How to make a GCSE revision timetable — UK term plan

Pretty colour grids fail. Subject slots that match energy and exams win.

Eight moves. One timetable. Stick it on the wall.

  1. List exam dates. From the school sheet. Earliest first.
  2. Rank weak topics. Not whole subjects — topics. Algebra, not Maths as a blob.
  3. School-night slots. 45 minutes after tea. Not three hours of fiction.
  4. Weekend deep work. One long block Saturday morning. Protect it.
  5. Active recall only. Closed book. Past paper questions. Highlighting is theatre.
  6. Phone in another room. Not on silent — gone.
  7. Weekly review Sunday. What slipped? Move it. Do not rewrite the whole grid.
  8. Life admin clear. Pair this with the Revision Timetable so subjects get booked hours.
