WARNING - Revision Advice
Because of the amount of content in GCSE, If you have not already started to revise you need to begin now (yes even in Year 10!). The more time you spend revising and reviewing what you have learned the better the outcome you will have in August of your GCSEs. LITTLE AND OFTEN IS THE KEY ideally of exam questions (available below)
I recommend you use the check sheets to prioritise what you need revise alongside the revision guide provided by Science and ensure you practice past exam questions! Even if you are in Year 10
If you find anything you are unsure of or you need help; above all you must ask!! - All of the Physics department are here to help!
Specifications - List everything that will be in the exam and what you should of been taught, these are what our schemes of work are written from.

An excellect revision resource for GCSE Physics!
ChatGTP - (or any LLM AI)
ChatGTP - (or any LLM AI)
ChatGTP 4o (current free version) can answer any GCSE question the trick is be specific with your question. Use a prompts like:
Answer the following UK GCSE Physics Questions, in bullet point style, each point should be worth 1 mark. The question is X marks, the question is: XXXXXXX
or
Explain the following UK GCSE physics concept xxxxxxxx, - if it is still not clear tell it and it will simplify its response.
At the moment you need to make an account to access the free version of ChatGTP although this is changing in the coming months.
There are many LLMs/AIs Grok, LLama, Gemini, ChatGTP, Claude, Mistral all work very in a very similar way.
Using AI/LLMs as a revision tool/study help is not cheating, however asking it to write work for you, copying it without refrencing is!
