I was wondering what ways you revise, perhaps how long too? Also if you are a girl/boy as perhaps we revise differently.
I personally did most of my GCSE revision whilst trampolining, cycling (listening to audio) and revise for 20 minutes, and have a break for 10.

Condensing notes into flashcards, pinning them onto my notice board and reading them when I brush my teeth.
For chemistry, I read chemwiki because it's helpful to apply ideas I've learnt to new contexts. Doing loads of questions, past papers etc. And a newer one: Answering people's questions on TSR. I watched the threads for all my AS exams, and helped people with last minute questions. At GCSE I downloaded some podcasts onto my phone and listened to them, but it wasn't for me. I find it more useful to read, write, and type. -

-Add some snippets of my own comics! E.g. when I went over osmosis I drew an army of stickmen who were actually droplets/particles of water with their swords who were ordered to invade a blood cell because the concentration is lower.
-I like to come up with analogies, even if they sound so stupid.
-Usually I take notes and if I'm bothered I'll add some drawings which helps cos I don't get as bored and a while ago I used to draw comics (not like DC comics but my own style of drawings)
-Tbh for GCSE I usually game on the first part of the day or watch a movie or something and then as soon as its 6pm or night time I'll start revising. (Idk it just switches me on)

Do past papers. Most people use them for exam preparation, but I also use them to help drill concepts into my head. As for learning how to answer questions, I just pay attention in class and thoroughly read the mark scheme for each question I answered incorrectly to see what I should've done. Keep in mind, I've only done this for maths (C1 and C2) so far, and can't comment on the effectiveness for more qualitative subjects like English and history.
