Revision Tips

Revision for exams should be active, and students should actually produce something (notes, mind maps, flash cards, exam questions) as a result of revising.

The main tips are as follows:

1. Start now- don't put off revising until tomorrow!

2. Students to make a Revision Timetable, including:

   1. • 2-3 hours a night minimum

      • 5 to 6 hours at the weekend

      • Sessions of 30-40 minutes, followed by test questions

      • 10 minute breaks

3. Key revision methods

• • 1. Checklists

    2. Chunking

    3. Flashcards

    4. Mind maps

    5. Mnemonics

    6. Practice Questions
