my parents are so fixed on a crammed revision timetable where I study for 8 hours a day, with each subject being given equal amounts of time which I found super ineffective. having each day on a reasonable amount of content is the way to go. thanks bud.
Hmmph. Say it again. On a real though, (I know it's a little bad, forgive me) but I'm hoping that someway, somehow, they end up having to cancel them because the pandemic really threw me and I'm in a bad spot right now - I'm in Year 11 but I'm still covering things that should have been done in Year 9. I kind of wish that something easier comes in to just make life a little easier for us, especially because we are at a major disadvantage. Then again, my tutor has warned me that because I'm a homeschooled student, I may have to still write exams written by a private exam center, which could be much harder and may have little connection to the exam boards I'm studying, and therefore I will know very little about what'll be on those papers. I just hope I make it through this alive, somebody pray for me😂 EDIT: I should probably apologize for my tactlessness. I know there are many people who really want to write them, and it seems quite selfish of me to want their dreams ruined just because I'm not ready. I'm sorry.
@@freya1253 Wow! Just saw this. Honestly, I was expecting a backlash for insensitivity to people who want to take them, so it's quite refreshing to see some agreement. Thanks for your well wishes! Let's hope Gavin Williamson sees this and does SOMETHING worthwhile!
@@jadynbenneh1176 The only problem with predicted grades is that I really don't want to have to stress about every topic test and work I give back to my teacher, especially as I spent most my years being unproductive and not revising a lot for topic tests. However, I heard they are dropping subjects, being generous with grading, and might tell us the topics in the exams so it generally should be an easier exam compared to other years
@@scarlett8562 While I agree (mostly) with what you're saying, the first isue for me is that I have no predicted grades (I'm homeschool) so that messes up THAT. And then I have to think about if all these things Gavin is saying will apply to me because I'm a homeschooled student sitting CIE IGCSE. Oh, and there a third: since I'm already very behind, there's a high chance I won't be ready enough to sit the papers during exam season (last week I did a full set of IGCSE papers for math and each science, it wasn't great...)? If this is true, what could possibly be on these so called 'books and/or sheets' that could help me but wouldn't be cheating? Forgive me for anything naive I've said, as I previously mentioned it's very hard to find news regarding homeschooled CIE IGCSE students...
You're lucky that you get home early by 3:10. I leave school at 3:10, at most cases I have interventions and reach home by 5:30 so that really pulls me back
Finishing my gcse's in about 6 months so I think if I take a little amount of time from each day using your method for the first while and then progressively spending more time on topics as time moves on I'll be alright. Gl to everyone doing theirs soon.

I would recommend going through the specification in order, it makes more sense to do it chronologically as in the topics towards the end you are expected to know information which you would have learnt in some of the earlier topics. Keep it up tho!
This video really helped... thank you so much ... will defo transfer... one video recommendation I would love to see is how to use anki... I've heard lots about it and wanted to know, how u use it,etc.. for subjects...
Yeah that's definitely in the works I'm just trying to get familiar with it and use it more before I make a video and give out the wrong ideas, so I going to use it actively throughout this week and next week maybe longer and then make a video about it.
I’m in year 9 and I decided to have a go at some of the revising techniques and I tried the respective revision timetable . I have a small maths topic test coming up so I thought it would be the perfect time to give it a go , because of practice for when it comes to actual revision for GCSE’s . So I know which method works best for me . The techniques and revision timetable has helped a lot . I know I haven’t done it to a great scale as it’s only a small test but keep up what you’re doing because it’s helping a lot of people :) !
I had a revision timetable for my GCSEs where I planned everything in December (so the next 16 weeks of my life). I was 28 days behind by the time my exams were cancelled.
Love this guy been subscribed since 1k he is the same age as me but is far more dedicated ie. this guy was revising in year 7 8 and 9. He is very useful and have watched his videos over and over.
Yooooooo thank you so much this is so useful. They don`t even teach this at my private school!!! I understand it better because you have explained it so well. thank you so much.
bit of a late response but this really helped get stress off me as i struggled being organised at making a revision timetable. Thank you very much for the help!!!!!
You know when you do a topic then put how confident you are on the timetable. What do you exactly do when you do the topic? Like do you do Anki flashcards, practice questions or something else???
Dear Udoka Do you still have your retrospective timetable? Because I am doing the same GCSEs, and I can't find the topics I am going to be working on. However, when looking at your one I do see some topics that I am currently doing. If you do, please could you send a link that could show me all of the topics for each subject, it would be greatly appreciated. Yours truly, Noah
How do you decide when to study which subjects to revise and which topics to revise for that subject? I feel like I'm really biased and revise a lot more of the subjects I enjoy.
I can really relate to this. Idk if you still need it, but I tend to do a past paper for the sciences and maths, star any questions I'm not sure of or need a recap of the content and then prioritise my revision around those topics. For which subjects, I look at how much content they are, which do I have the lowest grades on and which do I find naturally easier and naturally harder (so ie, if I don't study for it, do I usually get an alright grade or a really bad grade. in other words, how easy is that subject for me to wing pfft). So for instance, maths requires lots of practice which takes time, history is very very content heavy for me, and bio is content heavy and also one of my worst subjects, so I tend to start with these first. Hope that helps and good luck :)
heyy. love the vid but how do you study for eng a and b? do u use the timetable or not? im doing three languages so I'd like to know how to use them with the time table
I'm going to Yr10 this September but I don't know whether I should use my Yr9 books to do active recall w/ spaced repetition for year10 or look at at the Yr10 specification to prep.What should I do?
If your set on using textbooks, I would revise the stuff on the GCSE specification you have done and then just make sure you understand that don't bother working ahead because you will be taught that so just focusing on understanding the first part of your GCSE course before you move onto year 10 stuff
I've got a pre IGCSE exam in one month in which I need to score atlease 80% Other wise I wont be allowed to sit in the IGCSE exams and I have IGCSE exams coming this may/June and idk anything about it.
But like if you have like lot of topic for that subject how do you know what to do it took me a while to make the table but theres so many sub topics so which can i do so many so its hard to do spaced repition and know what topic to do

I want to make a revision timetable but I don't want to waste time revising things that aren't gonna be covered, as we're getting topic lists in February. What do you recommend
@@sanchayminocha8981 yes, they will. btw i dont think this is for all subjects. for example, i'm doing history ocr b, and the only major change is that schools can drop one study out of four, but they won't be telling us what topics are coming up however, for science, we will be told in february what topics to revise. just ask each of your teachers to tell you the changes or check each exam board for subjects you're taking
I have a Question. So lets say that the school didn't give you the date on when you will learn about a certain topic and you have already done some chapters. Can anyone tell me how to do the date?
@@muhammadjamalchoudhry7292 ayo not too bad of a video maybe you could include clips instead of just a screenshot to interest the viewer but overall nice content
How do you find the chapters, in my CGP book it has the topics but there’s like 10 things per topic, it doesn’t say anything about chapters or did u just make them up?
Thanks for this video! The thing I'm a bit confused about is the dates. Do I fill in the dates that I've done the topic or do I fill the dates that I want to do the topic.
