If you're basically copying information out of a textbook and memorizing it (which is what most of GCSEs really is), always re write it more concisely, and how you would understand it.
•
Do past papers!!!! I cannot stress this enough!!! Do one every week, get to know how to handle 'curveball' questions, don't just look at the textbooks and assume that because you have the knowledge that you will be able to get all the marks. Newsflash ; GCSEs are incredibly bizarre in what they might ask you - a lot of the questions in subjects like the sciences are just common sense answers - you wouldn't even need knowledge of the course to answer.
•
Just because a lot of the course is common sense doesn't mean that you don't need to memorize the course in detail. Something tiny in the textbook could be the subject of the big question with the bulk of the marks. Know everything there is to know about the course.
•
It doesn't matter how much revision you do - if you know the course; you know it. Simple as that. The only preparation you can do after the course has finished and you KNOW it is past papers.
•
Get your practice papers marked - see how teachers and examiners mark them.
