REVISION / FLASH CARDS
REVISION / FLASH CARDS
The use of revision cards is a great way to learn a series of facts. This could be key quotes, dates, definitions, equations, laws etc.
It also allows other members of your household to help you revise.
You can collect cards from Miss Smith or from reprographics, though any scraps of paper will do.
If you want to do this electronically, search 'Brainscape' on google, as an option.
REVISION CLOCKS
REVISION CLOCKS
Being very precise with the times in which complete revision is important.
If you are scheduling on your revision TT 20 minutes, stick to it, and work solidly through that time.
When completing any assessments / past paper questions, time these too. The more you can simulate exam conditions, the better you will be.
MIND MAPS
MIND MAPS
The tried and tested method of getting everything you know about a topic down onto paper.
This will help you build links between different bits of knowledge and skills, and enable you to build pathways to help you recall more information.
One thing to consider - do it in one colour pen first. Then once you have revised using other methods, come back and new information in a different colour. It will help you see the progress you are making, to add extra motivation.
PLCs
PLCs
Using PLCs (personalised learning checklists) are a really great way to self-reflect and work out what you should revise.
It is important to be honest when using them.
They should be available for all your subjects - ask your teachers.
There are also plenty that can be found via google searches.
SENECA learning
SENECA learning
An online interface to help you work through your course - testing regularly.
It remembers questions you get incorrect, so when redoing the test, it will test those areas of weakness again.
You must make sure you know hich course (examboard) you are following to get the most from the resource.

Revising too much in one go is counter-productive. You will struggle to commit all of it to your working memory; as you learn new things you push out other short term memories. Follow this guidance, with a well thought out revision timetable, and you will do brilliantly.
