Has anyone started revsing for GCSES?? >_<

Has anyone revised? and has a fixed study plan?
or if anyone who has done their GCSES and got A/A*

Please give tips on how to achieve the best!

I haven't started studying yet seeing as I just finished my mocks haha. But the plan is to finish rereading the English Literature set texts by mid February (and then read them again in April). I'm also writing out notes slowly for all of my subjects. Tbh I'm rubbish at revising, I usually just pay attention in class, take notes and rewrite them later and flip through some revision guides, but my grades for my mocks were alright considering my laziness (3 A*s, 6 As and a C (really silly mistakes with Physics)). On the other hand my best friend studied everyday during the holidays by doing PYPs everyday, making notes and going through difficult topics with her 4 different tuition teachers (She got 5 A*s, 2 As and 3 Bs for mocks). Revision really depends on what works for you but just make sure not to burn yourself out (happened to my best friend, her first few exams were great and then she got sick and then yeah) - so I guess just make sure you check what your exam board wants from you (especially if you're taking ICT, they're so picky), read over all of your notes and summarise them, work through PYPs and USE YOUR TEACHERS. If you have any questions, do ask them. I failed my physics cos I didn't make use of my booster classes and was unsure about how to do some of the drawing questions etc. Hope this helped even though I haven't completed all of my IGCSEs yet (did two last year) but I've got a few friends who did and basically passed on what they told me

Hi there!

I'm currently in year 11 too, and I have just started revising for GCSE few days ago. No, I don't have a study timetable to follow. For now, I plan to do 1 subject, about an hour to 2 hours daily. As GCSEs gets nearer, most probably, I'll be doing extra 2 hours of revision a day, and when April arrives, I plan to do 5 hours of revision a day if I don't procrastinate

Usually, I'll make notes for certain subjects that requires a lot of memorizing and facts such as biology. For geography, flash cards is my best friend. If I don't really understand a topic, I'll enter BBC Bitesize, which contains simplified notes.

Just be hardworking and try your very best, and the A's and A* will come out!

I am currently a year 11 student and yeah I have started revising. I usually don't do plans but I spend more time studying subjects I am week on. It really helps me.

I only revise when I want to. I never force myself to revise because you'll learn far more if you actually want to learn. I did this for my mocks, and got 9A*s and an A. My advice is to get motivated, and you'll end up revising effectively.

Has anyone revised? and has a fixed study plan?
or if anyone who has done their GCSES and got A/A*

Id say your more like me! revision plans Do NOT go to plan! i tried it once the first day was amazing then I got lazy -_-
But Thanks alot!

Ahhh thats a really good way of revising i wish you luck and thankyou for your advise it really helped! Flashcards ey! iv bought a few packs! planning to use them soon! Id say sticky notes are my bestfriend :P

I start revising 2nd March up until 24th March to consolidate on all exam material. Then from 30th March - 11th April for subject specific work, for example I will revise and go over bits I still don't understand.

Monday 13th April is when I begin the vicious revision cycle all the way until Tuesday 16th June! It is going to be tough, tiring and will cause a few mental breakdowns along the way - but lets face it, it's 2 months of my life which will affect much more and will stay with me for my whole life. Plus I do have just under 3 months on holiday (mostly sleeping)!

I've got a timetable day to day of units to complete, but no time limits. This way I can stay focused on the revision and not worry about time. Plus chances are I wouldn't have followed timings anyway.

Oh woahhhh you have everything planned out! Really organised?! Thanks for sharing your revision schedule! Seems really good and motivates me to plan my own out! thanks loads and wish you luck on your exams!
