Summer revision ??

So I'm currently in year 10 and in a few weeks we are going to break up for summer. What do you suggest I do with my summer as I dance a lot and I won't have a lot of time to revise throughout the year. I don't know what to do does anyone have any suggestions

No studying for the first few weeks. Maybe one week before, go over all your notes.

If you really will have less than 1 hour a day to revise because of dancing, then study ahead after having a summer break. This is easier for subjects like maths, the sciences, history, religous studies.. a bit trickier for languages, English...

Hmmm I disagree tbh. It would be easier for subjects like english

I mentioned English as I feel there's less structure to the courses (you're given books and plays and poems and have to analyse them ... painful) and you can study a number of techniques for this and make loads of notes on different themes like love, conflict, power... which is okay, assuming you know exactly what you need to know. But you can do all that via independent study and not really be sure if you're prepared or not.

Whereas with the sciences and other essay based subjects that you've got a textbook, you process and understand everything in it and you're okay.

But that's my perspective as someone who was taught for their GCSEs, including English, but self studied sciences later on. And I think that English is one of the toughest GCSEs to do really well in.

What GCSE exam boards are you doing? If you are doing AQA 9-1...then re-read all your books and your poems in the summer and try to memories them. Advice coming from a student who got triple 9s in maths, English lit and lang (only 2000 people in the UK got that).

I just finished year 11 and honestly just enjoy the summer. I didn’t revise at all for my GCSE’s only the night before lol but I suggest preparing a bit towards the end and start when begin year 11. It’s a crap year but good luck.

Revising in summer?

IN YEAR 10?!
DAFOOK wrong with you?

1) CONGRATS on the 9s!!!
2) do you have any tips for English lit? I’m doing inspector calls,jekyll&hyde and macbeth on AQA. What how did you revise for it? Like did you do lots of essays or just remeber quotes themes context etc? And for language -HOW TF DO YOU REVISE IT?!!??! Any help would be appreciated x

Ha Ha ha . I did exactly inspector calls, jekyll and hyde and macbeth on AQA. Tips for english lit? Look at other people's essays on the internet-not talking about bbc bitesize. Also try and find other school's revision quide pdf documents

Here are some useful links for Macbeth...not sure if they work tbh

English lang on the other hand is all down to you. How sophisticated you are as a person or how many "interesting" vocab (not talking about using the thesaurus) you know.

I PM-ed you )

Sorry for not responding...I can't seem to find my resources...I will try and find it asap (busy because of my friends)
