The academic and sporting mindset

Think of the parallels between sporting events and assessments

SLIDE 5

The links between academic and sporting success

  • Can be intense
  • Lot of hard work demonstrated in a one-off event
  • Culmination of months, if not years of hard work and

preparation

  • Success defined sometimes by narrow margins
  • Perhaps a little bit of luck on the day

General points for all subjects

  • Do it little and often, in short bursts. 15-30 minutes is best, then a break.
  • Make sure you are not hungry or thirsty
  • Colour and images really help
  • Funny and silly things stick in your memory!
  • Mnemonics are a great way to remember lists
  • Involve your family, and stick things up at home as a visual reminder
  • Remember that revision itself is a skill and the more you practise it,

the better you will get

What do I need to do to get ready?

  • 1. Find out what you need to revise, check you have the information or

books needed

  • 2. Revise. This means to look at, or consider again, work done previously to

improve your knowledge of a subject, to prepare for an examination.

  • 3. Practise. This gives you more confidence. It might involve asking someone

to test you, or trying practice papers or tests
