Answer 1

Passing GCSEs is even easier than in my day.
You need to turn up to all the lessons.
You need to do all the homework, for practice, and get most of it right.
Oh- and you need to have a good teacher. (not so easy these days!)
English Language, Art, Cookery you can't revise for anyway, French you need to be sure of the verbs. Maths requires 3 x 1 hours a week, sciences 2 x 1 hours a week. Say 2 hours a night.

Answer 2

what are you doing on Yahoo Answers when you should obviously be revising for your exams. No more surfing the web for you today.
Seriously, I would deal with one subject a day, do not mix up the subjects. Two hours each evening is sufficient. make sure you are in a quiet room (no telly or radio) and that you have no other distractions. Just read your text books, don't try and cram it all in. You'd be surprised that by just reading something you take it all in.
The next night, read a different subject. And so on. When you have done the nine subjects after nine days, return to the first one. Re-read it - you'd be surprised at how much you remember and how familiar it is. That's the key, just repetition of a subject instead of frantic cramming.
Good luck. Now get off Yahoo Answers fast !!!

Firstly, don't panic! You are clearly a focused student to be even thinking about your exams already. I sat my GCSEs last year and the only subject I revised for in advance was History. For others, like biology, I did an hour right before the exam. Not that I am recommending that - It worked for me (6A*, 3A & 1B) but the key is to find what works for you.
Try making notes... I found (for my A-level Jan mods) that recording your notes on to CD was useful for me, as I could then keep replaying them and then I could revise both visually and using audio to make sure it went in. You could also use mindmaps and charts to break up subjects.
I think the key at this stage is to prepare for later - by making notes, charts etc etc, you are revising for the subjects but also making the last minute revision easier... Don't work too hard now though - you don't want to burn out before the time comes.
Good luck!

i find it very hard to stick to a study plan and do the same amount of time each night because it is so hard to plan around other thing, but if you can manage it that would help.

i cant really tell you how many hours because i don't know how well you are doing in these subjects and you will need to spend more time on the subjects you find difficult. heres some tips

1 remember not to study just the subjects you enjoy, but the ones you need to.

2 dont spend too long studying, no more than 3 hours in 1 night

3 work hard and play hard, one of the main things is to make sure you feel good because it will help a lot with how well you do, this means you need to make time for going out, get enough sleep, eat well etc.

Answer 5

I remember not revising anything too early. If you revise NOW for an exam in 2 months time then you would surley have forgot it by then? Use the time to work out your harder subjects so you know what to concentrate on.

A few hours per day, less as you are further away and more as they get closer, is what you need.


Try to have a few minutes break every 15mins to an hour (you want shorter revision spells for tougher subjects) Your brain gets bored and switches off after this time.

Make sure you have enough time to relax and enjoy yourself.

Make sure get enough sleep, your brain works better with enough sleep.

Answer 6

Hi Sweety - just wanted to wish you good luck, and ask you not to panic! Your teachers will probably revise in class with you, and guide your personal revision too. Two or three hours per day should be plenty of time to revise if you are actively working - e.g. making notes, copying diagrams, practising for language orals with a partner etc. Don't overdo it - take some time off to relax and refresh yourself - then you'll start again with renewed vigour.

Answer 7

Erm, I did my GCSE's last year and the best way is to just make notes.. then more notes... then read them... then make more notes etc
If your exams are in two months, maybe do an hour or two on two subjects a night- you'll be fine.

Eventually it will stick in your head :-)

Answer 8

Perhaps you should have concentrated more at school and learnt more?

However I would suggest 2hours max of revision an evening. so if you have 2 months each subject should get at least 12hrs of revision.

Good luck with your GCSE's .... Of course in My day things where a lot hardier and we had to use our brains you know, learn things and if we didn't... biff, biff, biff.....
