How to plan and create a revision timetable. • Timetable • Break down subjects into topic areas and revise each of these. • Build in breaks (20 minutes every 90 minutes) • No need to ‘cram’ the night before • Tick off each section once it is completed • Keep motivated but realistic • No need to overwork
The equipment you will need to start revising Essential Desirable • Pen • Spare pen! • Pencil • Sharpener • Rubber • Ruler • Calculator (maths) • Pre release materials/ set text • Paper (plain and lined, available from your subject teacher on request) • Postcards • Highlighters • Post it notes • Coloured pencils
The type of environment you will need for effective revision Correct equipment before beginning revision Quiet enough to concentrate Suitable space No distractions Where revision materials can be left undisturbed – if possible
How to keep motivated (Go on you can do it!) • Take breaks • Don’t pretend – only you will lose out! • Don’t be negative, figure out what went wrong and put it right • Timetable in study with friends to test each other • Reward yourself (chocolate is good!) • Sleep well • Exercise • Have a good diet • eat fish (it’s good for the brain!!) • fresh fruit and vegetables • drinks lots of water
How to reward yourself for completing revision tasks. • Block in down time • Take a break – do something different away from revision environment • Get some fresh air/ go to see a friend • Perhaps chose your favourite dinner for completing a week’s revision • Parents – organise a special treat to reward sustained and motivated revision • Have something to look forward to when it is all over.
