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:Â
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.Â

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. Â

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.
