Hey,
I think you should utilize your time to the best of your ability - BE PRODUCTIVE. When you are revising, WORK SMART - eliminate all distractions and place yourself in a distraction-free zone where you can focus.
Personally, I like to use the following step-by-step strategy which helps me consolidate knowledge on every topic :

1. LEARN THE TOPIC
Watch YouTube videos, go over and highlight your revision guides and ask your teacher to explain the topic to you. Once you have COMPLETELY understood the topic, make clear notes on the topic as well as flashcards ( flashcards could be either manual or on quizlet )

2. PRACTICE THE TOPIC
Do practice questions off websites, revision guides and textbooks. Mark them and consolidate any concepts that you don’t understand or are getting wrong frequently.

3.ASSESS
KEEP DOING PRACTICE PAPERS- after you have consolidated and revised the topic to the point that you know and understand it completely, do practice tests and mark them. Again, revise anything you get wrong

There are plenty of resources online that could help.
And don’t take to much stress - GCSE exams are in year 11 so you have a lot of time.

Good post - but this is three years old. Hopefully they’ve completed their GCSEs by now :biggrin:

Thanks for this reply! Yes I’ve done my GCSES now and I actually did well! I’m doing my A Levels next year so your reply is actually still relevant to me. Once again thank you! :smile:
