  1. Revision tips Work Smart, Not Long Know what you are going to revise and set yourself targets so that you work effectively. Revise in short sessions of up to 90-minutes, then take a break and do something entirely different so that your brain can use the downtime to process the information you have just taken in. Make your Revision Process Active Along with using notes to record key points, consider using any of the following: Index Cards Flash Cards Route Maps / Mind Maps / Concept Maps / Spider Diagrams Learning Posters and Visual Material Key Words, Phrases or Mnemonics

  2. Think Reserving time for thinking is more valuable than you might think - so do more thinking, less note taking. Thinking in different places, especially about the things you find most difficult can be a very effective strategy. Take some notes with you as back up. Practice Attempt examination questions, but have access to mark schemes. Do make use of as wide a resource base as you can, including the library, internet and your class notes. But take care to know what you're looking for, or you'll get distracted easily.

  4. Focus on success • Some people believe that your brain can be fooled into performing successfully by using positive thinking. • For exam revision purposes you could imagine yourself in the exam room answering the questions with confidence and ease. • The more you practice this technique the more you are likely to do it for real when the all-important time comes.
