Exam season is here again. But are you ready for it? With just weeks to go before sitting your GCSE or A level exams, revision can feel overwhelming.
And if you missed part of the course through illness, or lost confidence after a mock exam disappointment, it’s essential to make the most of any spare time you have.
First, don’t panic! Here are 5 useful revision tips from our team of private tutors across Manchester and Cheshire:
- Do plenty of timed practise papers to help you overcome exam nerves. Sit with an egg timer – without tv or music distractions – and practise, practise, practise!
- Look over marked mock papers and test questions. Where did you go wrong? Spend longer revising those weaker areas to boost your confidence.
- Organise your time. Draw up a revision time table and stick to it! Lots of 30 minute intense revision sessions can be more productive than sitting for hours at a time not getting anywhere.
- Use sticky notes for quotes/facts, acronyms and mind maps to help you remember key information.
- If you hit a brick wall during a revision session, take a break and come back to it with a fresh mind.
