Guided Revision – GCSE Chemistry Instructions:

 Use the timetable to complete your guided revision on a weekly basis.

 You are expected to read the pages, answer the summary questions on that page
and self-assess these using the mark scheme at the back of the book.
 Yellow indicates when the school holidays are – you are expected to work during
your holidays.
 You need to sign when you have completed your revision.
