•

Make a revision timetable and stick to it

•

Do lots of questions and work on any area you get wrong

•

Have a tidy and distraction free workspace

•

Try not to burn yourself out revising cos then you’ll have no energy when you’re doing the actual papers lol

Well I need some context ofc. What grades are you working at in class tests for example? And are your school giving you full papers? In which case have you covered all the content for subjects or just paper 1 etc?

Hi , I just wanted to know the best tips and revision to get 9s in my November mocks so I can get into my dream sixth to form?

First well done on starting now and not last minute.

I would advise:

•

Be consistent and regular, work throughout the week a bit everyday

•

Make flashcards to remmeber everything

•

Revise the top themes, quotes, all key content from your teacher

•

Use Mr salles or Mr everything english for quick reminders

•

Use Tilf website to practice essay writing with the real feedback and mark from the exam

•

Sleep well, eat well, keep a good routine

You need to start now! don't wait for last minute!

You need to be consistent and do a little bit everyday.

For english and history, you can use Tilf website to get a mark and feedback on your essays.
For sciences, I would use Cognito, BBC bite size.
For all, use flashcards!

Do this every week and you'll get the best results. Don't just practice whatever predicted questions, practice all past mock exams.

How much a day do you think I should do to get these grades? And should i just go straight into past paper questions and then use cognito for the stiff i get wrong?

Id suggest doing some quizzes and practice questions. I know people say to do past papers but i actually would advise against this for mocks because you’ll want to have plenty for the actual gcse exam season. Cognito is a really valuable resource for science and maths because it has its own exam style questions and quizzes! For other subjects past papers are alright, as long as you dont exhaust them! Also if you can get any textbooks (especially hodder) those have great questions and tasks in them 🙂
But yeah other than my technicality (which you can ignore if you like!) that sounds like a great method!
