gcse specifications?

hey so im going into y11 in september and i was just wondering if ALL the content we need to know is detailed on the specification for each subject or if it just provides a brief overview? because i was looking over the specs and it feels like some important content i got taught isn't even on the spec so idk if i should revise it or not.

e.g. for aqa geo, we spent quite a lot of time on climate graphs and biomes (like deciduous forest and savannah..) but they're not mentioned in the specification at all, not even once

Some specifications like edexcel igcse science specs, tell you exactly what you need to know with individual bullet points, im pretty sure that the CIE physics igcse didnt do that, and they only said general topics. If you have been taught something that isnt specifically on the spec, it might be a topic closely related to another, or one that often comes up and ur teacher is just preparing you

i do aqa, do you know if their spec covers everything?

I had a quick look at their spec and I dont think they do. If you go and look at smth like the edexcel specs u can see that its all bullet point exactly what u need to know, edexcel does their specs in much longer paragraph form and arent as specific on the exacts of waht u need to learn

You are wrong - specifications have to cover everything

Im saying this in the sense that if you look up bio edexcel igcse and go to a random topic like ecology, then go to the feeding relationships topic in that, they have bullet points that are very exact in what you need to learn (e.g. understand the names given to different trophic levels, including producers, primary, secondary and tertiary consumers and decomposers).

But some specs like the physics spec im doing, just says "photoelectric effect", with no other information on what you need to know about it. Some specifications are more specific with what you need to know, its not like theyre gonna ask u stuff that isnt on the spec all together, but for me it doesnt specify whether you just need to know how the photoelectric effect actually shows a particle theory of light, or also things like the circutry of how its set up with stopping potential and things like that circuitry, and if a specification is less specific then it might seem like teachers are teaching things that arent outright said on the spec
