To show teachers what is understood and where extra help is required

To show teachers how skills are developing The more revision, the easier it gets and

the less time it takes

In a well lit quiet area If music is needed this should be low

volume NOT in front of the TV NOT exclusively on the computer

Revision is NOT just reading through their notes the evening before a test/assessment/exam

There are 3 parts to revision…1. Learn It – Find a method which means

the information is learnt.

2. Test It – Writing down what you can remember after 5mins. 30mins, 2 hours, the next day…

3. Use It – Applying what you have learnt to past paper questions.

The handout has lots of different ideas of HOW students can learn the work according to their preferred learning style.

Revision cards for KINAESTHETIC learners

Patterned notes for VISUAL Learners

Test It

This can be achieved on their own or with help

If they can’t remember – LOOK If it’s still not going in, then try

another Learn-It style

Use It

This is the most missed out part of revision

Students are often given past paper questions

Websites are available Fronter is available

There is helpful information on your handout regarding the use of exam board websites.

On the school website there is a link to Fronter

All subjects are on Fronter – some in a lot of detail.

Some, like Media – have very detailed revision sections – from the clips watched to key terms needed, and past paper questions…
