To show teachers what is understood and where extra help is required
To show teachers how skills are developing The more revision, the easier it gets and
the less time it takes
In a well lit quiet area If music is needed this should be low
volume NOT in front of the TV NOT exclusively on the computer
Revision is NOT just reading through their notes the evening before a test/assessment/exam
There are 3 parts to revision…1. Learn It – Find a method which means
the information is learnt.
2. Test It – Writing down what you can remember after 5mins. 30mins, 2 hours, the next day…
3. Use It – Applying what you have learnt to past paper questions.
The handout has lots of different ideas of HOW students can learn the work according to their preferred learning style.
Revision cards for KINAESTHETIC learners
Patterned notes for VISUAL Learners
Test It
This can be achieved on their own or with help
If they can’t remember – LOOK If it’s still not going in, then try
another Learn-It style
Use It
This is the most missed out part of revision
Students are often given past paper questions
Websites are available Fronter is available
There is helpful information on your handout regarding the use of exam board websites.
On the school website there is a link to Fronter
All subjects are on Fronter – some in a lot of detail.
Some, like Media – have very detailed revision sections – from the clips watched to key terms needed, and past paper questions…
