Is Year 9 too early to be thinking of GCSE's?

Not sure if i should start really thinking of them, too early? I really want to succeed and not cram or panic!

If there's one thing i've learnt in life, it's that you can never be over-prepared.

Whilst you don't by any means have to start doing several hours of GCSE revision per day, focusing some solid revision time on your GCSE courses now will make life so much easier for you come year 10 & 11.

Best of luck with your studies

You should be thinking about subjects you like and might want to do for 2 more years. So should also be looking to rejoice when you get to drop some subjects you hate.

How about taking notes in subjects I do want to keep? Will it benefit me?

Thank you! How much solid revision of GCSE courses a week or day? And do you think note-taking will help?

Honestly the two years over year 10 & 11 are easily enough time to get all your GCSE revision in, but if you wanted a headstart I would say do an hour a day on a certain subject (on top of your year 9 work). It will definitely add up over the year.

As for note-taking, it depends on your style of learning. I never really saw the point as everything can be found in a concise form within textbooks; and they have example questions and diagrams to accompany it.

Personally, I find the best way to revise is to do as many past papers as you can get hold of.
