TIE HoyAn IGCSE revision plan: how to prioritise several subjects
Turn personal exam dates, specific gaps and available time into checkable revision tasks; correct and adjust after each round.
Which subject should I revise first?
Put your own exam dates, weak tasks and available time together.
Use correct-board questions to identify gaps, then prioritise an approaching exam or missing foundations.
Pearson’s preparation guide recommends a realistic timetable-based plan with breaks; confirm individual dates with school.
How does the plan become real work?
Give each session a checkable task rather than only a subject name.
For example: answer a specification-matched question set, check the mark scheme and correct an error. Find resources through Pearson exam preparation.
Take knowledge gaps or timetable/workload conflicts to a teacher; update the plan after checking your work.
What to do
Schedule tasks you can finish, then adjust using your results.
Bring
- Confirmed personal exam timetable
- Subject codes/relevant specification
- Matching questions and mark schemes
- Weak tasks and actual available time
Steps
- List subjects, series and confirmed dates; check board, codes and the relevant specification.
- Use matching practice questions or teacher feedback to record specific weak areas.
- Schedule concrete tasks in real available time; prioritise nearby exams/foundational gaps and include breaks.
- Check accessible mark schemes and correct errors; mark concepts needing teacher explanation.
- Review actual completed work and adjust; ask school early about date or workload clashes.
Basis
Pearson links realistic timetable-based planning and breaks to papers and mark schemes. Personal dates and gaps guide tasks; missing concepts go to a teacher.
More questions
Must every subject get equal time?
Allocate by dates, specific gaps and available time. Review after a round of work rather than dividing only by subject count.
