Since there's been quite a few year 10s on here asking when they should start, I thought it would just be easier to make a thread like this so they would get a general idea of when others started.
I started making resources in January but properly started revising in April.
After reading some of the comments in my topic I'm going to roughly start smaller revision at sept. So basically half an hour to an hour per day. So that's basic revision for my mock exams (Nov-Dec) Then I guess I will be fully revising from January onwards…Not looking forward for year11😕
I'm year 10, and I guess I'll revise a little bit this summer. I mean I've been given a lot of homework which is mostly revision anyway. From October half term, I'm going to revise properly, and increase it after I get my Grade 6 piano practical out of the way. I actually am looking forward to year 11 even though it will be hard work, I think it could be fun.
I started in year 10 tbh...I did all of core science & I was revising maths every morning. If you start in September that's fine; the intense revision starts around March/April.
i never properly revised, as in i didn't do x amount of time each night from a specific time or anything. i went to some revision sessions in school, and crammed a lot right before the exam bc i struggled to retain the information i'd learned for more than 48 hours. there isn't really any point in revising from september, you haven't covered everything yet and you'll burn yourself out. there isn't that much to learn, bc a lot of it is just regurgitating facts. focusing on coursework is more important at the beginning.

I revised the night before for all of my exams and so did everyone else. No matter how early you start, it's inevitable that you will forget things so I think it's best to revise around May. I did revise for tests at school though and mocks but just didn't on an ongoing basis. Also, the whole country was unprepared for the Physics exams (the final one) - I'm almost certain I scored under 10/60 on that paper ahahaha.
You'll probably be doing mocks around December time which is when I revised (wasn't really proper revision though). It's good to start proper revision around the Easter holidays and half term breaks for your most demanding subjects.
I revised a bit for the last mocks (can't remember when they were), and continued improving the areas I got wrong. Finally, I went over all of the content in chronological order (with my exam timetable).

I revised the night before for most of my exams, some I just did no revision for. Although I told myself I would DEFINITELY start revision in february, then march, then april... Oh well, it didn't go too badly!

Hey what exam board were you for physics? Was it AQA?
