GCSE revision

Pick your subject, then your exam board — every topic is written against your board's exact specification wording, because topic order, spec references and question style genuinely differ.

GCSEs are the qualifications most students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland sit at 16, graded 9 to 1. Most subjects are assessed entirely by final written exams, set by one of the exam boards — AQA, Edexcel or OCR — and the board decides the exact specification your school follows.
That is why the notes here are written separately per board: a topic that is two marks of recall on one specification can be a six-mark method question on another. Pick your subject below, then check your exam timetable for your board.

Common questions

How do I find out my exam board?
It's printed on your exam timetable and on every past paper your school gives you — or ask your teacher. Getting the board right matters: the specifications genuinely differ.
Foundation or Higher?
Tiered subjects (Maths, the Sciences) enter you for one tier. Foundation awards grades 1–5; Higher awards 4–9. Your school decides the entry, usually by mock results.
