My Mock GCSE's are coming up on November 24th, and I was wondering when I should start revising, I was thinking of October 10th, does it sound like a solid date for it?
I also need some revision tips, Im going to be looking over BiteSize, Doing past papers & marking them to learn, Do mindmaps for each topic for subjects like Religon and ICT.
Any help would be appreachiated, thanks!

Mindmaps and all that only work if you're a certain 'type' of learner. There are tests you can do which define whether your a Visual, Audio or Kinasthetic learner or summet. Then you an base your revision methods on w/e technique suits you.
10th Sounds ok, just look over work if you didn't quite get it in class tho, then you don't have to spend time trying to understand it when it comes to revision time.

The earlier you revise the better. I kept putting revision off for my AS levels and it really ate away at me inside. When I revised I just kept reading through the work every night up until the exam. On the night before the exam, I almost knew all the stuff word by word without reading it. Try it. :P

I would start a lot nearer the time since I would forget most of what I revise... Good luck in them Paul!

Leave your heavy work for the summer...

But if you feel like you must then just read through your books and memorise it the best way you can.

same here for most of it. I kept making promises to revise and I never did. The only thing I've ever revised for is GCSE French speaking and that's because you have to memorise a 6-8 minute conversation and I always go 'erm... arrr... erm...' if I don't remember things, which would have ruined my grade.

It depends what type of learner you are as to how to revise. Visual, listening or hands-on approach. I just kept repeating my french conversation until it was firmly placed into my head :D

I remember my SQA/SCQF prelims aha.
Don't stress yourself out over them they're nothing to worry about, leave all the hard work untill your proper gcse in the Summer..

Start revising 2 weeks before study leave.. you'll forget pretty much everything, just read books and do past papers i don't see why you've gotta revise so much, i didn't revise loads just done a few past papers and read my notes and i got credit 1/2 in all my subjects (which is an A in England :S)
