I wrote this at the weekend and totally forgot to post this yesterday sorry
Tips&Tricks Thursday: How to create a good revision schedule 

OK I'm not going to lie I'm not the best a time keeping or remembering to do revision, but I do know some good tips from people who have done there GCSE's
I have mocks coming it and then I actually start my GCSE's May 12 th so...

1) Don't over do it 
You need to space it out do so all sorts of topics not just one that you really like. You also need to spend 20 min to an hour each time, don't do more than an hour in one sitting or my mind wont be able to cope

2) Reward yourself 
If you have something to look forward to at the end of your exams or revision the work towards that. Work for your reward! It can be things like Prom, a holiday in the summer, to food or a party.

3) Set goals 
So say you are revising maths and you struggle with a topic, set yourself a goal of knowing that topic by the end of the day or something. Then once you have learnt it go back a week later and see if you can remember how to do it

4) Put calming music on 
Sometimes I revises listening to classic FM then other times I listen to the music I'm loving at the time. This can calm and relax you.

5) Have a time table 
It doesn't have to be a fully planned time table but you will need to fill in 20mins- 1 hour slots of revision with breaks in between. This will keep you organised and you will know when your revision is and can plan your life around it. Remember little and often, you can't concentrate for to long.

6) Have a revision folder
I find using folders really help me keep organised, keeping organised is the key to success and a revision folder helps me and my friends greatly!

7) Have food and drink with you
Having a glass of water or a soft drink of your choice will keep you hydrated whilst you're doing your revision

8) Get revision books  
Your school might sell them or you might have to get them from a shop like WHsmiths. They can be expensive but they are one of my favourite ways to revises, they really help! Make sure you have the right one for the exam bored you are sitting your exam with.

9) Past papers 
Past papers will help you learn the types of questions you might get in your exam. If you do so many you will begin to see a pattern and that can help you with what you need to revise. But some mark schemes can be very hard to understand.

10) YouTube videos 
YouTube videos or websites like mymaths and my GCSE science really help me when I need someone else to explain it to me. They are really good for visual learns.
