Useful Web Sites
www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/maths/
Well known revision and support site. Comes well recommended.
Be careful it can be rather superficial in its treatment of some topics.
www.mathsrevision.net/
Mainly text based, mainly simple examples. If that is how you like it, go for it.
www.gcse.com/maths/
Text based, showing methods in a fairly light hearted way. Uses chatty maths (good explanations) Very like the methods which you will have been taught to use.
You would have to decide what to write down but the answers and help are well written.

Same author as maths revision site.
Shows good presentation of solutions. Therefore a "good thing"!
