How to create a revision schedule

1. Identify your subjects and GCSE exam dates

   • List all the subjects you need to revise.
   • Note down the dates of each exam to prioritise subjects and allocate more time to those scheduled earlier.

2. Break down your subjects into topics

   • Divide each subject into its respective topics or units. For example, if you’re studying Mathematics, you might break it down into Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics.

3. Allocate time for each topic

   • Allocate revision time based on the difficulty level or your familiarity with each topic.
   • Give yourself more time for challenging topics or subjects you struggle with.

4. Create a weekly study plan

   • Assign specific days and times for revision while keeping your other commitments in mind.
   • Balance different subjects throughout the week to avoid burning out.
   • Set realistic study sessions and include plenty of breaks to maintain your focus.

5. Use a variety of revision techniques

   • Keep yourself interested by incorporating different techniques into your revision, such as summarising notes, practising past papers, creating mind maps, flashcards, or using online resources.
