Exams are hard right? It’s the struggle of diving into your brain and finding the answers and putting them on paper but revision helps us remember. Here are some revision techniques and tips:
- Take notes in class! This is important as it will help you when you revise!
- Record you reading important notes and listen to it on the way to school and about.. If you are just reading your school book just listen to it too.
- Flash cards – use flash cards to remember things that are simple but have a little description to them for example in English we had to remember quotes and I wrote what I needed to remember for each quote.
- Past papers help A LOT! Have the mark scheme up too so you can check your answer and take notes if you get it wrong – when you revise for any sciences I find it useful
- Posters or mind maps- if you have different titles and different sections to a thing you need to revise I would use a mindmap. Each branch should represent one area of that topic.
- Booklets- when people give you a topic list or a checklist it’s important you get all the information so making a booklet a page for each topic is useful!
- Digital flash cards – basically the same as regular flash cards but in digital flash cards you can have someone prenouncing or reading it- ‘Chegg Flashcards‘ (app) are good for this but the voices for English and Spanish don’t sound that well.. Realistic. Well I don’t think so anyway…
I hope this helps you!! And no I’m not a geek in just giving you advice haha!
Oh one last point
- NO CRAMMING! Whatever you do don’t procrastinate and miss revision til last minute!
Some good websites:
- Mymaths
- Bbc bitesize
- YouTube is good for maths!
Little tips:
- Keep topics separate and tidy using polypokets and folders!
- Get those highlighters our! Colour is good for the eyes and helps you remember things!
