a glowing 5-star review for an organization that truly deserves it. Having had the privilege to guide over 100 students on their academic journeys, I've witnessed incredible growth, not only in their educational pursuits but also in their personal development. This experience has been nothing short of transformative, for both my students and myself. Collaborating with a group of dedicated, passionate, and supportive colleagues has significantly enhanced my teaching practice. The environment fostered here encourages innovation, continuous learning, and a genuine care for the success of each student. This team synergy is palpable and extends into every tutoring session, making our collective impact even more profound. Reflecting on my time here, I'm immensely grateful for the opportunities to grow professionally, the meaningful connections forged with students and colleagues, and the positive learning outcomes we've achieved togetherGeorgeta Ardeleanu2024-04-12I really happy with Darius Tutoring, English!Well Done !Nick Watkinson2024-03-23Been tutoring with NLG for around 2.5 years now and I've seen around 45 students through during my time here. They offer a fantastic service for students but also for tutors. A platform orientated around delivering the best possible support and lesson delivery. tutors you get all you need to manage your own schedule. Students you get the flexibility needed to work alongside your studies.dawn grazette2024-03-22My son went up 2 sets in English due to the tutoring that he has been receiving from Nick. He has grown in confidence in his ability. Date of experience: 15 MarchElena Ktorou2024-03-19Grades have rapidly increased from being tutored by Nick Watkins in english. Great tutors. Fun and helpful.Sam Richardson2024-03-11I truly regret ever employing this company to assist with my son’s preparation for the 11+. The tutor we were allocated constantly called him the wrong name, was late to nearly every meeting but happy to finish on time meaning we have wasted time and money. Never actually taught anything just made him read lengthy passages over and over. Couldn’t even be bothered to mute herself half the time so we could hear everything going on in the background (including her shouting at her own kids). We were 6 lessons in, I had already called the team to raise a concern but took it further after realising they hadn’t resolved the initial complaint. They made promises to find a new tutor immediately and made me believe they took my concerns seriously however the tutor in question called me at work asking why I had cancelled the lessons with her (again calling my son the wrong name) which just made it clear nothing had been done ‘in office’ as promised. Their response to that was if she called again for me to tell her to call her manager. I was told they have ample tutors yet we haven’t been offered a replacement. I don’t like to be vindictive or petty and write negative reviews however I have never come across a company more incompetent than this one. Full of false promises that never come to fruition. We have now wasted nearly £300 and 4 weeks of time we do not have to waste.
