This guidebook will lead you through your revision making use of tried and tested techniques that will improve your exam grade. While working as a teacher and a Head of Science I found that there were no short cuts to achieving the results that students were after; it came down to hard work and self-motivation. At times revision will be challenging for you. If you work smartly and use your time effectively then you may see large improvements in a short space of time. Read through this book, following the tips for effective revision and using the checklists to identify what you are comfortable with and what you need to work on. I have hundreds of videos to support every aspect of the AQA GCSE Physics course in plenty of detail at my GCSE website allowing you to spend time refreshing yourself with this content. Then start working through as many past exam papers as possible. In the last section of this book you will find further tips and a table for you to keep track of the papers you have completed. Please note that this is not an official AQA endorsed book; instead, it's the advice that I have given students that prepared and enabled them to achieve their full potential in their GCSEs. Make sure you check the AQA website for the latest version of the specification and for any updates about the exams you will be sitting this year. Lewis Matheson Physics Online Ltd
