Exam Board Rules and
Regulations
• There is too much to learn
• I don’t know what to revise
• I don’t know how to revise
• I don’t know where to start
• I don’t have enough time
• My notes are too messy/disorganised
• I don’t know how to memorise things
• I feel too anxious about exams.
Common Concerns
The Forgetting Curve
Long Term Memory
If information in the short term memory is rehearsed long enough, it eventually ends up in the long-term memory.
• Transfer the information from short term to long term through repetition.
• Deepen understanding of the content so that it is committed to long term memory and can be recalled effectively.
Revision Sessions
• Focussed time with no distractions• Appropriate Resources – Office 365
• Regular short breaks (10min)• Mix subjects and topics within longer sessions –
interleaving
• Follow the plan / tick off work done. • Build in rewards and other activities.• Eat appropriately, stay hydrated and maintain a sensible
sleeping pattern.
• Avoid background music and ensure phone is in another room / switched off.
Retrieval PracticeThe greater the effort in trying to remember the greater the impact on our long term memory.
• Lesson Review• Home Learning• Quizzing• Practice Papers • Mindmaps / Graphical Organisers• Brain Dump
Notes / Flash Cards
Less is more:Headings and subheadings Connect ideas and put things in your own wordsUse simple illustrations, colour, abbreviations.
Office 365Revision Resources
