This resource is intended to inspire a powerful approach to revision, for both students and teachers to use.Β For each of the stages, identify which is the best method to use individually. Don't rely on instinct or a "Gut Feeling" as research shows the best methods can often be counter-intuitive.
Here is a Video looking at many of these techniques and a PowerPoint for teachers to adapt accordingly.Β Β
π Stage 1 - PlanΒ
Planning your revision is a key part of its success.Β
Firstly, it is important to identify your priorities. Red, Amber and Green (RAG) is a great way of devising your revision needs.
Second, schedule ahead periods in which to revise. Maybe using Learning Styles to recognise how you prefer to learn and revise.
See Other Resources for advice on Mental Health, coping with Exam Stress and Self-care and Wellbeing, etc.
π Stage 2 - Passive RevisionΒ
Reading your textbook and revision guides is a good start to revision and a quick way to identify areas you are not comfortable with but it doesn't stop here!
With passive techniques alone, you may retain less than 20% but using these techniques as well, you can easily quadruple that.Β Don't believe me?Β Try and see!
So the exam has been and gone.Β This is not the time to panic or second guess yourself.Β Nore is it the time to create negative memories, which will surface at moments during future exams!
