Revision Tips

Revise in 30/40 min sessions, allowing a 10 min break to give your brain a rest. Be sure to not keep adding time onto the ‘break’ periods
Reduce your lesson notes to key points that are easier to revise
Make your revision timetable early!! Organisation is a huge part of successful revision
Practice, practice, practice exam questions. You need to be able to link the theory you have learnt to what the question is asking. Keep on top of deadlines - know when work is due in and schedule time to complete it.
Ensure you are aware of what is expected for each piece work and how marks are awarded.
Allow time to go over work before a deadline - get draft work to your teacher to comment and make suggestions in how to improve.
Write all coursework deadlines and modular exams on a wall-planner;
Create a work space where you will be comfortable and not be interrupted.
