Year 11 GCSE revision

Year 11 is not “revise everything”. It is: sit a mock, list the topics that cost marks, sprint those topics, then sit another paper. Do that in Maths, Science and both Englishes.

After every mock

  1. Open the paper. Highlight every question below half marks.
  2. Name the topic (expanding brackets, electrolysis, Paper 2 Q5, Macbeth guilt).
  3. Do a ReviseEasy lesson + quiz on that topic the same week.
  4. Re-attempt a similar question two days later.

From Easter

Switch to timed papers from your board (see past papers) plus weak-topic sprints. Do not start a new highlighter set. English Literature needs quotation recitation out loud — silent reading is not closed-book practice.

Frequently asked questions

When should Year 11 start revising?

If mocks showed gaps, start this week — one sprint a night. Waiting until Easter to begin is how people only finish Maths.

Should I revise every GCSE every day?

No. Rotate. A typical night: one STEM sprint and one English sprint, or two STEM if English was in class that day.
