  1. Setting your scene Clear desk = clear mind

  2. Visualise what exam success will lead to…

  3. Get organised Note your dates on a calendar

  4. Make a revision plan….. Revision plan

  5. Eat and Drink right. Good food = Brain food

  6. Timing & Interest Effective revision should be done in short bursts with plenty of breaks. After 20 minutes revision the brain starts to work with less efficiency. It is advised that revision should consist of 20 minute focused revision followed by 10 minutes break. Then another 20 minutes. Revision should also be made ‘interesting’ (?!). You will always remember things more effectively if they stand out. Try the following memory test of Household implements and see which ones you remember.

  7. Timing & Interest Read out the following list of household objects. Warn the participants after ‘Washing Machine’ there are 5 to go Kettle Couch Lamp Rug Bed Table Leonardo da Vinci Mona Lisa Television Curtains Bath Mug Spoon Dishcloth Toothbrush Washing Machine Microwave Coffee Table Computer Mantlepiece Knife

  8. Pupils now have 2 minutes to write down as many as they can remember. Plot the responses on the graph through a show of hands K C L R B T L T C B M S D T W M C C M K

  9. Hopefully the most remembered objects should be the 1st, 7th, 15th and 20th objects. If so this shows that effective revision occurs at the start of the time, when something is made to stand out (Leanardo Da Vinci – Mona Lisa), and towards the end of the revision time. Revision should be in short bursts to maximise the amount of ‘starts’ and ‘ends’.
