GCSE revision during Easter

Hi guys,

I’m asking on how I should be revising during Easter, for example, a timetable whether I should be revising like 5-6 hours a day and how I can distribute the time I revise for each subject.

I thinking on if I should use the pomodoro method on revising or the leitner system. Also, should I be spending less time on subjects I’m already good at and spend them on subjects I’m weaker at.

Thank you so much

You will find what's best for you in terms of methods. 5 hours a day is plenty, and some days should be a lot less than 5 hours. Unless doing a practice paper, I wouldn't sit for more than an hour looking at 1 thing. 40 minutes is usually a sensible amount of time for concentrating on 1 topic.

Provided you aren't a hayfever sufferer like I am, I would recommend being outside if you have decent weather where you are.

In terms of which things to prioritise. I would try to get an even coverage of all of them, then prioritise which GCSEs you need for your next steps. E.g. If you need certain subjects to progress to college / sixth form next year.
