DRAFT 1: GCSE Revision Guide

A Step by Step GCSE Revision Guide:

I’m going to keep this brief - revision is a skill often ignored at secondary school. Consequently, many students gain grades unrepresentative of what they’re capable of. This is a guide aimed to combat this.

General advice:

Create a retrospective revision timetable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7o09a7t4RA&t=597s

Utilise techniques such as: spaced reception, active recall, the pomodoro technique and past papers:

Use Anki for flashcards. However, don’t create your own; import from quizlet!

An ideal revision session:
Go on your retrospective revision timetable.
Find an area of weakness that needs improvement.
Go on to Anki and start reviewing flashcards.
After reviewing the flashcards, blurt out the topic onto a whiteboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgrCo1J9A44
Perhaps do one or two exam questions after this, to consolidate your knowledge, using: https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/

This is a fairly short guide that doesn't go in too much depth about revision, but the videos attached should give you all you need. Additionally, I'm still in Year 10 so I see little merit in detailing the revision techniques for each subject, as I'm sure that, for me, they will drastically change anyway.
