What should I actually do?

Year 11 Revision: A Term-by-Term Plan

Year 11 revision works best as a series of stages rather than one long undifferentiated push: close content gaps in the autumn term, use mock results in the winter to target weak topics, move to timed past-paper practice from spring onwards, and treat the Easter fortnight as the highest-leverage two weeks of the whole year. A fixed timetable matters less than actually working through weak topics in that order.

How this list was made

This plan is built around the stages most schools already structure the year into - autumn content, mocks, spring practice, Easter and the final weeks - with free resources named at each stage rather than listed separately. Last checked 30 August 2026.

The full comparison

Revision Library

Best for free printable practice with mark schemes

Autumn is for closing content gaps one subject at a time, not revising everything at once. The topic guides work through a definition and worked example before the practice questions, which suits a topic that has not been fully understood yet rather than one that just needs repetition.

After mocks, use the results to target specific topics rather than starting again from the beginning. The topic frequency tool shows which topics are worth the most revision time, and the Pack Builder can stitch just the weak topics into one pack.

From spring onwards, move to timed practice: the past-paper tool and predicted papers both work under exam conditions rather than as untimed worksheets. Over Easter, alternate topic practice with full timed papers; the GCSE Maths 2027 revision list lays out exactly what is left to cover by that point in the year.

In the final six weeks, printable practice from the library or a free practice book for a whole tier gives structure without needing to plan each session from scratch, and the daily practice and flashcards tools suit the shorter sessions study leave allows for.

Corbettmaths

Best for free daily worksheet practice

Corbettmaths is a free maths site built around short video lessons, the well-known '5-a-day' daily practice questions, and topic worksheets and exam-style questions for Primary, GCSE, A Level and Further Maths. The core site needs no account; a separate shop sells physical revision cards and books.

Corbettmaths' '5-a-day' format suits the autumn and spring terms well, giving a short, repeatable practice habit alongside a video lesson for any topic that needs re-teaching.

Seneca Learning

Best for free AI-marked practice questions

Seneca Learning is a free-to-use revision platform for GCSE and A Level, with interactive courses, an AI-marked question bank and an AI study companion; a paid Premium upgrade adds further features.

Across the autumn and spring terms, Seneca can give Year 11 students a free, gamified practice routine with AI-marked questions across many exam specifications. Signing up appears to be needed to start a course, and no Premium price could be confirmed.

How to choose

Do not revise every subject equally every week. Rotate through subjects on a cycle rather than trying to cover everything daily, and give more time to whichever mock result was weakest.

After mocks, resist the urge to restart revision from the beginning. A focused list of the topics that lost the most marks is more useful than reworking a whole subject.

Treat Easter as the highest-leverage two weeks of the year: the exams are close enough that the material is fresh, but there is still time to act on what a timed practice paper reveals.

In the final six weeks, shorter and more frequent sessions beat long, infrequent ones - Revision Library's daily practice and flashcards are built for exactly that kind of session.

Frequently asked questions

When should I start revising?+

Meaningful revision can start as early as the autumn term of Year 11, closing content gaps one subject at a time rather than waiting until after mocks. See the GCSE Maths 2027 revision list for what should be covered by each stage of the year.

How many hours a day?+

There is no single right number, and more hours is not always better once a session stops being focused. Shorter, more frequent sessions - especially in the final six weeks - tend to beat long, infrequent ones.

What do I do after mocks?+

Use the results to build a list of the weakest topics rather than restarting revision from scratch. The topic frequency tool and Pack Builder both help target exactly those topics.

Is a revision timetable worth it?+

A rough stage-by-stage plan, like the one above, matters more than a rigid hour-by-hour timetable. What matters most is working through weak topics in the right order at each stage.
