Important Tips:

Allocate sufficient time for each topic based on its complexity and your understanding of it.
Break down each topic into subtopics or chapters to make revision more manageable.
Use a variety of revision resources provided by GoPhysics, including video lessons, lesson questions, flashcards and walkthrough videos then attempt and mark past papers.
Set aside dedicated time for practising exam-style questions and past papers.
Regularly review and revise previously covered topics to maintain a strong foundation of knowledge.
Create summary notes or flashcards for quick revision.
Take short breaks during study sessions to maintain focus and avoid burnout.
Seek help from teachers, classmates, or online forums if you encounter challenging concepts.

Note: Adapt the timetable as needed based on your personal study schedule, preferences, and progress. Remember to prioritise your weaker areas while also dedicating time to reinforce stronger topics. Best of luck with your GCSE Physics revision!
