Revision Matters - Tips and hints for GCSE Revision

Useful Apps And Revision Websites For Year 11

1. Keep

  • All about organisation: from reminders to checklists –  this app has it covered.
  • Image to Text is a great feature that allows you to grab text from photos. Students can take photos of their notes and off they go!

2. Quizlet

  • A study and flashcard app, Quizlet let’s you create quizzes with your own information.
  • There are also 400million quizzes already available across a wide range or areas.

3. Padlet  

  • The easiest and quickest way to collaborate. Students can create a shared space where everyone can share ideas, links, images and tips.
  • The link can be shared with everyone in a class, allowing everyone to add in their information, save as a pdf and send to everyone!

4.  Popplet lite

  • A beautifully simple way to create mind-maps.
  • In this free version you are only allowed to create one popplet, so when you’re finished one, why not save a screenshot and start on a new topic!

5.  Spark Post

  • Make revision less boring by illustrating important quotes.
  • The final image would fit nicely in the centre of a popplet (app 4).

6.  Clips  

  • On Clips you can create short clips with live annotations!
  • I recommend changing the language of your device; use the videos to test your pronunciation for MFL.

7. Classic Explain Everything

  • The only paid app on this list. EE is my go to for any subject.
  • Import a photo, video or popplet, then add your voice explaining what you want to remember: blurt out all the vocabulary, processes and dates you need!

8. TextingStory   

  • A fun little app where you can create a video of a ‘text conversation’.
  • Create common answers to questions in a fun and visual way!
  • Try importing your video to Explain Everything and practice your accent!

9.  Gojimo

  • Already the UK’s most used revision app! It has over 40,000 practice questions ready to go and free!
  • Focus on the specific areas you need to work, with instant feedback.

10.  Paper by FiftyThree 

  • Visually representing your information can save thousands of words.
  • This app along with the others here has made my scrawl look beautiful!
  • Appsmash this with SparkPost and Explain Everything to produce a video explaining processes and forming answers that words cannot suffice.
