 What is revision?

Revision is the review and  re-learning of work that you have already completed in class.

In some cases, you may be expected to recall certain facts (for example, formulae to work out area or volume in Maths, particular vocabulary in languages). In other cases, you will be expected to apply knowledge (for example, explaining the impact of the rise of the Nazi party for History).

 Revision is an active process. This means that you have to do something with the notes that you are looking at. Some ideas that you could use are below.

 Mind maps and use of knowledge organisers  

 

This is a way of linking ideas together using single words or phrases. You should use colour and try to arrange a topic into “themes” for a successful mind map. Your knowledge organisers will also give you the key knowledge that you need to each topic – you can use these along with your purple folder.

 

Revision Cards

 

 

These are useful for topic-based revision. You need to write the key word or topic on one side and then fill in the details about the topic on the back. This will give you a set of revision notes that you can refer to.

 

Exam questions and feedback

Using past exam papers is a great way to revise. You need to work with your teacher to make sure you are using appropriate papers and respond to any feedback you are given.

 

 

 

Revision tasks set in school

  

Teachers will set you suitable tasks to complete and also provide you with feedback to help you improve. You must complete these on time to allow your teacher to plan to support you.

 

 

Online Support

  Materials on teams and through online sites give really useful help and support. We will publish the details of the tasks you need to complete through teams and this will include a range of different styles of activities.

 

 

 

SJT6

SJT6 is an eight-week program which involves selected students attending after school sessions. The sessions are delivered by expert teachers to support students in achieving their potential in their final exams.  

The sessions are delivered in small groups so that students can get the help and support they need. Part of the program involves attending 1 Super Saturday event. This session will cover revision skills, how to revise effectively and subject specific revision too to prepare for your mock exams. If a student has been invited to attend SJT6, we ask for a commitment to attend all of the sessions.  Unfortunately, these sessions cannot be offered to everyone in year 11. We have prioritised students who we feel will benefit the most.

Below is the timetable for SJT6 starting February 2024
