How do you revise for GCSE Physics?

Im doing my Physics exam next year, and ive made spider diagrams and flash cards for keywords. Also, try putting post-its around your room with useful formulas and keywords.\n\nYou could also make a card game, by matching keywords and meanings, in a (sort of) fun way.

this are some top study tips given by my physics lecturer\n1.study in a quiet place (no music please)be sure u r comfortable with\n2.always do the days work on the same day.never postpone ur work.\n3.maintain seperate notes for homework and classroom teaching.\n4.take short breaks every hour drink a glass of water and inhale some fresh air.\n5.make sure that ur posture while studying is straight.dont  liedown.choose a well ventilated room.\n6.maintain a timetable.\n*all the best*

Then you should start studying.\nLearn a little at a time and always review regularly so you can remember it. Too much info at one time and you brain immediately forgets.\n\nAnd when studying for maths - don't just learn the theories and the formulas. Learn to apply them. Do lots of practice equations/questions. Eventually you'll know what to do immediately after seeing a new question. You won't even hesitate, so you'll save time for even harder questions.\n\nTrust me it works!!!

here's what I want to know:  is there anything you enjoy about physics?\n\nI know that's an odd question, but here's why I'm asking:  if you approach your studies as an opportunity to learn something new, it'll become less of a chore and a memorization thing. Concentrate on learning concepts rather than facts and formulas. \n\nIn high school you're taught to regurgitate information. In college it's usually (hopefully) different. Most professors want to broaden your mind, and that's not going to happen if you're just spitting out facts and figures. \n\nThe best way to stop worrying is to enjoy the process. Really.\n\nI'd recommend going to the prof and asking him what you're doing wrong--tell him you really want to succeed in his class.  (you may be surprised by his response, hopefully in a positive way)

The trouble that most people have with understanding physics is (1) mastering the mathematics needed to set up and solve the problem (2) getting an intuition for the behavior of the systems that you are trying to learn.\n\nSo one way to improve is to make sure you have mastered algebra and calculus. This way you can focus your learning on physics, rather than on math. The second point about developing an intuition has to do with the fact that most of us already have some understanding of rudimentary physics just from our everyday experience in the world. This way when you are trying to solve a new physics problem, you can ask relevant key questions that can guide you toward the right direction.

dont worry about physics. review grammar instead. it's more important

Here ya go: great 'create your own' mock papers\n\nhttp://www.edexcel.org.uk/quals/gce/biology/adv/9040/ri/news/bet.htm\n\nand here's the whole list of past papers, etc. Have a look at examiners' reports as well, they can sometimes be very enlightening!\n\nhttp://www.edexcel.org.uk/quals/gce/biology/adv/9040/\n\nBest of luck!

The best place to look is probably the official exam board website. I don't know which board you're with, so here are some links to the GCSE past paper section of a few of the most common ones:\n\nAQA:  http://www.aqa.org.uk/admin/qp-ms_gcse.html\nOCR:  http://www.ocr.org.uk/publications/publications_pastpapers.html#s0\nEdexcel:  Seem to have started charging for their past papers, which is a bit unfair, but there are some specimen papers available here if you click on the subject:  http://www.edexcel.org.uk/quals/gcse/ \n\nAll of these are free downloads of PDF documents, and the mark schemes are available here too. Alternatively, you could try asking your teachers - schools will have past papers dating back much further than this, and you may well be able to borrow papers to photocopy or something. Good luck!

You can make notes.You can try asking your teachers about the questions which you are unable to understand.Also you can discuss the lesson with your friends.It helps you somewhat.

try and make out a "revision timetable." To do this just set some time aside each or every other day to look over a subject that you are struggling with or would like to improve in. Always ask your teacher for help. Also you could purchase revision books from the likes of NPO, Easons etc which will have all the notes that you require for any subject (eg. maths, french, engliash, chemistry) All in all just try your best and you should be fine!

I used this site when I was studying, its very helpful\n\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/maths/

it depends on what kind of learner you are as to what method of revision will be helpful - do you learn by doing things, hearing things, seeing things etc. ?\nyou need to find out, and then for example if you learn via hearing, record some tapes of you saying facts and listen to them again and again...\n\ni find it helpful to write down key points on cue cards\nthe mental process involved in finding the key points from a textbook etc and writing them down will help you to know them, \nthen you can re-read these cards over and over. \n\nBut ther are lots of tests on google to find out what kind of learner you are...good luck!

How far back are you trying to go?\n\nIf the school do not have records of exam results, try contacting the examining body - in my day (1960!) our GCE papers were set by the University of London.

sounds stupid but make loads of revision cards make them look groovy and just put key points on each card have a differnt colour for each subject ... never revise more than two hours every night and have a few time outs during your revision.  grab a snack or flick through a magazine!! good luck with your GCSEs!!!!

What I always did (and I admit it has been awhile) is to repeatedly write down key concepts, in particular the equations. At least for me the act of acting scribbling it out over and over on a piece of scrap paper helped memorization - at least in the short term.\n\nThe best way to remember a science concept, though, is to actually understand. Not always easy if the Quantum Field Theory exam is in 11 hours...\n\nOh, one thing to _avoid_ (in my opinon) is to simply go through the book and notes when you're tired. Your mind will drift, you'll be distracted, and the whole thing can be a waste of time.\n\nThat's why I always used the write-it-down method, it keeps the mind focused.
