Revision Hints
Why should you revise ?
You cannot expect to remember everything you have learnt from all your subjects and you want to do your best, don't you ?
Where should you revise ?
You need to set aside your own space in a quiet room, with a table and a clock. The room should be comfortably warm and brightly lit.
When should you revise ?
Not late at night when you are tired ! Choose times when you feel alert and ready to be able to concentrate. Just after meals should be avoided as you often feel more tired at these times.
How should you revise ?
Organise a revision timetable that is made up of sessions of 2 hours, divided into 4 or 5 shorter sessions with short breaks.
Revisit topics regularly - if you revise a section of work once, you will remember very little of it in the exam. If you revisit the same work to review it after a day and then after a week, then you will remember much more. Reviewing it shouldn't take as long as the first time you revise it.
Be active when you revise, make notes, cue cards, draw diagrams - you will remember much more.
Revise a section using your notes, a revision guide, textbooks, videos (BBC Bitesize are a good resource), or the internet and then have a go at answering an exam question.
If you have to learn and remember facts, try to imagine them as colourful images in your mind or make up phrases that you can associate them with.
The internet now has huge amounts of resources to help you. You may find the links below useful.
