Should I make my revision resources?

Im in year 12 and I was planning to make my revision resources over half term. I do bio, chem and English lit. However, the whole process of making stuff during GCSEs took up too much time which I could’ve spent revising and I didn’t even end up using some of the stuff I made. Is it worth it to use pre made flashcards, because I know a lot don’t have all necessary content or just niche things from the spec. But honestly I really just want to spend as much time as possible revising and I know I will get burn out/ irritated from making resources. Has anyone got any recommendations for flashcards, mindmaps, just anything that I could use for my subjects? Or should I make my own?

Hi, I’m Y13 and do chem. Personally I don’t make many revision resources as there is a lot of content, but I do make flashcards from time to time on things like key facts and definitions, as well as bits I have trouble remembering.
I’d say if making lots of resources doesn’t work for you, then don’t. There are plenty of resources (esp. exam Qs!) on the internet and elsewhere, so as long as your revision is active you should be fine.
As well as flashcards, I use things like exam questions, wider reading (helps me to understand), topic summary pages, summarising notes with pictures (helps!)), and recording myself briefly explaining the topic (gives me mini podcasts to listen to).
Hope some of that helps!

hi what do you use for wider reading

Wider reading can be anything that you’re interested in. I have a few textbooks and other books, have some websites that I like to read, and (although it’s not reading) I sometimes watch videos as well. I reckon just google topics you’re interested in and you’ll find some good pages.
Do you have any specific subjects that you want to read around?

i'm really interested in climate change and climate science. That would link well to biology but not so much chemistry
