  • Don’t leave revision until the last minute – starting early and revisiting topics regularly makes all the difference.

  • Mix active revision (quizzes, practice papers) with reading notes or watching videos.

  • Set small goals: one topic at a time is more effective than trying to cram everything in.

  • Parents: Encourage regular breaks, a quiet study space, and plenty of praise – motivation is half the battle!

    With these free resources, GCSE revision doesn’t have to be stressful. The key is to start early, stay consistent, and use a variety of tools to keep learning fresh and engaging.
