GCSE Science Paper 1 Revision Checklist
Paper 1 revision checklist booklet for Year 11 mock exams, covering all topics for Biology (B1-B4), Chemistry (C1-C5), and Physics (P1-P4).
I put this together to give students a clear idea of exactly what they need to know. It’s set up to work for the whole cohort, with clear labels for Combined or Triple science, as well as Foundation or Higher tier content. Students just skip the parts that don’t apply to their specific exam.
Inside the booklet:
RAG checklists: Every single spec point has a red, amber, or green tracker so students can prioritise their independent study.
Maths skills checklists: There is a dedicated maths skills checklist for each science so they know exactly which equations, unit conversions, and calculations they need to practise.
Required Practicals: All RPs are explicitly flagged as a reminder to learn the methods, variables, and risks.
Key words and common mistakes: Each section has ‘Watch Out’ boxes to tackle common misconceptions (like reminding them that antibiotics don’t kill viruses) alongside a list of essential vocabulary.
How to revise: The front pages include practical advice on active revision (like self-quizzing and flashcards) rather than just re-reading notes, which we all know they do.
Exam technique: Quick tips on pacing (1 minute per mark), tackling 6-markers, and picking up marks for showing working.
Useful links: A handy list of free resources they can use at home, including Bitesize, Freesciencelessons, Cognito, and Physics & Maths Tutor.
It works really well printed as a little A5 booklet to hand out in class for homework or form time revision in the run-up to the mocks. Put in your own dates!
