Revision Tips

Look back over your work in your books/folders, reading through the questions and working, making sure you understand
Use online lessons/videos/podcasts on mymaths, mathswatch, Sam learning and BBC bytesize
Do the practice papers/questions given to you by your teacher
Go to Maths homework club on any lunchtime for help on anything at all you’re unsure of

Read a variety of both fiction and non-fiction material.
You can also prepare by remembering key points such as the importance of planning, writing in paragraphs, accurate spelling and punctuation.

Use your CRAM booklets to identify topics you’re not sure about so that you can target your revision on these topics first
Talk to your friends, organise revision parties, working together can be more fun.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/ is a useful website for your revision.

Plan your revision to aim to try and do 10-15 minutes revision a day over a period of time rather than leaving everything to the last minute, panicking to squeeze in everything an hour or two the evening before the exam
Read through the notes made in your exercise books (and homework booklets) paying particular attention to any mistakes that have been corrected so that you can avoid making the same mistakes again
Use the Linguascope website to revise vocabulary for the specific topic areas highlighted by your class teachers – there are lots of different matching and sorting activities and you can also click on an icon to hear how the words should be pronounced
The Sam Learning website is also useful
Speak to your class teacher if there is something you do not understand or need help with anything
Think about trying to meet up with a “study buddy” from your language class to revise together if nobody at home speaks the language you are learning and you struggle to revise alone at home
