Yep DS going into year 11 in September. Has anyone seen a list of useful revision guides? He'd probably prefer online ones opposed to books

For those who can bear it, the provisional exam schedule for 2024 is available. The link is to AQA, but there is co-ordination between the boards on this. The good news (in my view anyway) is that they’ve retained the greater spacing between exams which has been a post-Covid adaptation. Others may take a different view as it means written exams will typically be spread across 5 weeks or so (split by the half-term break), but in our household a bit of breathing space between papers will be very welcome!

Yes DS starting year 11 in September too, also lots of homework set over the summer! Doesn't seem to have any useful coherent notes in his yr 10 books, would you be encouraging them to start making some revision notes, I have no idea how he's going to revise without any notes..??

Our prom was before the last exam so don’t assume. There is a link up thread to the exam schedule which is useful - I’m just about to put the dates in my diary.
It would be useful to know if they have to learn the physics equations this year - but they’ll likely leave it last minute to announce again!
