IGCSE English Revision Timetable: Weekly Plan
An IGCSE English revision timetable works when it matches your syllabus code — not a generic “English” block copied from a science plan. Use this weekly template for Cambridge 0500, 0475, 0510, or Edexcel 4EA1, then adjust hours to your exam dates.
Main hub: IGCSE English revision · one month plan · checklist.
Sample week (First Language 0500)
| Day | Session (45–60 min) | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Mon | Reading | Unseen passage + writer’s effect phrases |
| Tue | Writing | One directed format (letter or speech) |
| Wed | Reading | Past Paper 1 section — timed |
| Thu | Writing | Composition plan + one paragraph |
| Fri | Review | Mark scheme compare on Wed’s work |
| Sat | Summary | Point selection under word limit |
| Sun | Light | Vocabulary list or rest |
If you also sit Literature, add a separate 45-minute block on two other days — Literature timetable.
Rules that keep timetables realistic
- Alternate skills — reading one day, writing the next; avoid only re-reading notes.
- One timed task per week minimum — Past Paper Exam Timer.
- Cap passive time — comment banks are useful only if you apply them in answers.
- Check code — 0500 guide vs 0510 ESL.
Frequently asked questions
How many hours a week for IGCSE English revision?
Many students need 4–6 focused hours for Language alone; add 2–4 if Literature is a second subject. Quality beats marathon passive reading.
Should Language and Literature share one timetable?
Use separate columns — skills and papers differ. One combined “English” slot often neglects Literature set texts.
When to start the timetable?
Start 8–12 weeks before the series; tighten with last-minute revision only for polish, not first practice.
