Please Please Help - Exam Revision

My GCSE exams are in June 2005 and i am looking to get high grades, along the lines of a 3 A stars and majority of the rest, A's.
However whenever I try and sit down to revise i am never able to concentrate properly or feel bothered. With the same issue being in homeworks and courseworks, I always wait till the last few days to complete it and somehow come out with good results.
I know I cannot use this method with my GCSE exams as it is too risky and not the way to get the grades i want. Could you please tell me what i could do to improve my situation?

Sat my first prelim today and as soon as I opened the paper I cursed myself for being too bloody lazy to study. :mad:
have you done GCSE mocks? i had mine the January before the june final exams and found most of my revision for those paid off for the finals. so although its a long time in advance, its good to try and start the work now!
just wait till you get to A-levels, GCSE's are a piece of cake compared to them, i think thesite provides a page giving help.
Maybe not the answer you wanted to hear, but nevertheless hope it helps!
Nevertheless, what you need to do is start revising now.
Dedicate a few hours a week to writing up your notes on the computer, or rewriting things out on paper and putting them in a file. Maybe read them out to yourself.
When they're all written up, test yourself. Write essay plans and essays. Ask family members to test you on things.
I've also found a good way for me to remember things is to write them out over and over again.
If you revise as you go along, it will seem a lot easier come exam time.
:yes:
So true. Got me through all my exams!
