What does the word ‘Revise’ actually mean?

"to look at again," from Latin revisere "look at again, visit again, look back on,“ from re- "again" + videre "to see" Meaning "to look over again with intent to improve or amend"

Why is it ineffective to stop after you have seen it again?

How many can you now remember?

In an exam situation, this is what you will rely on to answer any question.

How many can you now remember?

• 1. In groups of 3 or 4, write down as many methods as you can

which could be used for revision on the A3 sheet on your table

• 2. Leave on your table and go round to see if other groups have

thought of something different

• 3. Add these to your sheet
• 4. Circle / highlight the methods that YOU YOURSELF have used

Technique Description

Utility

High/Med/ Low

Practice Testing Self Testing or taking practice tests.(Application) Long Term Revision (Distributed practice) Implementing a schedule that spreads out activities and revision over time. Asking ‘why’ Generating an explanation of why something ‘is’. Self Explanation Explaining how new information is related to known information, or explaining steps taken to solve a problem. Interleaved Practice (varying study topics) Mixing different types of materials or problems during one study session. Summarising Writing a brief statement or account of the main points of revision texts. Mental Images Attempting to mentally form images of something whilst listening Key Word Mnumonic Using keywords and mental imagery to associate key words or concepts. ReReading Restudying text material again after initial reading Highlighting / Underlining Marking potentially important portions of revision materials while reading.

Cramming the night before doesn’t work. You will need to review your revision then apply that knowledge

There is no set technique…..you have to find the

• ne that works for you.

Keywords -Write down 5 words from this unit. Write out the definition and then re- write in your own words Cue / Flash Cards /Taboo -Use topic/ specification headings .Use bullet points/ hi

• lighters. Consider colour and size of cards. Include examples and key terms

5, 5, 1. Reduce topics into 5 sentences. Then reduce down to 5 words. Then 1 word. Mind Maps- Use Specification for main branches. Use colour/ images/ symbols. Include examples and key words Housekeeping – TRIO - respond to any comment marking. Complete any unfinished work. Re-do any pieces you can improve

You will need the subject specification/ key word list

REVIEW:

This is where you start to move memory to longer term places, check how efficient your revision is. Recall what you have learnt: - memorise information sufficiently - recall under exam conditions (20 mins)

• Review your revision material and write out questions regarding the key points/ knowledge

i.e. Then turn info over and see if you can answer.

• Play ‘revision’ games e.g. scattagory
• Write a test - and a mark scheme on a topic – using the revision material / specification

and then test yourself.

• Ask someone to quiz you
• Create a Wordle on a topic and get someone to test how many words you remember
• Play Taboo usng your flash cards —focus on key words / ideas

You will need your revision material – no more writing needed at this stage.

APPLY: Y:

This is profound bit and can make sure that memory is moved to long term. Restructure your knowledge in response to a particular question: - know what the examiners require from you - shaping it into the form asked for by the exam (20 mins)

A top tip for this stage is to ensure that you talk through with a partner – REVIEW your plan

• 3 pens technique – answer exam question in black. Improve by using

revision in blue pen. Read mark scheme, improve in green pen

• Use your taboo cards to respond to an exam question
• Exam papers - timed response
• Annotated mini plans on past papers

PPE – Key In Information

• November 12th –November 22nd –Access Arrangements
• In exam venues (normally Main Hall, Gym, s7)
• When you get your timetable, transfer the information into your planner/ take a picture of it on

your phone

• Normal lessons when not in Exams
• Order your revision guides!

What do you know about your PPE in in dif ifferent su subje jects?

Why are the Pre Public Exams important?

PPE are vital for practice; just as actors need a stage rehearsal before the real performance, so you need practice under the conditions that you’re going to experience next summer. PPE test your knowledge and let you and your teachers know which topics are your strongest and your weakest. Revision based on giving more time to your weakest areas It will help you in the real exams. Your GCSE exams might seem a long way away, but if you revise thoroughly now, you will be amazed at how quickly and easily you will remember things when you revise a second time. For subjects that are tiered, this will act as a ‘test run’ – you will not be able to enter for the Higher Tier in the summer unless you prove you can perform well in the PPE.

PPE Preparation: you need to be able to answer all these questions for every subject you are taking – test yourself and a partner. How many exam papers will you get for each subject? How long will each paper last? Do you have to do all of the questions, or is there a choice? Do you know which topics you could be tested on in each subject? How many minutes do you get per mark? Have you seen examples of the type of questions you will get? Do the questions require short answers, or longer paragraphs? Have you seen a copy of the syllabus for each subject you are taking? Is your exam split between higher and foundation, and which are you doing?
