THE WHOLE SYSTEM TO ACE YOUR EXAMS IN ONE POST!
Got a message saying Revision OS is amazing but there's so much it's hard to know where to start. Love that β and completely get it! So here's the whole system in one post. Save this. Come back to it. The core principle: volume The more exam questions you do, the higher your mark. Not notes. Not videos. Not re-reading. Questions. Everything else in this system exists to help you do as much volume as possible, as effectively as possible. Step 1 β Write your goals Every subject. The grade you want. Your exam dates. Where you are right now out of 10. That's your destination. Without it the system has nowhere to point. Step 2 β Set up ReviNotion Duplicate the template from Templates & Resources β GCSE or A-Level version. It has your paper tracker, topic tracker, mistakes log and daily checklist already built. Takes 10 minutes to set up. Use it every single session. Step 3 β Build your paper plan 2-3 months out. (or whenever you see this!) List every past paper available for every subject across every exam board. Assign specific papers to specific days. Your goal: finish every paper available before exam day. This is your macro plan. Everything else builds around it. Step 4 β Run the loop after every paper This is the engine. Do it every single time: Paper timed, no notes β mark it immediately β write every weak topic on the front cover in red β go to PMT (physicsandmathstutor.com) and drill questions on those specific topics only β log every mistake with exactly what the mark scheme wanted β make a flashcard from every single error The paper is just the diagnostic. The feedback is where the learning actually happens. Most students skip steps 3-6. That's why scores don't move. Step 5 β Flashcards every morning 15-20 minutes before anything else. Use RemNote or Anki β both free. The algorithm decides when you review each card so you don't have to. What goes on a flashcard: - Formulas and definitions - Key processes and sequences - Dates, facts, vocab, key quotes - Every single past paper mistake
