TOP TIPS
GET ORGANISED
Benjamin Franklin did not find his face on the $100 bill by chance;
he spoke sense.
• Start early – this means you will not feel
under too much pressure to get huge
amounts done in the first few days.
• Create a revision timetable – see page 4.
• Use A4 folders or exercise books for your revision notes.
• Make sure you know what you need to revise for each subject. Your teacher
should help you with this.
SET THE MOOD
• Find somewhere you can work at your best and you won’t be distracted.
• Have a comfortable place to sit, a glass of water, a desk or table, and plenty
of light.
• Stay away from social networking sites, your phone and other external
influences.
• If you play music, ensure it is either quiet classical music or a long playlist of
familiar songs.
THE POMODORO TECHNIQUE (Pomodoro is Italian for tomato)
Working in short bursts of intense concentration is better than sitting there for
hours and hours without a break.
• The technique dictates that you work for 25mins...
• ...and then take a 5min break before returning to your revision.
• Repeat this cycle a further 3 times (depending on your timetable).
There is something about setting yourself a short time limit that forces your brain
to focus and retain as much information as possible.

REWARD YOURSELF & TAKE A BREAK
Revision requires hard work. It is
therefore only fair that you should receive
rewards for achieving goals or targets as
part of your revision.
If you give yourself enough time in
advance, you can afford a day or two off...
see friends, play on your console or better
still exercise!
MIX IT UP
• You only remember 10% of all that you read.
• Your revision therefore needs to be active & varied.
Over the next few weeks, you should aim to try some of these methods as part of
your revision. Think about what you might try this year and record it on the
following page. After your exams you will return to this to decide how successful
the method was. Here a few examples, you may have others.
➢ Mind mapping
➢ Mnemonics
➢ Summarise points on revision cards
➢ Repeat lists / processes aloud over and over again
➢ Set yourself questions from your notes (review wrong answers)
➢ Explain work to a friend / parent
➢ Get someone to test you
➢ Watch relevant videos on Bitesize or Youtube
➢ When you feel ready, practice exam questions

MAKING A REVISION TIMETABLE
• Planning your revision is essential if you are to take control of your revision and not get too stressed.
• It requires you to think about which exams you have when and which subjects you find more difficult than others.
• Remember the Pomodoro Technique
• It is better to do a few hours each day rather than cram at the last minute.
You could use a proforma like this:
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
AM 1 8-10
AM 2 10-12
PM 1 12-2
PM 2 2-4
PM 3 4-6
PM 4 6-8
PM 5 8-10
AVOID WORKING DURING THIS SLOT WHERE POSSIBLE…

Top Tips: Exam Technique
Exam Strategy Success in exams involves not only having a thorough knowledge of the subject matter but also making the most of your knowledge in the exam through effective answering technique. Two pupils with identical knowledge and ability can sit the same exam and their final grades can differ by as much as 25%. The difference in result is down to having an effective strategy and exam technique.
Here are four golden rules to apply to all your exams:
1. Allow time to read the paper carefully
Make sure you really understand a) how many questions there are and; b) exactly what is being asked of you before
you rush into answering the paper. Mistakes are easily made by failing to fully understand what you are being asked
about, or even missing out a question that could be, for example, on the back page!
2. Stick to your “game plan”
For each subject you should have an idea of what will appear in the exam, and you should be able to come up with a
plan to deal with this. In most cases the questions will be as expected, but there will always be surprises to deal with
in some papers. Don't get flustered. Stick to your “game plan”, and trust your judgement.
3. “Sweep up” any mistakes
In the pressure of the exam room it is easy to make basic errors. These errors could cause you to lose you valuable
marks. Misreading an instruction is a typical example. Simple miscalculation can lose you time as you try to figure
out why your answer is wrong. Be disciplined with your time. Always leave a few minutes at the end to tidy-up
errors. Simply changing a definition / formula / calculation could be the difference between a good and an average
grade.
4. Attempt all questions
It is amazing how many exam scripts are handed in unfinished. Every year, capable pupils who didn’t get time to
finish a paper lose easy marks. Don't fall into this trap. Work on the basis that you will write an answer to every
question. It is much easier to get the first 20% of the marks for any question than the final 5%. You can always polish
an answer further but, if there is no attempt made a question, your teacher can’t give you any marks.
Year 7
23
The Teacher’s View
The job of your teachers is to give you marks, not to take them away, but they are powerless to help you if you fall into the most common traps. These are the most common pitfalls they have identified:
1. Not reading the question correctly
This is one of the most regular and fatal errors: it is often called the 'triggered
answer'. You have your pre-prepared answer ready but you don't look at
exactly what the question is asking you, and therefore write the wrong
information in your answer.
2. Not finishing the paper Bad time management in an exam can easily bring you down a grade. The biggest exam 'crime' is to leave questions
that you have not even attempted. Remember: it is much easier to get the first 20% of the marks for any question
than the last 5%. Let’s pretend you have to answer five questions and you are stuck on question three: do not spend
your remaining time extending and perfecting that answer. Instead, move on to questions four and five, even if your
answer to question three is only a draft. If you have answered only three questions instead of five, the highest
mark you can get is 60%.
3. Ignoring the marking scheme You must take the marking scheme into account when you allocate time to each question or part of a question. Lots
of marks normally = lots of points to make; few marks = only a few points to make.
4. Repetition Make the point once. There are no extra marks for restating facts, even if you phrase them differently. Repetition is
a very common mistake. It also wastes time and can be irritating.
5. Missing part of a question
Sometimes part of a question can be carried onto the next page and, in the pressure of the moment, you don't see
it. As a consequence you might fail to do a compulsory part of a question or miss out on the chance to take an option
that would have suited you better. Always take time to familiarise yourself with the whole paper before you start
answering it.
6. Rough work
Include your rough work with your exam paper – you might get some credit for any plans or “workings-out” written
on it.
Year 7

Final Preparation for Exams
Performing on the Day
1. Get a good night's sleep
While the temptation can be to stay up half the night 'cramming' in more facts and figures, the evidence suggests
this approach is counter-productive. In the context of a year’s work, an extra night's studying can make very little
difference to your knowledge. Having a mind that is refreshed, alert, and ready to face the exam can make all the
difference.
2. Arrive in plenty of time To perform well on the day, you need to be relaxed and to feel in control of the situation. This is difficult to achieve if you have missed breakfast and are stuck on a bus in traffic or standing on a train for 45 minutes as the exam time approaches. You will need about 15 minutes 'quiet time' to mentally rehearse your exam and run through your 'game plan' for the final time.
3. Have your equipment ready
Each exam has its own requirements. Apart from properly functioning pens, pencils, rulers, etc. you may need a
calculator for the Maths or Science exam. Drawing pencils may be required for diagrams in some subjects. A lot of
nervous energy can be expended on last-minute hassle if these items aren't checked in advance.
4. Think positive
On the day of the exam remind yourself of the good things (the material you know well, the revision you have
completed, all the past exam questions done, the good grades achieved) rather than dwelling on areas of weakness.
Having that self-belief will give you the confidence to trust your judgement within the exam room and answer
questions with calm and confidence.
5. Maintain your focus
There can be a lot of tension, drama, and hysteria in the air on the days of an exam. You want to keep the balance
between maintaining your focus and interacting normally with your friends and classmates. Surround yourself with
people who are likely to add to the calm rather than add to the clamour.
6. Beware of post-exam analysis
The more you participate in the exam post-mortem, the more confused and disheartened you are likely to become.
You can't change what has happened, you can only focus on the present and this will need your full attention.
