GCSE Revision over Easter Holidays.

Hey everyone! How are you all doing?

How many hours are you guys doing over easter for your GCSES/A-Levels?

I'm aiming for around 8-9 hrs of deep revision. I'm aiming for 8s and 9s.

Subjects & Expected predictions by teachers:

English Lit & Lang - 88
Maths - 9
Further Maths - 9
Chemistry - 9
Physics - 8 (9 if I revise hard)
German - 8 (I'd be happy tbh)
Business studies - 9
Computer science - 9
Music - 8

Is anyone else feeling anxious about their exams? I definitely am!

My structure for the revision in these 2 weeks will be:

First, split into thirds.

1/3 - notes.
1/3 - flashcards and active recalling
1/3 - bash past papers.

Is this a good technique?

Thanks and good luck!
I’d skip notes and go straight to active recall and past papers.

Heya!
This sounds like an amazing plan! Make sure not to spend too much time on note taking though - practice is more important! If it helps, Study mind has free practice questions you can use to help you with your revision :h:

I hope this helps!
