When Should You Start Revising for GCSE Maths

Preparing for GCSE Maths can feel overwhelming, but starting smart is key. Whether you’re aiming for top grades or simply want confidence in exams, having a clear plan can make all the difference. If you’re looking for extra support, check out The Profs GCSE Maths Tutors — expert guidance can boost both knowledge and exam confidence.

Start Early, But Strategically Revision isn’t just about cramming the night before. Ideally, begin reviewing topics as soon as you finish them in class. Breaking study into manageable chunks helps retention and reduces stress. For Maths, focus on understanding concepts first, then practising problem-solving regularly.

Set a Revision Schedule A consistent timetable works wonders. Allocate time weekly for each topic, mixing in past papers to test knowledge. Prioritise weaker areas, but keep revisiting stronger topics to maintain balance.

Active Learning Techniques

Practice Papers: Apply knowledge under exam conditions.

Flashcards & Summaries: Quick recall of formulas and methods.

Teaching Someone Else: Explaining topics reinforces understanding.

Mind Your Wellbeing Revision isn’t just mental. Sleep, nutrition, and short breaks enhance focus. Avoid burnout by pacing sessions and mixing different topics to stay engaged.

Closer to Exam Season As exams approach, increase intensity: full past papers, timed exercises, and exam-style questions. Identify patterns in mistakes and adjust accordingly.

Key Takeaways

Begin early, but keep sessions manageable.

Mix active practice with concept review.

Use past papers to track progress.

Consider expert support like The Profs GCSE Maths Tutors.

So I wrote a book!

This is something I’ve been really excited to share- over the summer, me and my friend have written, edited and designed a handbook for students about the climate crisis:

I designed this cover- I’m very proud of it!

This is a book that’s designed to be accessible to any and all students who are freaking out about climate change. It dedicates a lot of time to helping students confront their emotions about the climate crisis, which is something I’ve often found to be lacking in climate discourse.

Before I started doing climate work, I became very scared about climate change, but didn’t feel qualified to talk about the science and policy issues going on because science especially is very much ‘not my academic area’. My hope is that this handbook contains lots of accessibly explained resources that help shed some light on this. No one article in the handbook is longer than a couple of pages, and we’ve designed it to be fairly easy reading.

The final section of the handbook deals with getting involved in climate activism, and the many different forms this can take to help you find some form of climate work that works for you. Some of this is specific to my city and university, but a lot of it is generally applicable, and we’re hoping to produce a national edition later in the year!

Really excitingly, our city’s museum is helping us to publicise and distribute the handbook, and it’s been confirmed that the handbook is being included on the reading lists for several different academic courses, which is super exciting! 

If you’d like to have a read, you can download the full pdf (for free, always) from here: https://climateemergencymanchester.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Student-Climate-Handbook-Final-1.pdf

Or download specific sections and read it online here: https://climateemergencymanchester.net/student-climate-handbook/

Hope you enjoy reading, and that this helps you in some way!

The Quick Guide to Being a Student

I was a student for 3 years, which was definitely an interesting experience. And, by ‘interesting’, I mean it was enjoyable, eye-opening, stressful, and sometimes just downright crazy. Here is a list of truths and tips that I picked up along the way…

1. Alcohol will become your way of life. It doesn’t matter whether you like alcohol or dislike alcohol. You just won’t really be able to avoid it, no matter how hard you try (or don’t try). Drinking lots of water in-between those alcoholic beverages helps though (and might just stave off the hangover). 

2. The bulk of your meals will consist of takeaway pizza and oven chips. Well, that is unless you actually enjoy cooking, and have enough time/energy to do so. And if that’s you then, hey, great! Otherwise, you just gotta accept that your diet is not going to be the healthiest for a few years. Easy ways to make sure you’re still getting your 5-a-day is to drink fruit juice (simple), swap biscuits or crisps for healthy snacks (such as dried fruit), and boil some frozen veg to have with those oven chips! It only takes 5 minutes, and your body will thank you. ;)

3. Work should be your priority (but it probably won’t be). Let’s be honest, you’ll have a lot going on, especially in your first year when you’re trying to juggle a brand new social life. My tip? Create a study-group with your friends! This is the best way to combine socialising with work- and it makes studying much more fun!  

4. Living with other students can be pretty stressful at times. You all have your own standards of hygiene and ways of doing things, and this can (more often than not) lead to anger and irritation between housemates. But there are ways you can tackle this. Making a cleaning rota is usually a good idea, since it splits up the work and makes everything fair. Give it a go!

Psych notes on the 5 Stages of Grief! I'm a visual learner so re-making charts and graphs like this really cements it into my memory... the very act of writing it and drawing it out means I'm not only repeating it outloud, but it's going into my memory for vision recall during tests... It's easier to recall pictures in my notes (like this ribbon) then a text book page). Same for doodles... adding a unique doodle to a note page not only adds flair for photographic purposes... it makes it memorable to me for recall during tests. I often doodle really bizarre portraits of people I need to remember and can recall the portraits I made a d then the whole page of notes!
