`GCSE Revsion Notes

Can you please send me your GCSE revision notes for science, history, business and english that were effective for you; as I've noticed that my revision notes arent effcient or thorough at all. I am taking AQA science and OCR history. Thanks so much

My sister's in Y11 and gets grade 9's consistently in GCSE Chemistry (AQA). She uses the notes on https://chemrevise.org/gcse-aqa-guides/ and then does a lot of practice questions using past papers and exam questions by topic that she finds online :smile:

@entertainmyfaith do you still have GCSE notes?

I don't know where she learns the content from, but she does a lot of practice questions using past papers and exam questions by topic that she finds online. This is very important for all of your GCSEs as exam questions are very similar every year, so if you understand how to answer all the questions you come across in past papers, then you'll find the real exam very easy :smile:

I'd advise you not to learn directly from the textbook as it's too time-consuming and has a lot of irrelevant information. If you search hard enough, there should be great notes online for all your subjects. Have a look on this site: https://getrevising.co.uk/
@Infinite Seriesyeah my textbooks are really bad which is who I started this thread because I feel it’s a lot of dribble and nothing is condensed

if you want to be successful in these subjects i would suggest making them yourself because you will gain more benefit from it rather then using someone elses because they might have worded it a certain way to make them understand which might not make sense to you. you could also try making mind maps. just try to write you flashcards or whatever in a different variety and use the wording that suits you best

good luck with ur gcse i'm also doing history(im in yr 10 btw)
@entertainmyfaith thank you so much this is so helpful you have no idea

Yeah I agree, but I like to make my own notes and look at other peoples, in case they have something I don't or they have worded it better etc (especially in English as I am rubbish at it lmao)

Am in year 10 too
