gcse revision timetable

So gcses are in 3 months (scary!), and I want to start making a revision timetable for over half term, but I am unsure how to best do this. Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you x

Hi. Some people like to allot a specific time period or length of time each week to a subject. I personally just like to create a to-do list at the beginning of each week and do whatever tasks I feel like doing each day.

I suggest you try each method and see what works best for you.

I hope this helps, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask me. 😊

Hey @BethanygH.,

Well done on deciding to start your revision prep over half-term! 🙂

I posted a blog about creating revision timetables a few weeks ago that might be of use: How To Make A Revision Timetable That Works For You.

Hope this helps and best of luck with your GCSE revision,

Hi @BethanygH.

I used to use a combination of different approaches that have been suggested. I would start off by making a to do list of everything that I needed to do prior to my exams. I would then divide this over the weeks, leaving time closer to exams to focus on doing full past papers. I also found it helpful to make a weekly planner to identify what days I would revise and what days I had other things that I needed to do. Then, each week I would decide what I would do each day based on the weekly to-do list I created at the start. A benefit of using a to-do list is that it ensure that you revise everything that you need to prior to your exams.

Hope that helps!
