How to Revise

There are a few things that you can do to make your

revision for the Christmas Exams as effective as possible.

Revision Environment:

You should try to make sure you have good surroundings

when you are trying to revise.

Find a quiet place so you don’t get distracted

Make sure you are sitting comfortably

Keep background noise a minimum e.g. TV, radio.

Make sure the area is well lit so you don’t strain your eyes.

Revision plan:

It is suggested that making a revision plan helps some people to revise more

effectively. Included in this pack you will find a suggested revision timetable. You can

download more copies off the school website.

Make a list of all your exam subjects and try to assign an amount of time needed

for each subject. For example if there is an area that you find difficult, then

maybe you should give more time to this subject.

Revise often and try to do a bit everyday.

Break your revision time down – aim to study each subject for no more than 15-

20 minutes at a time.

Include time off and breaks in your revision plan. Aim to take a 5 minute break

after every session.

Remember to include variety in your plan – not only in the subjects you revise

but also the techniques you use.

Revision techniques:

Here are a few ideas as to how you can revise most

effectively.

Create memory aids such as diagrams or mnemonics (e.g.

for the order of colours in the rainbow:

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet

- Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain).

Write key facts on pieces of cards and display them

around your house or even on the way to school.

Study with someone at home or with a friend and test each other’s knowledge

Remember to reward yourself. Use rewards as incentive to do the revision.

On the day before the exam:

Use your revision tools (e.g. diagrams, mnemonics etc) to check facts

Keep calm – don’t try to learn new topics so close to an exam.

Don’t stay up all night.

Please remember that revision isn’t a competition. It’s not about who stayed up all

night and revised the longest. It is about finding the right revision methods that suit

your way of learning. Try out some of the techniques mentioned and you will find that

revision isn’t as scary as you first thought. Getting started is often the hardest bit.

Don’t simply read over topics – DO QUESTIONS (you’ll remember more that way!)

Try as many of the questions listed above as you can.

Look up each topic in your hardback notebook. That’s what it is for!!

Re-do some of your homework questions on the topic and check your answer from the correction in

class.

Try out the calculations using your calculator. Check that you understand which buttons to press and

look up the instruction book (or ask someone) if you’re not sure.

Try to cover a couple of topics at a time – some of them are quite short.

If your teacher has time in class ask him/her about anything that you’re not sure about.

Attend any of the revision classes that might be on.

Do past paper questions.

During the exam

Remember to bring your calculator, pen, pencil and ruler.

Don’t rush – you will enough time. Don’t go too slowly either.

Attempt every question and every part of every question. LEAVE NO BLANKS!

Show all steps. Marks go for the working out as well as the answer – even completely correct

answers might not get full marks without the working!
