If you’re in Year 10 and wondering whether you should already be revising for GCSEs, you’re not alone - and you’re not behind.

The good news? Year 10 isn’t about pressure. It’s about understanding things so Year 11 feels calmer and more manageable.

The Do’s (What Actually Helps)

Do focus on understanding, not memorising
If a topic makes sense now, revision later becomes much easier.

Do review little and often
Even 15-20 minutes revisiting a topic after class helps it stick

Do ask questions early
If something doesn’t click, clearing it up now saves stress later.

The Don’ts (What to Avoid)

Don’t revise for hours at a time
Long sessions lead to burnout - not better results.

Don’t compare yourself to others
Everyone learns differently. YOUR pace is the right pace.

Don’t panic about grades yet.
Mocks and early tests are checkpoints, not predictions.

The Bottom Line

Year 10 isn’t too early to start - it’s just too early to stress.

Use this year to build confidence, understand topics properly, and form good study habits. If you do that, Year 11 will feel far less overwhelming.
