Complete Exam Revision Kit 2013

Action Plan
It is very important that you finish this session with a clear sense of purpose about what you
need to do next to prepare yourself for the few months ahead. You now need to make a list of
some of the things that you are resolved you are going to do to help you do well. Only you
know what you really need to do there are lots of ideas on the PowerPoint but you need to
come up with your own list.
Use the chart below to set yourself a target, how you are going to achieve it, when youre going
to achieve it by and who, if anyone, can help you.
Target How Im going to achieve it When by? Who can

help me?

Study Skills Revision and Exam Preparation
Remember: Its never too late the moment you stop trying is
when they say put your pens down on the last paper
Getting prepared to revise:
You cant revise unless all your notes are in the right order and tidy.
Your main priority at this stage (3 months beforehand) is to be doing this.
Your revision really needs to step up about 8 weeks before your first exam. At
At the moment its crucial to be spending time putting all your notes in the
right order and making sure they are clear to revise from. If theyre not right,
check with your teacher to see what you are missing.
You must have a place where you can revise. It must be quiet with no TV on.
Its OK to have QUIET music on in the background (but not from a radio where
the voices will distract you between songs) but if it begins to distract you switch
it off. Music directly into your ears through headphones is fine for some work,
but not for revision.
People who work well are best in a quiet room on their own. It needs to be well
lit and you need to be warm. You need a desk or table with a clear space and
your files and books nearby. It needs to be a tidy area. If you get distracted
easily then work downstairs where parents can see if you are waking!
Switch your mobile off when you revise and dont be tempted to use it or check
it when working. If necessary, leave it in another room. If youre using the
computer, dont have chat lines in use at the same time!
If you have no suitable place to work at home then you should see Ms
Hargadon or your Year Co-ordinator and we will arrange for you to work in
school up until 6.00 each night. Dont forget that theres a late bus on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights and these coincide with many
revision clubs. You can also arrange to come in to work in the holidays.
You should also be making good use of all the revision clubs taking
place at lunch-times. You will receive a regular up to date list of all
these.
Negotiate with your parents what work they expect you to do in the home for
the next few months. Explain to them when your best time for working is and
ask if you can avoid doing work at those times. You might be able to offer to
help in other ways which would benefit you e.g. taking the dog out each
evening might give you a breather for 20 minutes and help the family; or if
youre desperate to watch a programme on TV and youve got a TV in the
kitchen you could offer to help wash up when its on and then start your work
again as soon as its finished.
Farlingaye High School Page 1

Use the subject sheets to work out which topics need the most revision. You
must aim to cover every topic at least three times in the two months leading up
to the exams. This will get each topic into your long term memory. You must
concentrate first on those topics you find the most difficult. It is these topics
that you should be working on at the present time going over them and
making clear new notes ready to start your revision.
Use the revision plans to plan your week ahead. Start off by putting in the
things that you have to do such as having your tea, washing up, Saturday job
etc. You need to be doing a MINIMUM of two and half hours each night from
Monday to Friday and a further six hours at the weekend. This means that if
you chose to go out on Friday night and did no work, then you might try to do
three hours on Thursday and an extra two hours on Saturday. You should give
yourself some time to do what you want to do. You should not go out for more
than 2 nights a week and you need to watch any paid employment or sporting
commitments that you have a maximum of one day of those is the most that
people can usually manage and succeed in their exams.
Watch out for the times when you might normally do no work, and yet you
could be fitting in quite a bit. For example, when you get in from school
have a quick cup of tea, and then at 4.30 sit down and do half an hour or an
hour before you have your tea. If youre going out in an evening, do half an
hours work before you go, or go later so that you get some work done first.
Although two and a half hours look a lot, you can fit it in quite easily.
e.g. 4.15 get home, cup of tea

4.30 one hours work
5.30 watch TV
6.00 tea and clear away
6.30 one hours work
7.30 break to go on the computer, phone friends, etc.
8.00 30 mins work
By 8.30 youve done the required time and youve still got a lot of the
evening left to spend how you want to.
In March and April you will still have homework and coursework to do. These
must go on to the weekly planner first. You should then fill it up to the correct
time with revision. Gradually you will find that all your weeks can be filled with
revision as your teachers complete the syllabus.

How to revise:
Stick to your revision time-table. If you go wrong you must allocate the time
later on in the week.
Work in 30 minute slots per subject. If you want to do an hour on a subject,

then do more than one topic.
Set yourself ambitious and realistic targets e.g. I will learn 2 sides
of notes in the next 30 minutes. Dont waste your time.
Give yourself treats e.g. when Ive learnt this I can have a mars bar! or go and
have my half hour in front of the TV, or check my text messages.
Learn from your detailed notes. Be very careful of breaking down your notes
on to little cards. When you do that you take away the detail that you need to
know. Its OK to do it to help you focus on the main points, but you really do
need the detail. Once youve learnt the main points from the cards, dont forget
to go back to the detailed notes so you know plenty of detailed information. An
alternative way is to use highlighter pens to focus on the key words amongst all
the detail that youve got.
A very thorough way to remember your notes is to learn them off

by heart. It may seem utterly tedious but it means you will
remember a lot in the exam. To learn things off by heart read
one paragraph at a time twice. Then turn your book over and try
to repeat it out loud; look and check if you missed anything out,
and do it again until youve learnt and so on. Test yourself in
different ways you could write it out though that is time
consuming, ask your parent to test you with one word answers or
recall it to them (give them advance warning that you will need
their help); even better is to get a friend who is doing the same
course to test you as that will help them as well!
You will find that once you have learnt it once that way, the second and third
time are easier and easier. When you have done this you should go through
them again the next day, a week later and a month later.
When you learn things off by heart use all the memory pictures and mnemonics
that weve taught you.
One of the best ways of learning is to teach the topic to someone else either
do this with a friend or imagine youre teaching a class!
Whatever you do dont just read and re-read your notes or a book; you will take
nothing in, or at least not so that you remember it.
Have help notes stuck all over your bedroom walls e.g. verbs you get
stuck with, key words to remember in a subject, formulas for Maths etc.
Make little cards with a question on one side and the answer on the back
shuffle them and test yourself or get someone else to test you.
Use little phrases to help you e.g. say you had to remember the 5 things all
Muslims have to do:-
Fast at Ramadan
Believe in Allah
Pay Money to the poor
Pray 5 times a day
Go on Hajj
then I would remember it by thinking RAMP with a H and it would give me
a clue to help me remember the 5 things. Or with spellings e.g. stationary
goes with car and stationery goes with pen so stationary is the one when
you mean somethings not moving, and stationery is the one that you use to
write on.
Pneumonics are very helpful e.g. My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up
Naming Planets (Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune, Pluto).
Draw mind maps of topics you find difficult to remember. To draw a mind map
you should:-
~ Put the title in the middle.

~ Work out what each branch will be about.
~ Highlight all the key ideas and key words youve got
to get on to the mind map.
~ Group the key words into the different sections which will be the
branches.
~ Do each branch in a different colour. Write the title on each branch.
~ Draw pictures to help you.
~ Dont miss out any key ideas.
~ When you go through it, read it out loud as a series of questions and
answers in a rhythm.
~ Dont forget that the Mind Manager and Inspiration computer programs
are installed in several of the ICT rooms.
Weve also done lots of thinking maps at school try to use those as well as
bubble maps, double bubble maps and other techniques.
Use websites to help you revise. Use them in the same way as
other techniques 30 minutes at a time. Use the enclosed list for
useful sites. Do not get distracted on to other web sites!
Use DVDs to help you revise see what weve got in the library. Talking
books of English Literature texts are very helpful as are plays and films.

Once youve learnt a range of topics, you need to start doing some practice
questions. You need to ask your teacher for sample questions and old exam
papers. The best thing to do with this is to decide on a topic that you have
learnt, ask for a question; do it under timed conditions and then ask your
teacher if s/he will mark it. As you learn more topics, try to do it for longer
periods e.g. 3 questions in one and a half hours as that will give you the time
practice that you need. In May you should be aiming to do whole papers in
your study leave time.
Make sure you know exactly the layout of each exam paper i.e. which
topics will you need to learn for it, how long will it last and what choice
will you have. Make sure you have seen the layout of the question
paper see if there are any topics that always come up and so its
evident you must know them well.
There are more tips on different ways to revise in the next section.

Use your Learning Style to help you Revise
In Year 10 we helped you decide what style of learner you were: You could be
An auditory learner a listener
A visual learner a looker
A kinaesthetic learner a doer
Different revision techniques will help difficult learning styles remember you will
probably be a mixture of styles!
Listeners:
Repeat things to yourself out loud;

Record your notes on dictaphones or tape and play them back repeatedly;
Use talking books for your English texts;
Use mnemonics;
Create raps, rhymes and chants set some to music;
Teach the topic out loud to an imaginary classroom!
Close your eyes when really concentrating so that you can focus on
listening.
Use ICT programmes and podcasts that speak the information to you.
Lookers:
Draw pictures and diagrams to remember key ideas;

Draw and revise from mind maps and thinking maps use inspiration or
mind manager;
Colour code sections of your work;
Use different colour highlighter pens to focus on key points;
Watch DVDs of topics youre studying, especially plays and films of English
texts;
Use post it notes and memory cards stick them all over the place or play
test yourself games with them;
Use the fold out diagrams/lists techniques that we do.
Use brightly coloured ICT programmes.
Doers:
Highlight key ideas in coloured highlights;

Use revision websites;
Write key points of topics, mix them up and then go back later and put them
in the right order;
Walk up and down when youre learning;
Draw and revise from mind maps and thinking maps use inspiration or
mind manager.
Make up games with your notes e.g. leaving gaps to fill in.

The approach to the exams:
As the last week or so approaches check your revision time-table and that you
are going to cover all the topics which you need to. Think particularly carefully
about the days before the exams. You should spend the evening before an
exam just going over the things for that exam, but you need to think ahead if
you have several exams clustered together. So think really carefully about
what you are doing when.
Check the exact date and time of all your exams. Have them written up on the
time charts in your bedroom. Go through them with a friend who is doing the
same exams. Make sure you know exactly what time you have got to be there.
If youre not in the exam room, you cant pass!
Buy all the right equipment. You must have black pens (not gel pens), 3
pencils, crayons, a set of highlighters, a 30cm ruler, rubber, sharpener and
calculator. Practice writing with the pen you are going to use you need to be
able to write very quickly and yet neatly with it. Some people are faster with a
biro than an ink pen. Make sure its all in a clear pencil case.
Cancel paid employment if you can (give advance notice obviously many
employers will be very sympathetic); only go out if its really worth it.
Stick to your revision time-table and keep at it do not give up; you have very
few weeks left to keep working so hard and it will all soon be over. If you start
getting upset, then have a quick break and go back to it. Use the staff and
your parents if you have any problems at this time. Try not to burden your
friends if they are doing exams as well its not fair on them. Your teachers
are very used to supporting students who are worrying about exams so use us
we like to feel we can be of help to you.
What to do in the exams

Be there in plenty of time with the right equipment for
that exam. Dont rely on a bus service that is frequently late. Make sure you
know exactly which room you have to go to.
Do not take a mobile phone in. You could be disqualified if you do so.
Remember the Sports Hall can be cold, even if its hot outside have your
school jumper with you. You need to be wearing the correct uniform.
Outside the exam room dont chatter nervously, and especially not
about matters which are irrelevant, stand quietly and just think carefully
about the topics that you have revised.
Read the front of the paper carefully make sure you follow the instructions
absolutely correctly.

For most exams, read the whole paper through before you attempt to answer
anything. This will reassure you that there are questions there that you can do!
Then go back through it, reading it again, and ticking off the questions that you
can do. Double tick the questions that you think you can do well. Then start
on the ones you can do best, making sure you number them clearly and that
you follow the instructions on the front page.
If you make a mistake and need to re-do a question, then re-do it, and then
cross out the one you did wrong.
WATCH THE CLOCK work out how much time you have got for
each question and stick to it. If you start getting behind badly, then
either cut your answer right down, or leave a gap and come back to it if
you get time and move on to the next question. If youre well ahead on
time it might mean that you are not putting in as much detail as you can.
Use the mark scheme. It is there to help you. If a question only has one mark
then there is no point in writing masses. Alternatively if it has 10 marks you
wont get very far if you only write one sentence or only include one or two
relevant points.
Remember 5% of your marks in many exams are for how well you spell and
use the correct grammar and punctuation. Make sure you get these marks.
It doesnt matter if you show your planning. You can do that in pencil and then
put a line through it if you finish the question. If you dont finish it then the
examiner may well look at the plan to see how you would have finished. In the
same way you should show your working out in exams like maths as that can
often gain you marks even if you dont get the final answer right.
Remember the examiner is on your side. She or he wants to give you marks if
at all possible, but you have to earn them.
Ignore everybody else around you. The only thing you should look at is the
clock. If someone next to you is ill, then ignore them there are plenty of staff
in the room for that very reason who will deal with any problems.
If you finish early go back and check again and again and again and again.
You would be amazed at how many mistakes people can spot at the end of an
exam if they check it carefully.
Once youve handed the paper in, thats it! You cant change anything. So
even if youre upset that it went badly youve got to grit your teeth and get on
with your revision for the next one. Ignore everyone else whos telling you how
well it went for them theyre not you, theyre not worth you bothering about
and they probably wont have done as well as you anyway!
Make sure you know what to do if you are ill.

Tips for Effective Revision
Different people learn things best in different ways. Here is a list of different
revision ideas which may help you. You might want to use one method for one
subject and a different method for another subject.
1. Make revision notes

Turn your lesson notes into well spaced, numbered and headed notes.
Try to number things wherever you can e.g. there are 5 things
which all Muslims must do, and then list them one per line.
Use headings and sub headings so that things stand out.
Underline or highlight key words, interesting points or quotations.
You could use main point cards to help test yourself by listing key ideas
or patterns.
2. Learning by heart
Some things have to be learnt off by heart e.g. definitions, scientific
laws, quotations, diagrams, maths formulae. For other notes it can be
really helpful if you learn them as well as possible.
To learn things off by heart read them through twice, preferably
speaking out loud, turn them over and try to repeat it, turn it back to
check how you did and then do it again and again until your word
perfect. Go on to the next sentence, but then go back to the beginning
again to check you can remember all of it as you go along. For
diagrams, visualise them and then practice drawing them.
Try to persuade someone to test and re-test you on what you have
learnt. Often its a really good idea to test each other as it helps the
person testing to learn it as well!
3. Word games
Try to make up word games to help you. A good example of this was
the Good Doctors Understand Very III Men Require Treatment which
we all worked out for the electromagnetic spectrum. Some of these your
teacher will suggest to you, others will become your own little way of
remembering things.
4. Mind maps see the instructions earlier in the booklet and use the Mind
Manager computer program.
5. Using Pictures and Patterns to jog your memory

Diagrams and thinking maps often help you to remember the key points.
There are different types of diagrams:
a) TREE CHARTS are things that show you what order things happen
in. For example, a family tree is a tree chart. You can also use it to
show other things which happen in order.
b) A FLOW CHART shows you what happened next and why and so it
helps to jog your memory about the next stage.
For example this is a flow chart which summarises how global
warming is caused. This wouldnt be enough detail for you to answer
a question, but it would show you the key points to remember.
FOSSIL FUELS ARE BURNED
causing
CO2 EMISSIONS
causing
BLANKET OF CO2 AROUND THE EARTH
causing
GLOBAL WARMING
Pictures by the side help with remembering the key points.
c) Often there are two sides to an issue and drawing two BOXES side
by side can be helpful. This may particularly apply when you are asked
about advantages and disadvantages. In this case an issue in Business
Studies concerns the advantages and disadvantages of using a private
employment agency to appoint new people in a business.
Using an employment agency to make appointments

Advantages Disadvantages
1. Avoids time on advertising and 1. Its an expensive option.
long listing
2. You wont get people who are
2. You get direct access to people glancing through the paper on
with the right specialist skills the off chance
3. Someone else does a lot of the 3. Its only worth it for very
sorting process specialist jobs.
4. You know the people will be well

qualified

d) For similarities and differences it can be useful to draw a DOUBLE BUBBLE MAP
to help you revise. This one shows the similarities and differences between a vein
or an artery. Ive used diagrams to help clue your memory.
Thick Low
walls Tubular pressure
No Cant constrict
Endothelium
valves blood to heart
Pocket
Can constrict valves
blood from Transports
heart blood
High
pressure Twin wall
BLOOD
e) INFORMATION DIAGRAMS or FLOW THINKING MAPS can also be used to

explain something and therefore help you remember it. This is often the case with
geographical features or science experiments. An example would be a cause and
effect diagram.
Put your statement in the middle, causes on the left and effects on the right. Again,
little diagrams really help.
CAUSES EFFECTS
Versailles Treaty left Germany He was able to impose a

in a very weak position. dictatorship.
Hitler had middle class Initially Hitler got support.

Inflation had caused problems RISE TO Some benefits helped people
like new cars, jobs,

Massive unemployment in
1930 turned people against the Hitler rebuilt up German army,
government. ignored Versailles Treaty and
eventually it led to WW2.
Hitler forced people to support
his viewpoint. Ultimately, 6 million Jews and
others died.
g) SPIDER DIAGRAMS OR BUBBLE MAPS can often help as a
starting point for you to see how things are linked together. This one
shows how all the different aspects of Marriage can be related
together. This is not quite the same as a mind map its better as a
starting point than having all your notes on it.

6. Practice Past Papers

Its a really good idea to get hold of old past questions and practice them.
This can be really useful as it gives you an idea of the layout of the
questions and the style of the questions. It helps you to get used to the
idea of the mark allocation and if you do longer questions its useful as it
shows you what you can achieve in the time you are given. In fact, its a
really good idea to give yourself two full questions to do say over one hour
(assuming that in the exam you are allowed 30 minutes per question). That
way you begin to get used to working under pressure of time.
However, it is no good doing practice questions until you are ready to do so

and have revised thoroughly. Otherwise it can just put you off! The best
way of doing them is to ask your teacher for a question and put it in a
sealed envelope. Then revise the topic(s) and then when you are ready do
the question. Your teachers will be happy to advise you on this and to look
at any work that you do.
