I once gave advice to my best friend who was struggling to prepare for her GCSE exams, which she was scheduled to take in November. I had just finished my own GCSE exams in May, so she sought my advice. I tried to offer as much guidance as I could because I understood her situation, having been in her shoes myself. I told her not to stress, assuring her that everything would be alright. I also encouraged her to relax and watch as many study videos as possible. She did try to follow my advice, and I'm not sure how she did on the exams, but I hope she found my guidance helpful.
