      Doing that is not actually a bad thing... You can make notes and then learn off these notes by covering them and trying to blurt as much as you can remember. Re-writing in that way, for me at least, is effective but it's different for everyone.

      @@SparkMediaProduction I'm in Year 13, and I've found that I learn similarly to you (need notes to do well). I made comprehensive notes at GCSE (for triple science and comp sci at least) using a combination of the CGP guides, kerboodle textbooks and ABOVE ALL the specification. If you want to avoid the 'copying the textbook', I suggest keeping a printout of the spec or always pulling it up when making notes - it lets you know exactly what the textbooks may have missed or more likely the unnecessary details it includes. Keep in mind this 'unnecessary stuff' is what fills a surprising amount of the kerboodle textbook. Tbh, I disagree with the idea that you shouldn't make personal notes - be realistic, most of us in class are half taking in concepts - we spend most of the time scribbling down stuff rather than understanding it. Those notes you take in class will mean little to you even if you stare at them at home - further research is needed to make it sink in unless your teachers are exceptional or you are a genius. Still, taking the time to tune your class notes according to the spec might be a better compromise if you don't like the idea of starting from scratch.
      For context, I got straight 8's and 9's at GCSE, with 9's in all the sciences, and I'm predicted 3 A*s at A level (Maths chem bio).
      Edit: Make sure you hand write ALL your notes - it is scientifically proven that hand written notes are more effective for long term memory and exam performance.

    This is from someone who’s done them and A-Levels. Revise and try and do your best to get good grades but live life also. GCSEs are mostly stepping stones. Don’t loose focus of what actually makes you happy. It’s okay to get just maths and English if that’s your best don’t feel restricted. Not everybody is wiz kid.

      @@jessy4458 what always helped me was speaking out loud. Pretend you are a teacher and speak the information. Doing past papers and exam questions is always v good. Don’t worry if u don’t think it’s not all going in. COLOUR as well don’t write in black or blue pen if u can, your mind remembers colour more. Ask others to quiz and just make sure for the exam you are prepared as u can be. Just try your best. Another tip especially for essay subjects (English) it’s always good to make it seem like you know what your saying so don’t leave a question blank EVER and a bit of guessing/ waffling won’t go a miss if you are unsure. Hope that helped, good luck.

    *Rather than taking notes i write questions*
    *Upon finishing writing all the questions, i test myself (implementing active recall)*

    London, the capital of England and the United Kingdom, is a 21st-century city with history stretching back to Roman times. At its centre stand the imposing Houses of Parliament, the iconic ‘Big Ben’ clock tower and Westminster Abbey, site of British monarch coronations. Across the Thames River, the London Eye observation wheel provides panoramic views of the South Bank cultural complex, and the entire city.

    Udoka, I would disagree about not making extra notes. There's a lot more information you can find in CGP books, revision guides, Bitesize etc. I would only say oversimplify as much as possible and spend as little time on them but cover the content properly. Don't waste precious time making them look aesthetic because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter as long as they're effective. After that, usually you should move on to practice papers and just understand how to apply the topic.

      I absolutely second this, I'm gonna paste an earlier comment of mine for any Y10's/11's/12's debating whether they should make extra notes.
      I'm in Year 13, and I've found that I need notes to do well. I made comprehensive notes at GCSE (for triple science and comp sci at least) using a combination of the CGP guides, Kerboodle textbooks and ABOVE ALL the specification. If you want to avoid the 'copying the textbook', I suggest keeping a printout of the spec or always pulling it up when making notes - it lets you know exactly what the textbooks may have missed or more likely the unnecessary details it includes. Keep in mind this 'unnecessary stuff' is what fills a surprising amount of the Kerboodle textbook - there is no harm in learning it but it does make note making more tedious and undesirable in general.
      Tbh, I disagree with the idea that you shouldn't make personal notes - be realistic, most of us in class are half taking in concepts - we spend most of the time scribbling down stuff rather than understanding it. Those notes you take in class will mean little to you even if you stare at them at home - further research is needed to make it sink in unless your teachers are exceptional or you are a genius. Still, taking the time to tune your class notes according to the spec might be a better compromise if you don't like the idea of starting from scratch.
      For context, I got straight 8's and 9's at GCSE, with 9's in all the sciences, and I'm predicted 3 A*s at A level (Maths chem bio).
      Edit: Make sure you hand write ALL your notes - it is scientifically proven that hand written notes are more effective for long term memory and exam performance.

    I’m also sitting mocks in January. I do believe that everyone has their own way of revisions. If it works for you, then it’s not ‘wrong’. Personally, I take notes to recap the topic, then I do Seneca to recap further, before testing the knowledge with Flashcards and past paper questions. That works for me, and everyone has their own way.

    Listening helps me so much. When I just read off a page I can’t remember at all, but being told it, everything just sinks in. When I learn something I either ask my teacher to explain it to me like a story, or my friends, or I even record myself doing a storytelling of the information. I did that for my biology mock, I remembered everything. When I got into that exam hall, all the questions were things I had revised and knew like the back of my hand.

      Relax, start revising seriously Around 3months before mocks (if your on target) and if your struggling then start revising 5 months beforehand
      For now just revise what you’ve learnt on your current day in school and take it easy

      Then do 10 mins revision daily. Once you get used to that take it up to 20, the 30 and before you know it you’ll be revising for an hour daily like it’s nothing. Start off slow but be consistent, make it a habit.
