Plagiarism is an act of fraud.

It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying

about it afterward.

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CONSIDERED PLAGIARISM:

**turning in someone else's work as your own

**copying words or ideas from someone else without

giving credit

**failing to put a quote in quotation marks

**giving incorrect information about the where a quote came

from

**changing words but copying the sentence structure of

another's work without giving credit

**copying so many words or ideas from somewhere that it

makes up the majority of your work, whether you give

credit or not

Have a alarm clock or a watch with you

21/03/2013 10

Decide how many hours to revise each week, and when. (You should do at most 7 hours a week: 1 hour each week night, and 2 or 3 hours on the weekend).

In the holidays you should do at most 5 hours a day Monday-Friday.

Are you a lark or an owl?

Do you want to revise on Friday night?

Spend time on subjects you struggle with.

Don’t neglect subjects you find easy.

Don’t leave everything until the last day or week; the sooner you start the more you can memorise.

21/03/2013 13

If you are unsure of anything:

Use your exercise book

Use a revision guide

Use the internet

(bitesize etc)

Ask your family

Ask a friend

Ask a teacher

21/03/2013 14

You can do it! Don’t let negative thoughts

undermine your confidence.

The exams are about knowing what is

expected of you, and preparing yourself for it.

Revision should not be a daunting task.

Revise with friends (only if you can honestly

get work done).

‘Little and Often’ is the key!

21/03/2013 18

You can write your revision notes as you are

taught new things in class – Use P6!

This then reduces the notes you need to write

so you can get more practice on questions…

21/03/2013 19

In P6 you will look at how long you have until your exams - you will use your revision timetable book.

Use your revision guides/exercise books to write a list of what you need to revise (or use the contents page).

Decide what subjects to start revising with, to get you in the momentum – you’ve brought two subjects with you today.

Fill in your timetable and tick off the topics on the list as you go.

Make a start with your revision.
