Revision tips:

  • You should be aiming for at least half an hour to an hour a day of revision. By doing this, you will improve your chances of attaining a good GCSE result.
  • You also have your revision notes from your time at school
  • Trying one past paper every few days will let you know the style of questions you will see regularly pop up. Also, look at the mark scheme. That will inform you of the style of answers they will be looking for.
  • Choosing one topic every few days and going through your revision guide will start you off. Once you have done this, try answering the questions in the workbook.
  • If you are stuck on anything, please use the phone number you have been e-mailed and I will help you.
