GCSE Summer Exams 2014

Wow so many exams, how and when are you gonna start revising for them?

I've started revising for most of my subjects now!
I've made revision cards for each of the topics in the 3 Sciences, PE and Geography. I'm also practicing things I struggle in, in Maths with a friend who studies Maths at Uni or going to school sessions.
Then nearer the exams I'm probably going to do lots of past papers for nearly all the subjects and see where I went wrong and act on it
I try to make sure I don't cram too much revision in exam season by spreading it around the year as cramming the day before doesn't work for me

I started making notes in Year 9-11 and I will return to them very shortly and start memorising them again.

I did that but i'm making new ones again now.
I started revision like in september because we do mock exams in november and also we will do them in march.
This makes us prepared for our exams so its no stress when you're preparing way before the real ones.

So what are you focusing on currently?

My science subjects because we just started the last unit so im making notes and revising at the same pace. I wanna do these in A level too!
However Geography is LOOONG I have a whole stack of revision cards and we haven't even finished the second unit and theres still a third one left. Too much information to remember, Even the smartest people in my year were only able to get a B in their mocks. Geography is no joke.

Hi, I completed Triple Science, Geography and IT in year 9 and 10. I had 12 exams in year 10 (last year) and this year I have...

2 Maths
1 Science (Human health and physiology)
1 English language
1 English literature (unsure on this to be honest)
2 Religious studies
2 History
1 Physical Education

So I'm assuming your doing 7 GCSEs?


So I have... 10 exams, it's a lot lower than some of those who have posted on this thread. Good luck everyone!

Wow so many exams, how and when are you gonna start revising for them?

I use revision cards and I will probably start soon, because I have mocks in February, so I can get a good start on revision!

Nice, what grades are you aiming for?

I'm aiming for A's and A* but I think, I'll get a B in English and History... I have a terrible memory for History!! What about you? Do you want to stay on to sixth form?

Well I'm aiming for majority A*s and some As, but I think for English Ill get a B, because I'm rubbish at writing.
I hope to go to sixth form, but to a different one from my school's, it's a grammar sixth form, but it's pretty new.

Wow so many exams, how and when are you gonna start revising for them?

Nice, good methods, so how many hours are you getting in? Or do you prefer to set targets of what content to learn? Also what grades are you aiming for?

I was thinking of starting revision roundabout now or perhaps at the start of February. I already have some notes from my mocks and the internal exams I have, but I normally makes new ones anyway I'm probably going to spend about a week on each subject depending on how much there is to revise for each subject.

How about you?

I prefer to set targets so I'd aim to complete a topic in a set amount of time. I'm predicted 7 A*s and 5 As

Not really, everything I need to know is on those sheets. I may do some more past papers and stuff but honestly I just need to initiate it and get going. I could probably sit all exams which I've got the notes for and do well, we just haven't finished all the content.

Yeh I'm gonna start revising at Feb half term, I'll making notes out of the revision guide, then learning them, and I've constructed a revision timetable.



Nice, I've assigned two points on the spec for me to learn in an hour or less, good set of grades, there, what do you want to study at a-leve?



Good luck on your exams
