Going to be in Year 11 in September

Hello,

I am going to be in Y11 next year and was wondering if anyone knows a timetable I can stick to for revision to ensure I cover all the content I want to?

How can I revise old content whilst learning new content?

Thanks!

RAG rating, red for the topics you barely know anything about/nothing about/your biggest weaknesses. amber for those you can think you know well but couldn't do an exam question on and green for the content you know and could answer an exam question on.

Maybe if you're unsure on how to RAG rate, or don't know what category each fits in, do practice papers. Mark them yourself with the answer sheets, and find the topic/theme it comes under.

For a timetable, set out more time for the Red rated stuff, and then slowly as you progress it to amber and then green; revise it less. Still cover it, just not as frequently as other red topics.

Make sure to incorporate rest into your timetables, burn out is a very real thing.

Personally, as well, based on the different subjects - eng, maths, science etc.., I'd set out days for each one to focus on it. Maybe on a monday do science and maths, then tuesday english lit and lang, as well as whatever your GCSE options.

Use the summer to catch up on your year 10 work if there's anything you don't know, and if you have time do research on the topics you'll be doing in year 11.
