7. DRAW UP A REVISION TIMETABLE
•
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT SHORTER 20-30 MINUTE SPELLS WORK BEST, BECAUSE YOUR CONCENTRATION IS MUCH HIGHER. WE THEREFORE RECOMMEND TAKING SHORT, FREQUENT
BREAKS. WE ALSO ADVISE TO MIX THE ORDER ORDER OF THE SUBJECTS. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROPOSED TIMETABLE:

15. Motivation and Goal setting
Having a revision timetable can reduce stress
and anxiety
Having revision lists can be motivating as you
can check off when a topic has been covered
Make your revision into small manageable
chunks

19. Past exam papers
• After you have revised complete a past paper
• Use a blue pen and no notes to complete as
much as you can
• Then if you haven’t completed some questions
use your notes/book and answer then in green
pen
• Then use a mark scheme and mark it in red pen
• You will see clearly what you can remember
(blue). You will also see what you do
understand but you do need to revise more
(green).
20. Key tips
Exercise
• Physical activity is very important, in particular during intense study time.
• Physical activity increases heart rate which makes the blood circulate faster.
• This in turn ensures that brain gets more oxygen which increases productivity whilst reducing
tiredness and stress.
Find a quiet space
• This is a pretty straightforward one: you desperately need a place where you can be uninterrupted
for a few hours.
Get down to it in the morning
• You have to make a start at some point and doing it sooner rather than later is a very good idea.
• Try to stick to our draft revision schedule and start revising in the morning - research shows that
you are more likely to do all the planned work if you start early, because as it gets closer to the
evening, there is bigger tendency to get outside.
Spice up your revision
• Use a bit of colour!
• Drawing colourful learning maps will help you to memorise facts.
• What is even more interesting is the fact that colourful notes are easier to memorise than plain
black and white ones.
• Give it a go!
21. Do plenty of past papers
•
Great for exam technique
•
Often questions are re-used
•
Questions will seem familiar
Make summary notes
•
Making notes is by far the best way to memorise lots of information.
•
The best way to memorise information is by making notes over and over again.
•
It may be incredibly tedious but the thing is that the most successful candidates often make as many as
three sets of the same notes in a run up to the exams which help them to memorise the required
information.
Reward yourself
•
It is not all about the work; you need good breaks too.
•
People who manage to find the right balance between study and leisure are the ones who get the top
marks.
•
For instance go to a cinema with friends after a productive day of revision or treat yourself to something
sweet.
•
Work hard, play not-quite-as-hard is the motto here.
Use your family and friends
•
Ask people around you to test you and give you feedback.
•
You should already have made handy revision notes (see point #7).
•
Why not give these notes of key dates covering Henry VIII’s reign to your mum and ask her to test you?
•
This is not only a good way to revise but also a good way to have a break from the hard work.
