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 self-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.
Seneca Learning
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.
