    Gcse exams revision tips ? Please ?
    Ok so in about 3 weeks time I am doing my GCSE Exams (year 11), I can do basic revision such as read from resource books,online and past papers.But I want to achieve the highest possible grades , most of my targets are C and English and Maths are B, I would really like to get those B's and perhaps a B in Additional Applied Science, So has anyone got any tips on the best way to revise for gcse's as I have the FEAR im gonna fail and going to have to retake next year, I just want to get C and Above ..... .

    Well it may seem pretty simple and i'm going through mine next week (RS Exam) but I guess just focus and maybe even ask your teacher for some extra material you're stuck on, ignore the fact it may be neekish or nerdy...
    Just remember if you're a player or good with the girls at this moment in time books before hooks
    Hope it kinda helps...

    I did lots and lots of past papers. Lots of mind maps and I put post its all over the house so I was constantly taking in information. Good places are on light switches, doors, mirrors etc. I also had a glass door on my shower so I would stick posters and post it notes on the outside so I would have to look at them. Plus the shower was a good place to 'revise' because there were no distractions like facebook or twitter or TSR aha.

    I got 2 A*s, 7 As and 1 B so it didn't go too badly all together!
