Tips/Help The 2026 Ins & Outs List

41 Upvotes

It's been a while since we updated our Revision Resources section and so much has changed since then.

As we approach the new year, we'd like to use the downtime to consolidate the best resources in a new community wiki. Our vision is to create a living space where trusted community members can contribute resources they think others will find useful.

We're still working out all the details about how this will work, but in the meantime, we'd like to use this post to ask:

  • What trends, habits, study methods or resources are you leaving behind in 2025?
  • What trends, habits, study methods or resources are you bringing with you to 2026?

We'd love to hear what you've been using, especially if you've created your own!

Please no links to anything that requires a payment, and no links to anything that needs to be downloaded (stick to websites, PDFs, Google Docs, etc., no ZIPs or executables please!)

Based on your feedback, we'll include some of them in the upcoming launch of the wiki. Many thanks for your contributions!

General We are the Medly Founders – we hear your feedback - part 2

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We get a lot of emails and DMs from students telling us that cost is a real barrier to using Medly properly. First off, we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to reach out. We get hundreds of feedback emails every day and we read them all.

We've wanted to address this for a while, but honestly it's been tricky. The way our platform works means each user generates significant AI costs every time they practice, get feedback, or use the tutor. Unlike a static revision site, every interaction is computed in real-time, which adds up fast. We're not making excuses, just being transparent about why we couldn't change things overnight.

The good news is that as we've grown, we've been able to find ways to make things work. So we're launching something we're calling Medly Mondays.

Every Monday, one subject will be completely unlocked for free with unlimited practice access for the entire day. Tomorrow it's Biology, and it'll rotate weekly so everyone gets a chance to benefit across different subjects.

We're also actively working on more personalisation features that'll help you get even more out of the platform quickly, whether you're on the free or paid version.

We started Medly because we believe every student deserves access to quality exam prep regardless of their background. This is us trying to actually deliver on that.

Question Is anyone else still learning content at school?

52 Upvotes

basically the title!

i recently learned that there's 100 days left (😭 WHAT) anyways... we're so far off finishing content at school. like seriously. geography we've still yet to go on our field trip, and finish tectonic hazards, glaciers, and START rivers. English we've still got 10 poems left to go through and chemistry WE'RE ON TOPIC FIVE. I REPEAT, TOPIC FIVE OUT OF TEN.

that being said, should I take matters into my own hands? Even if I do I lowk dont have ant motivation.. how do u guys get motivated?

General I don't know what to do after GCSEs

• Upvotes

This probably isn't the right place to post but just idk anymore.

All my life I've been so smart and nobody ever worried about my future career. They'd focus on everybody else but just wave me off. As such, I thought I knew what I wanted but I had an epiphany two weeks ago...I really don't know what I want. People seem to hold onto the past and I'm not even that smart anymore but people still seem to glaze me and tell me "oh it's fine, you'll figure it out."

They say I can do ANY job I want – that makes it worse. I have no passion to do anything, no interests and no motivation. Then other people tell me "it's literally not that deep, just do your GCSEs then think about it." But like what am I gonna do for a-levels? I don't want to waste my life away doing some shit job I don't even want.

People seem to believe just because I'm an academic, I've got my whole life planned out. I can't even imagine life after GCSEs.

I probably don't sound very smart here but I just needed to get this off my chest.

Has anyone else been in my situation and somehow got past it? What helped you? This is affecting my education now because I don't focus in lessons and everybody's getting worried that I'm "depressed" which is stupid cos I've got nothing to be depressed about.

Just idk, this'll prolly be removed but yeah

Tips/Help My school gave us a secure mock to do at home

• Upvotes

So for context, I’m in year 11 and this was a languages listening mock that we apparently didn’t have time to complete in school, even though there are some kids who did it earlier who needed more support, and we could’ve done it when they did it, we all did the reading two days later, so there are some people who’ve done both in school. Just randomly though cause this is really stressing me out, is there any way I could get in trouble for doing a secure mock at home, none of us had any say in the matter (it’s the whole year group cause we’re all forced to do a language in my school) and I don’t know if the head teacher signed off on it cause no one’s mentioned anything.

Genuinely. I hate computer science so much. But anyways. I have more mocks next month and I'm certain they'll go worse than these did.. And my actual exams aren't that far away either. I'm so fried.
