Get a really good set of notes now, so you have a revision set and you cna do much more practice on exams and wider reading. Use the summer.

thanks, I am not a big fan of notes, I just find revision guides to be better, but I will use flashcards and use spaced repetition to maximize efficiency

Cant get to 8 and 9s without getting yourself to 7s first.

Don’t leave revision to the last minute, and use your homework wisely. If you do all your homework properly, it can be quite helpful as homework is set for a reason, teachers don’t like extra marking if they can avoid it! Good luck

- Have revision guides to help you
- Make notes/posters/flash cards/mind naps/ whatever sort of written method you prefer to consolidate your knowledge
- Do your homework (no matter how silly it may seem, because in the long run they all build up to help you understand the bigger picture)
- Do any questions in the revision guide/ text books
- Use online material to help you understand topics you find difficult such as websites and videos
- Past Papers: if you do anything, it must be past papers. Old spec, new spec, specimen papers etc. are all incredibly useful in honing in on exam technique which you must master to get the top grades.

Do you have any websites for past papers, especially in maths and science, I have end of year mocks, in under 4 weeks, i have been revising, also should I use my cgp guide or free science lessons for science,I like free science lessons more, as the videos are short and contain practice questions

Physics and maths tutor - past papers and questions by topic
Exam solutions - this has video tutorials and worked solutions to past papers. A literal lifesaver if you ever get stuck on anything
For science I used BBC bitesize (although they've changed it and it doesn't seem so helpful now) and myGCSEscience which is quite good if you have it
As for what you should use, use both! But if you find that one is more helpful than the other, obviously use it more, but CGP has some good practice questions to consolidate understanding so might be worth giving it a shot
