BEST WAYS TO REVISE
So what are the best ways to revise? Strategies that have been proven to improve memory and exam grades include:
Using The Testing Effect – doing quizzes, tests and past-papers
Spacing – one hour a day for eight days is far more effective than doing eight hours in one day
Mixing It Up – don’t have a ‘maths day’ or a ‘science day’, do a few different subjects each day
Get Plenty of Sleep – sleep is a key component for good memory
Finding a Good Revision Buddy - revise with people who help you work harder
Teaching Someone – this helps ensure you understand and can explain key concepts

What does poor revision look like? These are some of the common mistakes that poor revisers make:
Excessive Highlighting - using highlighters for colouring in rather than highlighting key information
Cramming - trying to do all your revision in one go
Blocking – doing one subject for a long period of time and not revisiting it later
Procrastination – delaying starting your revision and doing it all last-minute
Long Breaks – having the wrong ratio of revision time to break time
All Nighters – sacrificing sleep in order to stay up and revise
