GCSE Year 10 Mocks

With science, a lot of the content is quite memory based so make sure you’re continually reviewing topics. One way of doingthis is sites like Tassomai and StudySmarter which use spaced repetition questioning. Or you could blurt on a few topics eachweek and see what youre forgetting. Like with maths, doing practice questions often will mean you know what you need tofocus on.
Once youre aware of a weaker area, watch a video and try your recall task again. I found for science that anything visual reallyengaged me- use some coloured pens, modelling clay, a whiteboard… anything that will make you think about what you’relearning a bit more.
The question types are really important so doing exam style questions is a must. Application of knowledge isvery important so practicing applying your knowledge is really useful- often it could be applying your knowledge to practicalskills so make sure you have a generally good knowledge of practicals too. 15% of your exams will be on working scientificallyso revising this is essential. FreeScienceLessons have a good playlist on that content and then you’ll need to review requiredpractical methods (check out the videos by Malmesbury science and ScienceShorts for this).
There’s also going to be plenty of calculation questions in science, in some parts of chem and across physics especially. This isagain practice, IsaacPhysics is a fantastic resource for this.
For physics I recommend using Cognito and CGP books because those are very visual whichi always found helped me. 40% of your marks come from calculations so make sure youregood with those (Isaac physics is great for practicing them) and you understand convertingbetween units and stuff. 15% of the content is on working scientifically- use theFreeScienceLessons playlist and the compilation video of gcse physics practicals onScienceShorts (both YouTube). Doing past paper or exam style questions will help you applyyour knowledge The rest of the marks (45%) come from content so make sure you knowwhat needs to be covered and you understand all the key concepts and definitions. Likes likeCognito and Seneca are good for quickly checking what you know and filling gaps in memoryand then CGP books and Bitesize are the best for teaching yourself stuff you forgot. Hopethat helps!
Happy to try answer any questions 🙂 I did history and triple science last year and got 988 in them (physics, chem, history)
