GCSE Revisions Tips

I am about to go into yr10 this September - in just over 5 months. This is when the GCSE starts for all topics (except Maths, English and Science, which we started in yr9) - I'm just making this clear in case it's different in other schools, as some start all subjects in yr9.

I really want to do well, and achieve as many 9s as possible, so I wanted to start revision now, but I still haven't found out which revision method works best for me, so all those who know good revision method(s) for revising for GCSEs (or other exams), could you please post on here the best, most effective or useful one(s)?

Hey! Good for you, being proactive in studying is the first step to getting top grades! I'm about to finish my A-Levels but I received all Grade 8s in my GCSEs.
To be honest, the best way to revise is to PRACTISE!! Practise questions and papers are going to be your best friend during your study, so try your best to complete as much practise as possible. As far as knowing the content well, I used to do in-depth notes on my computer, and then summarise those notes onto an A3 poster, and then condensing those further into flashcards - condensing your notes on the content as much as possible will definitely help secure your knowledge.
If your struggling with anything within your content, ask your teachers! If your teachers don't help, USE YOUTUBE!! I was unsure on how to structure my essays, and especially with content in science subjects I would struggle a lot, so I used youtube and the internet to fully understand everything.
CGP textbooks are AMAZING - they really summarise everything in a simple way. These textbooks are not the best for in-depth knowledge but they really help with revision, and if you struggle to understand things fully!
Overall, if you manage your time effectively, you will get the grades you want to get; make sure you take time away from studying too though, it's important not to burn out because this will last over two years, so don't try to do everything in a week! Divide your subjects into modules and smaller topics so that you have a clear idea of what exactly you need to study, and base your study timetable around that.

Hope all of this helps, and if you have any other questions let me know!

people here have got good revision advice but i'd say that you need to most importantly remember that you are in the middle of year 9 so don't waste your life trying to grind out for GCSE's they are far away for you.
