Importance of Revision

Why plan? Why not cram?

Smaller portions perhaps?? There is more work in Year 10 than in Year 7 -10. This means more information for you to remember. “Crash-studying” is ineffective. You cannot try to “feed it” to yourself all at once. You must study in manageable amounts. THINK: What is a manageable amount of work to cover in one sitting? What is a reasonable amount of time to spend in one sitting?

Planning to SLEEP Research has found… No matter how much you study each day, IF you SACRIFICE SLEEP, you will find it DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND your lessons the next day AND will be more likely to HAVE TROUBLE with a test or assignment the next day. IT’S NOT WORTH IT!!! PLAN your SLEEP.

But how much sleep do I need? 15 and 16 year olds require 8-10 hours sleep each night!! Only 15% of you get this much!! That means… if you need to get up at 7am for school, you should be asleep by 11pm, at the latest. Are you getting enough sleep??? Does your phone distract you when you go to bed? How could you minimise this, so you get enough sleep?

Knowing me… It’s all about ME! Questionnaire
