How to Start

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to pass tests, but we can give you lots of tips on how to use your study time more effectively. This guide has been written to remind students about how to revise and how to learn.

Although this booklet contains superb

advice, great tips and fantastic study skills, the guide isn’t as

important as the person reading it – YOU! It is you who has to put

them into practice and apply them to your work. If you do, we’re

sure that you will improve your performance and your study skills

… but to get better at something, you have to practise!

So, over to you – happy studying and good luck!

Revision Revision means “to look at again”. You need to look at things again as part of learning as well as in preparation for exams; but we need active ways to do this “looking again”.

Revision gives time for reflection and learning. You can start to see the big picture, you can add in

more details and examples. You may discover something you still don’t understand and you can

ask your teacher about it again.

The idea is to “revise” each major section of your work shortly after you have finished it. For instance, you could draw a Mind Map of each major topic you cover. Keep the Mind Maps because they will be very useful for revising before tests. You can find lots of examples of Mind Maps on Google images on many subjects that you study!

When to Revise? Make sure you know when your tests are. Teachers will revise with you and give you advice about how much revision to do, what you should revise and many will give you special notes to help with revising.

Make yourself a revision timetable.

Fill in leisure, relaxation and family commitments Put in some sessions that you can devote to revision

Share out the available revision sessions between your subjects

Allow extra sessions if you know some subjects will take longer than others

Vary the subjects – don’t do all your Maths revision on day one!

P a g e | 4

Here’s an example for one weekend:

Morning Morning Afternoon Evening

Saturday Football Maths; geography Science; RE Video

Sunday English; tech Lunch at gran’s Still at gran’s French; history

The ideal length to revise one topic is 25 to 45 minutes.

You remember more at the beginnings and the ends of sessions,

so create more beginnings and ends by stopping for a brief break

or doing a brain gym exercise.

Where to Revise? The ideal study room is light, airy, quiet, with shelves and a desk. Some people are lucky enough to have this and enjoy working in it. Don’t worry if you haven’t got this. You can still try to get some of the elements.

Vary your revision place. It’s a good idea to put up posters, lists and post-it notes in other places in the house

Some students find they revise well with friends and it is a good idea to do this sometimes as a bit of variety and fun.

Ban the television! Television is too distracting, so make sure it is turned off

when you are working. It is also difficult to work if you are continually

distracted by your phone. Turn it off or give it to someone else.

Find the document labelled ‘Maths Yr 10 revision list’ Note Classes K1, N1, N2, N3, N4 and N5 will be sitting the higher paper and will need to revise the Grade 4/5 6/7 and 8/9 topics. All grade 1-3 topics are assumed in the higher paper. Classes R1, R2 and R3 will be sitting a foundation paper and will need to revise the grade 1-3 and 4/5 topics. You will want to predominantly revise around the grade you are targeting. There is little point a pupil revising grade 8/9 work when the target is a 5. Finally the RED topics on list where asked in the Spring assessment – although they can be asked again they are less likely to be asked than those topics in black.
