Put some on the toilet door. You'll go in there quite often! How about roung the computer screen? Revise as you type!

My computer monitor is quite thin and it would be hard to attach anything there but I will try. Toilet door is a good idea :biggrin: Then the whole family would learn about whatever you cannot remember!

Even better! Then they can test you on it

Hi! I am always going on revision websites whilst I am surfing, for instance tonight, I did a 3 month timetable from the BBC One Life site. Post-Its are good, especially in neon colours. I find playing th same msuic each time you start to revise helps too :biggrin:

That timetable doesn't seem to be working again.

Edit - It works for me, do you get any error messages.

I'm making the timetable now since the bbc fixed it now.

Music distracts me actually. For some reason, people don't get distracted revising when having music on. :confused:

I don't get distracted, I put classical music on, which I like anyway. I made my 3 month timetable yesterday using the BBC timetable. The only bad thing is is it doesn't print off the key.

Actually anything that has noise distracts me. :redface:

You could try to set the size of the paper, margins and stuff like that. If that doesn't work, you could write down they key.

Do you think they read your e-mail and fixed it? or do they know the problem already? :p:

Lol, I think I am insignificant to the BBC, they were probably just doing something to the site. I have written down the subjects, I need to write my exams on the timetable now. Tomorrow I am revising Physics, Maths and Music.

Is anyone else beginning to freak out? The exams start in May and I’ve got so much to do, not to mention course work and GCSE drama (which is quite early) Bla, and now the Easter holiday has gone and all i've done is physics :rolleyes: I'm starting to wish I’d done more revision for the mocks :frown: Argh!! Panic, panic, panic.


Looking back on how freaked out I was over GCSE's, I now realise I didn't need to worry so much. There's no point in worrying about what you should have done, it's in the past...Just take it one bit at a time and you'll be fine!

Don't be :frown: ........
be :biggrin:

It is hard not to panic though, I need to find out though whether the school will have revision sessions and stuff after school, I hope they do.
