Could anyone sort out a revision regime?

Hi there, I am currently not studying in the GCSE year. Yet I would like it if someone could help me make a possible revision regime for my end of year exams.

Telling me what how you revised would be great.

Im doing Geography, Biology, Chemstry, Physics, Maths, French, Spanish, History, English and Classical Civilisation.

Thanks :smile:

English - read
History - revision guide and look at the markscheme
Maths - revision guide
Geography - remember colouring pencils

When you make your timetable, prioritise the subjects you find the most difficult or where there are the most things to learn. You probably won't be able to concentrate properly for more than 30 minutes at a time, so you could try revising in 30 minute blocks with 5-10 minute breaks in between, but this doesn't work for everyone, so you need to find the way that suits you best. Don't revise for more than about 3 hours a day- if they're only Year 10 exams, they're really not important. They'll give you an idea of how you're doing and what you need to work on, but the results probably won't be used for anything.

English- not really a lot you can do, but reading will improve your vocabulary, spelling, punctuation and grammar and you could practice analysing newspaper reports and writing in different styles, such as to advise, persuade, inform and describe.

English lit (you didn't include it, but I assume you're taking it): know your texts inside out. Re-read them, learn key quotes and make notes on themes, characters and main events. York Notes and Spark Notes are both good.

Maths- past papers. Pick out any topics you can't do and focus on those. Most revision guides give you examples where you're shown step by step how to solve a problem, and the way to do it is practice. Make sure you learn any formulae you won't be given in the exam paper.

Biology, chemistry and physics- CGP revision guides are usually the best for these. Just learn the facts.

French and Spanish- go over vocabulary and grammar. Practice reading online newspapers and any magazines you have. Listen to the radio and watch TV/films with subtitles. You won't understand every word, but you need to be able to pick out the key points. For writing, make sure you know how to start and finish a letter. For the oral, learn your presentation if you have one and learn key opinion phrases.

History- CGP revision guides can be quite useful here too. Learn the facts, practice analysing sources and make sure you can write essays in the time given.

I didn't do geography or classical civilisation, so can't help you there!

Practice papers help

On the bitesize website they have revision planners which you can fill in and print off. Stick them up somewhere you'll see them like above your desk or on the fridge and stick to them

In geography make sure you know the case studies- we did things like the m4 corridor, the car industry in the USA and flooding in various places. Make it so you know some facts about each one- not loads of detail, and can quote figures.

Don't start your revision too early though. There is no point starting revising now for your June exams as you'll wear yourself out and become bored with the subjects. You will also forget what you've learnt now, and have to go over it again. Most people don't start revising until the Easter holidays at the earliest. I think it was mid May before I started.
