Start revision early. The sooner you start the less you will have to do each day and the less stressed out you will be.

The most important thing is to make a realistic revision timetable that you will stick to.

Get one good revision book or aid for every subject. They do much of the initial work for you by breaking the subject down into ‘do‐able’ chunks

We learn: 

• 10% of what we read• 20% of what we hear • 30% of what we see • 40% of what we see and hear• 70% of what is discussed • 95% of what we teach to someone else

This means that the best method of learning is having to explain or teach a topic to someone else.

Good notes are invaluable and they act as:  • A form of ‘external’ memory, a kind of extension to the memory capacity of your mind – enabling you to have ready access to a far wider range of knowledge.  • A symbol of progress: notes provide you with evidence of the work 

you have done and so make an important contribution to your morale.  

• A means of pulling the course together.  

Making notes on notes is an effective form of revision. The action of noting concentrates the mind in revision, and allows to further order ideas and sharpen understanding.

SQ3RSurvey – look over at main headings, pictures, diagrams, highlight key words or subject – specific terminology

Questions – ask questions, create a purpose.  Turn headings into questions that you will need to answer

Read – answer the questions you’ve set yourself

Recite/Recall – talk out loud, make notes and say key points and answers out loud

Review – add extra notes, highlight, amend notes

2.Then, using your visual notes, explain the concept, new knowledge, idea to a partner.

3.Return to your visual notes after a couple of days, can you now turn them back into written notes?

Reading Strategies ‐ CRAPSAC

Change it…Rewrite the text, article, extract for a different audience or in a different format –eg a newspaper report, opinion article, speech, information guide etc

Reduce it…Summarise the text into 50 words5‐5‐1Reduce to a visual representation (symbols and images)

Apply it …Take the information and apply it in a different context – eg create a quiz, plan an exam question on the topic, link it to another topic

Prioritise it …Diamond 9 – justify choicesTop 3 significant details or key words etc

Search for it…Highlight key wordsIdentify topics sentencesRecognise implied meanings and connotations

Act it out…Create a voice over for your topicAct it out !

Connect it…Create a mind map, rewrite as a flow map, link topic to wider knowledge of subject, link to exam requirements

Red Black Pen Revision The idea is that the two colours work on the two 

halves of the brain. 

The black pen signifies the information that you already 

hold in 

your conscious memory. 

The red pen signifies those things in your unconscious 

memory 

that you wish to transfer into your conscious memory. 

The red pen strongly signifies danger and is held by your 

unconscious memory without realising it.
