You should do some revision in the holidays, making sure you are on top of making revision resources and do a small amount of review of those revision resources as well so then you are ready for September.

Hi,

What grades are you currently working at?

I would recommend to enjoy the break from school and not do to much revision over the holidays, as it may cause you to burn out by the time the exams come around, if you've not had a good break from school related work.

Have you spoken to your teachers about this? As they know you best and how best you work, they may be able to offer advice and show you some good revision resources to look at.

Have you finished all the content for your exams? I remember that in year 11 that I hadn't finished most the content I needed to know for the exams until November time. Most people won't start revision until October or November, and some won't start until the Easter/ spring holidays next year.

If your definitely planning on doing some revision i would recommend making a few revision resources, so that you don't have to do these in year11.

Good luck with your GCSE's next year,

Hi! I would suggest make resources such as notes , flashcards etc..
I started my revision around november as i had mocks.
Good luck!

I started Revision early October and Early May so I was close as possible to the exam season.
