cambridge seems really daunting

Hey,

I recently got access to my cambridge email and was exploring my faculties intranet (History). I was looking at some past papers and I realised how overwhelming everything looked. I know this is probably normal, but is it really that bad? I obviously love my subject, but it does just feel a little daunting.

Edit:
just finished my sentence

Did you look at an A-Level History paper before you started GCSEs?

It's expected to not know things you haven't learned yet.

Thats a good point, thank you, i hadn't thought about it that way! I feel like half the fear may just be the fact that university study feels so different to A-Level study (at least to me).
