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!!!!

You should try the following approach to do great in school. Lets say that you are an average student getting about 75% in school tests.\n\nYou can't achieve grades by just saying that u want to.The work needs commitment to yourself and your goals.Have a clear cut goal,say, you need to have 95% as your final goal.But work in a step by step manner. Let's put it bluntly, you CAN'T have 95% overnight or even in 1 month. But yes, you could set a primary goal of lets say 80%. Achieve it.Then increase the goal to 87%, achieve it then 92% and then 95%.You should follow this approach.I give you a time frame of 1 yr to achieve the goal. If you want something faster this is not meant for you then.It is not a quick fix solution to help you...we  are talking of you being having 75% and going on 95%, it cannot be a sudden jump.Follow these steps\n\n1.Your final exams are lets say 2 months later, and you have a huge deal of syllabus to cover. DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING TO THE VERY END.Start preparing right away.\n\n2.You could adopt 2 kinds of approaches to work on: do any two subjects each day or have a fixed time span to complete one subject. If, the syllabus that is coming for the exams has already been taught in school, i'd suggest you take the second method, but if it isn't you should rather take in the first method.Both are equally good, it depends on you.\n\n3.Make your schedule flexible. Provide for allowances and unexpected happenings. Give yourself a break after every session of 45 minutes. The break should be of 10 minutes and NOT MORE THAN THAT.\n\n4.Your syllabus should be completed in the following manner:\na)LEARNING:You learn everything that is to be covered. After you learn a chapter, ask someone to listen to what you learnt,immediately.After all,you need to bake the pot you have moulded.It really helps.It should constitute 65% of your shedule days\nb)1st REVISION:Set some days for the revision of material that you have learnt. Join some class that gives test series or ask someone at home/teachers to test you out.This mauy involve written tests,orals.Essentially this revision should be 25% of your study schedule days\nc)2nd REVISION: This is the repition of the above mentioned step but is directly after it\n\n5.For Math you should have lots and lots of practise, I tell you Maths can either make your score or break it. The key heere is practise. If you aren't good at maths, seek help, join tutions. The key here is that you should have done your bokk at least THREE TIMES before the exam.TRY TO DO A FEW SUMS EVERYDAY\n\n6.One basic reason why most students don't do so well because of the lack of initiative and the involvement of the parents . Ask your parents not only to help you but monitor you and keep a check on you always.\n\n7.Do not stick to the computer/TV when you know you should hve been studying.My TV had been packed in my exams too, and i must say it helped.\n\n8.Have someone in your class with whom you can have constant competition. Have that "I have to beat that bloody bastard" kind of spirit. It helps!\n\n9. Be truthful to yourself. If you know that you have completed a chapter only superflously and see that others are playing all around acknowledge this fact because "you want to do extremely well at school in order to achieve greatness as education is the key to real greatness."Isn't it?\n\n10.Do not get dejected if you aren't able to achive the short term goal. Keep the ultimate goal in your mind. Work hard and be serious, no one can stop you from coming to the head of the class\n\n11. Listen to what the teacher says in school, sometimes they give huge hints about the questions to be asked in exams. Keep your eyes and ears open always. \n\n12. Prepare notes(only if you feel they shall be of help)\nThey give they crux of the chapter.\n\n13.Try to please the teacher, don't be a punk and get carried away by the crowd. Teachers get impressed when you ask int

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!

Begin by stating your aim, which pretty much involves rephrasing the question you were given. Then explain how you're going to use the data to achieve your aim.\n\nFor coursework I'd strongly advise asking your teacher if you need help - it counts towards your grade, and they know what gets high marks.

What methods can I use to prepare for tests?\nOrganization is very important when you have a great deal of information to study. I recommend these methods: \n\nReview your old tests. Make corrections if you have not already done so to avoid repeating your mistakes. \nGo over your class notes. If you do not understand something you have written, or if you have "holes" in your notes, ask your teacher for help. \nTry to anticipate the kinds of questions your teacher will ask on the test. Make out some sample questions or even entire tests. \nReview the chapters in your textbook that the test will cover. Pay particular attention to boldface terms, chapter summaries, and questions in the text. Most important of all is the recommendation that you understand there is no easy way to prepare for this kind of major test. After all, the time you spend in preparing should pay off when you do well on the test. \nSet aside time each day to work on your subjects. Even if you are all caught up, spend the time to go over notes or your textbook. \nTell your teacher that you would like to talk about your progress in class, and ask for suggestions on how you can do better. \nGo to the library and check out books that are on the same topic you are studying in class. \nPay attention in class no matter what is going on around you. This will be hard, but if you can concentrate on what your teacher is saying you will learn the facts and skills that you will find later in tests. Keeping up with homework and participating in class are very important. \nAs for tests, here are a few suggestions to help you: \n\nTalk with your teachers about your concerns. They really want you to do well and are more than willing to help! \nWhat type of test is most difficult for you? Do you do better on essays than you do on multiple choice questions? Decide which type of test gives you the most problems. Then you can learn techniques for taking that kind of test. \nAre you studying effectively for your exams? Here are some ideas that will make a difference. \nMake sure you know what material will be covered on the exam. There is nothing worse than studying for hours only to find out you were doing the wrong chapters. Go over your notes. Do not wait until the last minute to study. Try to tie all your information into a big picture in your head. Visualize information. Get a good sleep the night before, and eat a nourishing breakfast. When you first sit down to a test, start answering something, anything, immediately. Once you start, you will be on a roll. Do not get discouraged!\n\n\nOR\n\n\nGo to a nice, clean, neat desk in your room. If you have paper junk and leftover pizza slices on your desk, studying will not be the biggest problem on your mind. \nMake sure that you have all these study supplies: a pencil, a notebook, books to study, and good old-fashioned silence. Unless you're completely positive you work better with music, turn off the stereo. Focusing is hard enough without Beyonce telling you "you make me lose my breath". \nGet out your pencil, notebook, and book to study. Brace yourself. \nOpen the notebook and book you are studying. \nRead the chapter or whatever you have to study in your book. Concentrate. \nWhile you are reading you want to make notes of the little things. Make it short enough so that you can study it. Make short little breaks now and then (think half an hour of studying= 5 minute break) unless you're cramming, and in that case, good luck to you. \nGet a friend, Mom, Dad or someone to test you on what you have just read and studied. A key here would be to make sure that the person has a fair amount of patience. \nDo this every night until the day of the test/quiz. Depending on what you're studying and how much time you have, give yourself assigned time slots. \n\n\n\nTips \nYou need peace and quiet for all the steps above (or at least, they greatly HELP). \nYour attitude greatly helps the outcome of your study

Not everyone can be first.  The most important thing is to do your best.  Be happy with who you are.\n\nTo improve your grades to a degree, take notes in class, listen closely, use  highlighters when studying, make special note of important vocabulary, and ask your teacher for copies of class notes if that is allowed.  If you are already doing these things, don't agonize so much about being first.  Some people can just naturally be first without studying at all.

Pay attention in class!  This is the most important thing you can do.  Ask questions when you don't understand something.  Also, review your notes everyday.  (I mean everyday.)  If you find something you have a question on, make a note of it and ask about it. Study groups may help you.  If so, ask around class and see if anyone is interested in joining you. Getting a 4.0, for most people, takes a lot of dedication.  Good luck.

Well, I would recommend talking to your teacher. He or she may let you re-do assignments or do extra projects for more credit.\n\nAlso, ask them what areas you need to improve on. Then work on those things - get extra help with them, look them up on the internet, do more homework that uses them.\n\nYour teacher really is the place to start. Also, do you have any friends who are doing well in the class? You can ask them to help you too.\n\nAnd MOST IMPORTANTLY, always do your homework, and make sure that you understand all of the problems. Don't skip the problems that are hard, figure them out or ask for help. It will all pay off on your next test! Good luck!

ask your teachers what they think you need to improve on. They work with you everday and probably know your strengths and weaknesses better than anyone of us could determine. But some universally good ideas are, spend more time reviewing what you learned that day in school that night at home, get your homework in on time, try and prepare yourself as best as you can for college prep tests like the SAT and ACT.
