Making a revision timetable that actually works
Just like an architect, you wouldn’t begin a project without a blueprint. You can’t just open a book randomly one day, begin reading and build a strong basis
for your exams. A solid revision schedule not only guarantees you cover everything you need to in time for the exam, but it also breaks everything down into
more manageable chunks – much less scary! Once you start getting everything out on paper or screen, you'll have a proper idea of the task ahead. The ideal
revision timetable will be prepared enough in advance that you have a bit of balance and don’t burn yourself out. So what are you waiting for? Let's get
started on that winning revision timetable.
1. Compiling your study timetable?
A basic revision timetable is essentially a calendar. But instead of holidays and birthdays, it contains topics and subjects you need to revise on specific days.
Yours doesn't really have to stray far from this very simple model:
1. Divide however long you have until your exams by how many subjects you study.
2. Divide all the topics and areas you need to cover accordingly
If you can access your timetable on the go (using something such as Google Docs or an app – see some app ideas below) you'll have more flexibility over
where you can study.
2. How do I prioritise what I need to revise?
Ask yourself what subjects or particular topics within those subjects do you need to spend more time on?
Perhaps some disappointing mock results have flagged areas you need to pay attention to? Or there are certain subjects where you need to achieve a
certain grade, to progress into what you plan to do next? Make sure you prioritise these in your revision schedule.
Remember not to get complacent and neglect those subjects that you’re already strong at.
3. Regular refreshers
Don’t just cover an area once and move on. If you do this, the material you study first will be a distant memory by the time you come to exams. So fit in time to revisit material among your
study timetable.
4. Past papers
Past papers are always a great idea. Lots of exam boards have copies of past papers and you can test yourself to check that it's sticking. It also gives you practice with the format of the
questions you might be asked.
5. Approach subjects differently
Have a varied approach, as certain study methods will suit some subjects better than others. This might depend on how intense the material is, how it will be assessed or simply how you best
retain everything.
For example, the following methods might work for you:
flashcards for key dates in history
jingles or rhymes for phrases you'll have to speak in a French oral exam
pictures to identify parts of the human body in biology.
The length of your study periods can also be flexible according to what works for you. For example, you might find that two 45-minute sessions of maths, with a break in between, are most
productive. But you can focus on your chemistry revision for longer periods of time.
One way to structure a revision timetable is to allocate revision sessions and breaks within certain times, such as 45 minutes of revision followed by a 15 minute break, which is repeated.
6. Revision timetable apps
These apps can help you structure and plan your revision schedule. They offer study timetable templates to start from, plus a whole host of other nifty features:My Study Life: Track
homework and assignments, and organise your daily and weekly schedule. Everything is stored in the Cloud for easy access on multiple devices. Available on: Play Store, iTunesTimetable: if
you're an Android-head, Timetable is one way to manage school life across your devices. The app even mutes your phone during lessons, in case you forget... Available on: Play Store
