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.
