The GCSE Revision Planner

Fifty pages, six PDFs. It does one thing: it lets you know exactly what you have covered, with a date against every tick.

It will not predict your grade and it does not pretend to. What it will do is end the argument you keep having with yourself about whether you have actually revised something or merely read it once.

What it actually is

Six files, not an app. Nothing to log into, nothing to register, no code inside the book. You print it, or you type into it on a tablet, and it is yours.

• The A4 book — fifty pages: setup, twelve weeks, a past-paper log, a fix list, a mock debrief, the final fortnight, exam day, plus eight pages to write on. Week one is worked through for you and week two half worked, so you never face a blank page.
• The A5 book — the same book at half size, reflowed rather than shrunk, so the type is the size it is in the A4. Print two‑up on A4, or read it on a tablet.
• The A3 wall poster — eighty‑four boxes, one a day, and somewhere to copy your exam dates.
• The print‑settings sheet — which paper, which settings, and a bar you can measure to prove the page printed at full size.
• The start‑here page — a file list, a three‑line method, and one instruction you can finish today.
• A dark edition — cream on navy, for reading in the evening. Screen only; printing it costs most of a cartridge.

The boxes are real form fields

The A4, the A5 and the dark edition are fillable. Tap a box on a tablet and type; tap a circle to tick it; your typing is still there when you reopen the file. Checked in Preview, in Acrobat and on a phone before this sentence was allowed on the page.

Prefer a stylus? They are ordinary PDFs, so GoodNotes, Notability or your tablet’s own markup tools write over the page as usual. The two print masters carry no fields, because a form field is no use to a printer.

The method, in three lines

Every topic in the book moves through three states, and the whole design exists to stop you mistaking the first for the last.

L	Learnt it. You have read it, watched it or made notes on it.
P	Practised it. You have answered questions on it with the notes shut.
S	Secure. You got it right again a week later, without warning.

A topic is not done at L. Most revision stops there, which is why it feels like work and does not stick.

Board‑neutral, and undated by design

It carries no exam‑board logos and no topic lists, because a topic list that is subtly wrong is worse than no topic list — you would revise to it. You write your own subjects and topics on page seven, which takes ten minutes and means the book fits whichever specification you are actually sitting.

Undated means no wasted pages. Start it in September, start it in February, start it six weeks out; week one is week one whenever you begin.

Finding your real exam dates

The timetable page in the planner is deliberately blank. Copy your dates from your school’s statement of entry — that is the only document that says which papers you are entered for, at which tier, in which series. Not a group chat, and not a national timetable, which lists papers you may not be sitting.

If you want to cross‑check a date, use the board’s own published timetable:

• AQA — dates and timetables
• Pearson Edexcel — exam timetables
• OCR — key dates and timetables
• WJEC — key dates and timetables

These are the boards’ own pages, not ours, and they change them. If one of these is dead, the statement of entry still is not — ask the exams officer at school.

If you are the parent buying this

The book collects nothing. No app, no account for the student, no login, no code to register, no data from your child. Sessioned does not email under‑16s and runs no messaging community for students.

The receipt and the download link come to you, because you are the one who paid. The planner itself is for the student and needs nothing from us to work.

The most useful thing you can do with it is ask, once a week, what is on the Sunday reset page. Not what grade they expect.

Made by Sessioned

Sessioned is a UK online tutoring service. This planner is original work, written from what tutors here see go wrong in the first month of revision: topics marked done that were only read, a timetable built on hours nobody actually had, and no record of anything a week later.

Try it first, for nothing

There is a free short version: setup, one week, and the Sunday reset. Enough to see whether the method suits you before you pay for anything.

Questions

Is it printed and posted?
No. This is the digital edition: you download six PDFs. There is no printed edition on sale yet, and there will not be one until it has a real print quote behind it.

Will it tell me which grade I am on track for?
No, and be wary of anything that says it will. It tells you what you have covered and when, which is the part you can actually act on.

Which exam board is it for?
Any of them. It has no topic lists and no board logos; you write your own subjects in.

Can I print it more than once?
Yes. It is your copy, for your household. Your download page stays available and the links re‑issue themselves whenever you go back to it.

What if I lose the files?
Go to your downloads and they are there. Nothing expires permanently — individual links last seven days and a fresh one is generated every time you open the page.

Do I need a Sessioned account?
Not to buy. We create one against the email you pay with, and the delivery email contains a one‑step link to set a password. That account is what makes the re‑download work.

Corrections

This is the first edition, version 1.0. No corrections have been issued yet — when there are any, they will be listed here with the version each was fixed in, and nothing will be quietly removed from the list.

Found something wrong — a broken link, a wrong page reference, a page that does not print right? Email hello@sessioned.co.uk and say which page. If it is a real error the file is corrected and replaced in place, so the next time you open your downloads you get the fixed version at no cost. You do not need to buy anything again.
