Can anyone give me some revision tips? I'm expected to get A's and B's in my GCSE's but when I revise, nothing ever sticks in my head!

Much appreciated.

Are you doing the maths/business exam tomorrow?

yuh I don't want to :/

simplifying algebra
stem &leaf diagram
Alternate/supplementary/corresponding angles
distance time graph
translation/reflection/rotation/enlargement
ratio
frequency polygons/histograms
areas/perimeters of shapes
basic multiplication/division
estimation
fraction=multiplying/dividing/subracting/adding
interior/exterior angles of shapes
questionnaires
y=mx+c/quadratic/cubic graphs
HCF/LCM
factorising/expanding quadratics
similar shapes
expressions that represent volume/area/length
simultaneous equations
cumulative frequency
indices
probability

might come up, go on mymaths.co.uk (if your school has it) and revise it, I got a login for it.

Rewrite your notes with color and pictures.

I heard that works but it never sticks in my head!

1. study in conditions that are similar to your test taking conditions.
this will help recall what you've studied a bit easier during the exam
2. teach what you've studied to someone
you retain 80% of what you successfully taught to someone
3. take power naps
the brain sorts and groups information in your sleep
4. repetition: do more problems, write lines if you need to
it helps strengthens the synapses between neurons increasing the speed and accuracy of recall

good luck

Well good luck, GCSE are over nowlol
