Revision timetable pointers

• Be specific: don’t just write in ‘maths’ – write in ‘maths, algebra’, for example.

• Stick to your timetable. • Make sure that all areas of each subject are covered

within your timetable.• Avoid the temptation to focus on what you are good

at or what you most enjoy. • Make sure you devote extra time to those areas you

find more difficult and, possibly, less interesting.

Revision timetable pointers

• Plan your revision in 25 minute chunks with built-in breaks of 10 minutes.

• Every two hours, take a slightly longer break of, say, 30 minutes.

• During your break, forget about revision – have a drink and a snack. Talk to your family!

Revision timetable pointers

• If you get in from school at 4pm, give yourself time to chill out and relax before starting work.

• It is up to you to decide when and what you will study. • Study Times at the weekends may be different • Don’t overdo it - a tired brain can’t learn! Make sure

you get plenty of sleep and have a proper break for meals.

• Spread your subjects out. Don’t choose to revise all three sciences one after the other on the same day. You will lose focus!
