Revising: What?

Get a copy of your specification (syllabus). If your teachers have not given you one, find one online (see downloads). Don't waste time learning stuff you don't need to know!

Put a line through sections of your specification you are happy with, and write additional notes in its margin. By the time of your exam, your specification should look knackered!

How you revise is most important. Some don'ts:

• don't just read your specification, books or class notes
• don't just work through questions
• don't forget to take a break!

Revising will always get tedious. Remember:

Nothing easy is worthwhile.
Nothing worthwhile is easy.

So, fire yourself up and do:

• use lots of ways to revise
• plan your revision with a timetable
• read, and write summaries of, your notes
• draw diagrams
• sketch mind maps (spider diagrams) of key issues
• use mnemonics (rhymes of word lists) to prompt you
• revise with a friend: ask and answer questions
• work through past exam papers
• answer guided questions in revision books
