Alternative study method?

Hi everyone!
As someone going into year 11 in a few days, I’m of course stressing about GCSEs. This got me thinking about different ways to revise the subjects I’m not doing so great in. I have a 2hr commute each way and usually listen to podcasts, so I thought why not record myself reading study notes and listen back to them on the commute? Good idea or no? Let me know what you think, or if I should make it like a public thing! If I listen to anything enough times it’s sure to stick in my head, like a song :smile: thanks
yeah, that could be a good idea. however, I personally cannot stand the sound of my own voice on recordings, so if that's the same for you, you could always download youtube vids.
& wow, 2 hour journey?! what time do you wake up & go to bed. Your secondary school must be legendary for you to do that hike everyday
