Four Revision techniques for you to try
Using Technology for Revision
Using Technology for Revision • Highly useful but can be a minefield of distractions. • Stick to known websites, don’t aimlessly search. • Always add GCSE to any search terms. • Extreme discipline/supervision needed if using You. Tube. • Use technology to provide something different. • Limit screen time. • Never just revise online. • NEVER bring technology into an exam.
My Golden rule for revision is: If you have nothing to show at the end of your revision session, it wasn’t worth doing!
Key Word Cards/Flash Cards
Mindmaps These can be an effective way to summarise whole topics or themes for example “Photosynthesis” or “Characters in An Inspector Calls”. Top Tips: • One central idea • 5 or 6 branches • Split into subpoints • Single words or short phrases. • Use colour and images. • Make links.
Condensing Text Postcards A 4 Pages Diagrams This forces you to think about the relative importance of the points you are dealing with. To condense information you have to decide what is important and what can be left out. It leaves a manageable chunk of information for you to revise and test yourself on!
