Revision help

I have asked this so many times but no one has actually helped me and these GCSE mean a lot to me. Please it would mean a lot if you all posted your revision tips and hacks and how oh revise because I’m sure it will help a lot of people

My opinion
Maths: Videos, notes, past papers ( I also bought the corbett revision cards, they seem great too)
Science: Topic mindmaps, checkpoint quizzes, practise papers
When you revise don't do it for ages without breaks. Revise during the time when you find you work best (e.g. morning, afternoon or evening) and if you know what exam board you are using for each subject and type it in online you could get the topics you need to revise and some sampler questions so you can revise how to answer them

I like to use Pixl maths for revising maths. While it doesn't tell you where you went wrong, which can be frustrating sometimes, it does make you have to think about where you went wrong, and maybe even research where you went wrong, so you can understand it better.

I also like using the 5 a day activity sheets from Corbett maths, and some of the videos are very good as well.

When I am really stuck on something, I just go to a maths revision session. My teachers like to call it "maths clinic" in my school.

My sister got such high grades on her gcse all a and a* so she expects me to get the same
When i revise i like to make summary notes using different coloured highlighters a key. The best method for maths or a language is to teach someone else who doesn't really understand the subject (e.g a parent) this enables you to brake it down and start to understand it yourself.
