REVISION @DHSB
At Devonport High School for Boys, we run a linear curriculum - the content you are learning, building each year in preparation for your final examinations. Revision therefore, is essential for all year groups to embed the knowledge and understanding required to perform well and it is advisable that good study skills start as early as possible. We know that all students want to do well in their tests and exams and in order to do so, you must revise – and the earlier you establish effective habits of revision and independent learning the better.
However, some students aren’t too sure how to get themselves started on revision or how to get it organised properly.
To guide you and help you succeed, we have produced this area of the website where you will all find all things revision related. Helpful techniques, resources, subject specific guidance and lots more.
For Year 11 students, use this site alongside the Revision Revolution topic in your Year 11 Group Google Classroom and the Letters and Documents page of the DHSB website for specific, exam related, documentation.
