How can i manage to revise learnng new content with balancung to revise ir old content. I was planning to use the pomodoro technique for it but i'm a little stuck. So i was thinking if i was to revise for maths i would revise my new content for 25v minutes then revise for another 25v minutes after taking a 5 minute break for revising the old content in this time. I was thinking to do this for all my gcse and start with the topics which i really sturglle on and cant answer an exam question of. Please let me know if this is a good idea. I did put my core subjects onto a excel spreadsheet where i used the current spec and have rag'd all the topics! Let me know roughly what kind of timetable i should be following as i have less than 200 days till my first GCSE exam yayks!!

it totally depends on how you work and what works for you xx i never actually got into the habit of revising current/new content as we are learning it until i just started year 12. when i started revising for my gcses i just started at chapter 1 for every subject and worked forward. BUT i do think the approach youre taking would be useful xx you could possibly use weekends for new content, since you have more time?

i was advised to buy the CGP Revision Book but personally i didn't find it tooo useful
@freesciencelessons on youtube will save you
i used flashcards (i have revision notes/keywords for ALL topics if you would like me to share them x) and past paperssss. learning your markscheme is so so important (especially in biology)
