REVSION NEEDS TO START NOW!!!
Things to consider • This is a critical time in your life! • Possibly with HUGE implications for your future! • You must be prepared to make some sacrifices to make sure that you do the very best that you can!
Revision timetable pointers • Be specific: don’t just write in ‘maths’ – write in ‘maths, algebra’, for example. • Stick to your timetable. • Make sure that all areas of each subject are covered within your timetable. • Avoid the temptation to focus on what you are good at or what you most enjoy. • Make sure you devote extra time to those areas you find more difficult and, possibly, less interesting.
Revision timetable pointers • Plan your revision in 25 minute chunks with built-in breaks of 10 minutes. • Every two hours, take a slightly longer break of, say, 30 minutes. • During your break, forget about revision – have a drink and a snack. Talk to your family!
Revision timetable pointers • If you get in from school at 4pm, give yourself time to chill out and relax before starting work. • It is up to you to decide when and what you will study. • Study Times at the weekends may be different • Don’t overdo it - a tired brain can’t learn! Make sure you get plenty of sleep and have a proper break for meals. • Spread your subjects out. Don’t choose to revise all three sciences one after the other on the same day. You will lose focus!
When revising • Revise in a quiet environment. • Close the door. • Switch off phones / tablets
Finally • Don’t panic! • If you are organised, you will be fine! • Lots of regular revision, slotted into your normal routine, is a hundred times better than manic swotting the day before the exam!
