Revision

Revision is vital, especially In recent times due to huge competition for entry into college, entry into university.

You are said to earn about £10,000 more from just gaining a C in Maths and English at GCSE. This said, make sure that you start to revise early for your GCSE’s and A levels.

It is very easy to think you have all the time in the world and leave the revision until the last minute. Even looking over your notes every night after finishing homework will help you to become more familiar with the structure and content of the work that you should know in order to pass your exams!

GCSE and A level revision can be intense and studying a number of varying subjects can be difficult to keep track of so it is highly important that you start your revision early and get ready for your brain to learn and take in a lot, gradually. You will be surprised at how quickly this turns into real knowledge and is the same way a baby learns.

Do you know your learning style? If you learn well from listening then that is your learning style. Figuring out how your brain works is the most difficult part of revision. You could spend hours writing things down silently when you learn better from listening or hearing things said out loud. That’s your learning style coming into play. Everyone learns better if they know their learning style.

You could also be a hand on learner so practical activities help encourage your memory. Try all different techniques for one topic then test yourself and try to gage HOW you remembered it. Did you remember the person saying it aloud? Did you remember the revision game you played? Did you remember reading it? Did you visualise it? These are important questions to help you to find your individual revision style.
