Hi guys I'm doing my GCSE's this year predicted 7/8s but i want to aim for higher! Is it just my skwl or do all the teachers say we want you to get your target grades. I think it's stupid cuz those were from ur Ks2 if you put the work in anyone can get a grade 9. It's true and we really need to focus!

for revising science I do active recall and just write and write everything over, I also teach my friends which helps a lot, for english lang I read the examiner report for past papers as it says exactly what they want you to include, for lit I use mr bruff and bbc bitesize for quotes which I do in mindmaps, again talking about it with a friend really helps. For maths I just use mymaths and do as many practise questions as I can :smile:

Yep i use active recall for science and do as many past paper questions. It's so hard for english lit as you need to memorise and also know what is happening and the language and structural techniques there. For maths i do past paper questions as well and make sure i know the formulae.

Do you mean from combined higher to foundation or to the separate sciences? For the mindmaps in science I recall the info and (Don't copy from the revision guide) But condense the information from it to the way I will remember it! Like i'm currently doing the last topic in ecology and it's a long topic so i'm condensing all the information down to a paragraph from each page of my revsion guide. After i've finished a topic i then make flashcards from pastpaper questions and recall info.Good Luck on ur revsion hon x

Thank you!
Yeah I used to do 20 minute slots in year 10 but stopped to do one task and then have a break, I think i'll do the 15 minute thing though

That's great, no problem!

Oh okay I mean you can move up to do higher it won't make much of a difference except from a little bit more in detail and more content to learn. If your willing to put in the hard work in you can do it! :smile:
