GCSE revision

I'm in year 10 and have started making my gcse resources (flashcards on anki).

Is there any advice anyone has to give?
The techniques I am going to employ are:
Spaced Repetition.
Active Recall.
The Pomodoro Technique.
A retrospective revision timetable.
Textbooks and youtube videos for consolidation, with flashcards for memorisation.
Past papers closer to GCSEs for technique.

Our school hasn't done mocks yet, so I can't give an accurate prediction of what I'm on track for, but I'd say it's mostly 9s.

GCSE subjects:
Mathematics - Edexcel
Physics - AQA
Chemistry - AQA
Biology - AQA
English Literature - Edexcel
English Language - Edexcel
History - Edexcel
French - AQA
Statistics - Edexcel
Computing - OCR

I'm also taking an AQA level 2 qualification in further maths.

I would like to know any advice people have to say on GCSEs, no matter how obscure.

Thank you! :smile:

Revise with past papers and things it helps so much to get used to the layout and question type, for french its really annoying but listen to french music adn read frenhc books its more engaging and helps with undertsanding and ur listening papers

Hey! For science I would definitely recommend freesciencelessons and cognito (which also has loads of revision resources on the website which is completely free).
As for English, I do AQA but I think Edexcel is similar (I may be wrong)- Mr. Salles, Stacey Reay and Mr. Everything English have sooo many useful YouTube videos all themes and characters.
French- If you have access to Netflix or other channels that allow you to change the audio of what you're watching, I'd 100% try watching TV shows in French and adding English subtitles.
I hope this helps and good luck in your GCSEs, but don't stress too much you've got loads of time :smile:

Thank you for the tips!
I knew about most of those and I’m not stressed in the slightest. :smile:

Looking for straight grade 9s and full marks in maths.
