Planning your study

Make sure that you have learned all the necessary words after you complete each topic. You could draw a mind map or create a database on your PC. During the topic 10 new words a day. Ask someone to test you on the words: you need to be able to spell the words properly so remember to write them down when being tested. • Practise the questions on this site. This will build your confidence and enable you to anticipate the type of questions that will occur in the GCSE examination. • Decide if you know the topic thoroughly and if there are any weak areas:note them and look for ways to improve them in the next topic, e.g. use of adjectives, use of the past tense.
