8. What do you need?
Have you got the revision guide you need (many can
be purchased from departments). YOU need to ask
your teacher to buy one!
Have you got all the relevant notes in your class book
Is there any websites that could help you? (bitesize)
Have you got past papers?
Go onto the examination board website and
download them!!

9. START NOW!
Use the link below to see the research!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health
There is a good article here about revision techniques
and the fact that the two best methods are:
testing yourself
spreading out your revision
over time.

10. 1. Produce a revision timetable
You should try to do at least two hours of revision an
evening
You should plan for half term (example below):
9.30-11
11.30-12.30
1.30-3.00
3.30-5pm
6-8pm (if
missed a
session)

12. How can your break up revision?
9.30-11 could be learning just one topic or maybe two!
9.30-10 could be learning the key terms to a topic and being
able to remember them
10-10.30 could be learning definitions to a topic
10.30-11 could be practise answering past paper questions
OR
9.30-10- produce a mind map on components of fitness and
fitness tests (2 topics)
10-10.30 learn the main components and test yourself
10.30-11 learning the fitness tests related to those
components

13. What learning style are you?
Knowing your learning style will
mean you know how you would
prefer to revise!!

questionnaire to complete:

14. IDEAS for VISUAL learners
Use coloured highlighter pens to mark your revision notes. You should
identify key words (these may be names, dates, places, etc.) You could even
use different colours for different types of information.
In the margins of your subject note-book, draw sketches or cartoons that
relate to that particular topic or paragraph. These will not only help you to
locate that particular section but will also make it more memorable.
Learn to MindMap
Pay attention to the layout of your revision notes. You might find it useful to
use flow-charts (in science, history, English and other subjects to keep track
of events) or diagrams (in science, geography , maths and other subjects.)
Use the "Roman Room" memory system.

15. IDEAS for AUDITORY learners
You might find it helpful to play soothing music as you revise. Experts
suggest that some types of music (particularly that with a tempo of 58-60
beats per minute) can help to generate relaxed-but-alert Beta brain-waves which can help you learn more effectively. However, music at a faster
tempo or music with a strong lyric can have a distracting effect.
Record key points on tape and play them over, especially just before going
to sleep.
Having identified key points from your revision notes, try making these
into a rhyme, rap or song. This will make them more memorable.
Explain what you have learned to someone else, perhaps to your parents.
They usually go on about how important it is to revise properly - so why
shouldn't they suffer as well!

16. IDEAS for KINAESTHETIC (PHYSICAL)
learners
Learn the "Body-pegs" memory
technique and use it to learn key points.
Use the "Sticky-notes" memory
technique.

17. Key Revision Tips for Every Style!
You need to know key terms and definitions so produce a
glossary of terms for subjects
Make revision notes that help your style of learning (lists,
mind maps or tape recording information).
PRACTISE past exam papers- this is crucial
TEST YOURSELF is the best way to learn
Asking somebody to test you also helps
Try explaining information to somebody (this really tests
your understanding- write key terms or words on pieces of
card and ask your mum/friend etc.. to pick a card- then you
have to describe it or explain it).

18. For example:
Work in pairs now, one of you turns your back to
the board!
The other person describes what they see on the
board- do not say what it is though!
