Where to Start What is a revision timetable

Where to Start? • What is a revision timetable? • Why do I need one? • How do I make one?

Firstly… Work out when you need to start your revision and how many weeks you need to revise for. Four weeks: • W/c Monday 7 th Dec • W/c Monday 14 th Dec • W/c Monday 28 th Dec • W/c Monday 4 th Jan Notice that you have Christmas week off!

Mon 7. 12. 19 Tues 8. 12. 19 Weds 9. 12. 19 Thurs 10. 12. 19 Fri 11. 12. 19 Sat 12. 19 Sun 13. 12. 19

Secondly… Decide on your day off each week. Most people choose Saturday as their day off, but you can change this depending on what suits you best. Remember this can be flexible each week depending on your plans, but you should be revising for six out of seven days.

Mon 7. 12. 19 Tues 8. 12. 19 Weds 9. 12. 19 Thurs 10. 12. 19 Fri 11. 12. 19 Sat 12. 19 Sun 13. 12. 19

Thirdly… Plot which subject you are going to revise in each slot. Look at how much you have to revise for each subject as a guide for how many times a week you need to schedule it for. English x 2 Maths Science French Geography History x 2 Art Drama RE x 2

Interleaving Instead of focussing on one topic per revision session, test your memory by using interleaving in one session a week per subject. Interleaving is where you mix up questions from different topics to strengthen the pathways in your memory by making it work harder to move between information.
