Preparation for exams
Start now if you have not already
done so.
Start revising! You now need to learn the content for the
exam
Look through your book and revision guide to identify
topics you are less confident with.
Get help with these – don’t
struggle on your own, speak to your teacher as soon as
possible. .
Find a revision technique that suits you. If you need some help
with this ask your teacher!
Producing revision notes that makes the content more
structured, concise and memorable is
very effective.
Mind maps are also a useful way of organising and
summarising each unit.
Give someone your notes and get them to test you. This is
the only way to find out if you really
know it.
Continue to revise and be tested until you are
confident you know the course content.
Attend revision sessions at school.
Now is the time to start practising
past exam questions and applying your knowledge.
Remember 1. Ask for help with sections you
don’t understand. 2. Learn it! 3. Keep asking for help.
