GCSE Revision links

These links give you an alternative way of revising. You should use a textbook or some other printed guide which you can carry around for most revision, but for stuff you don't understand at first, or when you are closer to a screen than the book, these sites give an alternative way of explaining basic electronics and systems.

PDF files of revision sheets for Year 11 pupils. They are two sheets of A4 card which cut up into matchbox sized cards with basic info on. Also a PDF file of the box net to carry them in.

Doctronics.co.uk Has an online textbook here. Only some working but very in-depth

Dean Close school This is a staggering collection of circuits and PDF based revision notes. Far more in depth than my site! Excellent place to pick up single sheet revision guides on a wide range of topics.

WebEE.com Seems to be a company which is also an educational organisation. Quite advanced information in places but good fi you really want to know WHY something works.

BBC BiteSize Either the classic way to waste time while still appearing to be doing something, or a good way of slipping in a few minutes learning. Like a bed, its how you use it that makes it worthwhile..

Halbar Incredibly btoad ranging site with a good set of links to other electronics sites.

Joke site about engineers and electronic engineers None of these jokes were rude when I checked, but the pages might change!

Revision is like juggling. If you don't practise, you wont be able to do it.
If Electronics was meant to be easy at GCSE, Fisher Price would make the components, Mattel would manufacture the cases and Barbie would feature in the textbook.....
