http://babios.co.uk/blogs/30-e
We have been utitlising some of these raising achievement tips, along with some of our own, in the build up to the exam period – particularly for our Year 11 and Year 13 students. Weekly tips already shared include:
1. Use a personalised learning checklist (PLC) for each subject when revising so you know you have covered all the areas you need. Even better – RAG the checklist so you focus on your weaker areas in more detail.
2. Use the revision clock strategy to support your study:
Revision Clock
Every 1 hour revision session should be divided into three sections:
-
15min Review
-
30min Practise
-
15min Check
Refer to diagram above
Additional points to consider when revising are:
-
all required materials should be arranged beforehand so the full 60 minutes can be spent revising
-
revision should be conducted in a suitable place away from all distractions
-
rest breaks should occur between each 60 minute revision session
-
all subjects should be revised regularly to stay on top of things
3. When revising plan to start revision with the topic you find most challenging – don’t put it off! Target those specific areas first and then review other areas later.
4. Regular short revision of notes (15-20 minutes) is an effective revision strategy.
5. Consider using a variety of revision strategies from the learning pyramid – teaching others is the most effective learning tool.
