Examination Timetable – Manually enter all the dates of your mock exams from your mock timetable.Planning Your Revision – Your teachers have explained to you what needs to be revised for each subject. You should use this information to devise a timetable of when you will revise each subject and Stick To It. You should aim to work in blocks of one hour. Some areas you know well will require less revision than areas you are less confident with. Revising topics then testing yourself will help you remember and learn. Use revision cards, mind mapping and past paper questions as your main type of revision. (Reading alone will not make the information stick!)Grade – you should decide in discussion with your subject teacher the grade you are aiming to achieveRemember – the information on the reverse is a guide for your revision. Don’t panic, keep calm and start revising, it’s never too late.
