The countdown to the 2026 GCSE season has officially begun! With exams scheduled between May 7th and June 23rd, 2026, the pressure is mounting. Many parents and students are asking: Is there less time than before? While exam boards like AQA and Edexcel haven’t officially cut the minutes, the intensity and volume of content have never been higher.
In 2026, efficiency isn't just a bonus: it's your secret weapon for securing a grade 9. At Brashan Chemistry, we’ve watched thousands of brilliant students lose marks not because they didn’t know the answer, but because they ran out of time.
Elevate Your Performance: The Need for Speed
The modern GCSE landscape demands more than just rote memorization. You need to unleash your full potential by mastering the art of the "quick-fire" response. Whether you are tackling complex chemical equations or intricate physics problems, the clock is your fiercest competitor.
Introducing the Brashan Chemistry 'Mark-Per-Minute' Rule
We’ve developed a proprietary strategy that has helped over 15,000 students elevate to new heights: the 'Mark-Per-Minute' Rule.
In any STEM exam, your goal should be to spend exactly one minute per mark.
- 1-Mark Question? 60 seconds to identify and write.
- 6-Mark Analysis? 6 minutes to plan and execute.
By sticking to this rhythm, you build a "time cushion." This allows you to dive back into the tricky multi-step calculations at the end of the paper without panic. It’s about working smarter, not just harder!

Why Efficiency is the New Grade 9 Standard
In 2026, exam papers are designed to test your application skills under stress. By implementing our strategies, our students typically soar, increasing their results by up to three letter grades. We don’t just teach Chemistry; we teach academic mastery.
