Choose your subjects and hours

Questions people ask

How many hours a week should I revise for GCSEs?

There is no official figure. Enter what you can keep up every week; the plan shows how that time splits across your subjects and papers, and a catch-up slot absorbs a missed session.

When should I start doing past papers?

This plan brings in timed sections about eight weeks before a subject's first paper and full timed papers in the last three weeks, each followed by a session to mark it and fix every lost mark.

What happens if I miss a session?

Tick it as missed. It moves into the next free catch-up slot before that subject's last paper, and if there is none left the plan says so instead of dropping it.

How we work this out

What it does

Choose your boards, hours a week and weakest subjects: get a week-by-week plan to your last June 2027 paper.

GCSE Maths, English Language, English Literature and Science (Combined or separate) on AQA, Pearson Edexcel and OCR, planned from your start date to your last paper in June 2027.

Method

  1. Exam dates come from the boards' final June 2027 timetables, for the specification and tier you choose.
  2. Your weekly hours become 45-minute sessions. With four or more a week, one is kept free for catch-up.
  3. Each week, a subject's share follows the exam time it still has to sit, times 1.5 if you mark it weak, times 2 when its next paper is within 14 days and times 3 within 7. A running total keeps small subjects from being skipped.
  4. Sessions move from learning and retrieval, to exam questions and timed sections, to full timed papers followed by a mark-and-fix session as each subject's first paper gets closer. These rules are our planning choices.
  5. Tick a session as missed and it moves to the next free catch-up slot before that subject's last paper. If none is left, the page lists it.
