How to Revise

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

revision for the Summer 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.

Page 3: St Columb's College · Revision (Summer 2017) Subject English Year Group 9 Examination length 1 Hour 15 Minutes Areas/topics to be covered for revision Comprehension: Understanding

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.

Tips for your Summer Exam:

Use your notebook – this contains notes on everything.

Go through the exercises from the Year 8 ibook to revise each topic.

Once you’ve revised a topic using notes, try some questions that you’ve already done in your exercise book – then you can check the answer is right!

Revision material will be given out in class, the week before exams – this will be very useful so make sure you can attempt all the questions

It is very important that you show working out in a question where there is more than 1 mark available. You may lose marks if you do not show your working.

Know what an element is and how to recognise it by its symbol. Know that there are three states of matter, solids, liquids

and gases: their arrangement, shape and volume. Their properties. Know the changes of state.

Know the difference between a pure substance and a mixture. Know the rules for mixtures.

Know why chemists use chemical equations.

Pressure and moments

Know that turning effect of a force is another name for the moment of a force.

Know that the turning effect of a lever depends on the force and its distance from the pivot

Know how to use the equation: Moment = force x perpendicular distance from the pivot . Know the Principle of Moments

(ACW = CW)and use it to calculate the size of a force or its distance from the pivot, when an object is balanced under the

turning effects of no more than two forces, one of which could be the object’s weight. Know that a lever is a simple

machine which uses a pivot.

Know how the effect of a force depends on the area to which it is applied. Know the relationship: pressure = force ÷ area

and use it in calculations. Know that it is acceptable to use units of Ncm-2, though Nm-2 and pascals may be used. Know

the differences in pressure between snowshoes and high heels in the snow. Know the difference between the terms ‘force’

and ‘pressure’.

Know that gases and liquids have internal pressure which depends on the weight of fluid above the point being considered.

Know that gases can be put under external pressure, and know some uses of this. Know why liquids are incompressible

and gases are compressible.

Know what causes pressure in air. Know how air pressure changes.

Atoms, Elements and Compounds Know what an element is.

Know that there are three states of matter, solids, liquids and gases.
