Last week we ran a lively Twitter Q&A with Mark Roberts (@mr_englishteach ), author of the new “You can’t revise for GCSE English! Yes you can, and Mark Roberts shows you how”.

It was a really busy half an hour, with loads of questions and even more insightful help and sage advice from Mark.

In the book, Mark talks students through the most effective revision strategies for English Language: how to take notes, the most important quotes, how to plan essays, how to revise creative writing and much more.
There are loads of formulaic revision guides on the market telling you WHAT to revise. But this book is different. Using language and ideas that are accessible but levels of challenge to aim for the top grades, it focuses more on the HOW of English revision and practice.

Discover how to banish ineffective revision and use study skills that will help you to do brilliantly in your exams. You’ll come to understand what really successful students do to help them towards top grades in GCSE English

And we have some copies to give away! Even better, Collins are offering one lucky winner not just a copy of ‘You can’t revise for GCSE English!’, but also an achingly cool Fjällräven Kånken backpack, a total design classic worth £85! Five runner’s up will all win a copy of the book.
