Skills Look back at examples of classwork Check with teacher Practice papers

Preparation Don’t just practise until you get it right. Practise until you can’t get it wrong.

Where to revise

When to revise Start early before your brain gets tired. Weekend, mornings in the half term break After school: quick break and then start Lesson and homework opportunities During exam week

Get your parents involved Ask for help with finding suitable times / days to study Ask for help with revision kit: index cards, highlighters, folders Ask them to test you and show you they are proud when you work hard!

When revising… Break the session into manageable chunks with a short planned break between them and a small treat at the end.

Look for Active revision to suit you...

Supporting revision 1. Place: comfortable but without distractions. 2. Time: when brain isn’t too tired. 3. Duration: 25 minute slots, maximum of 4 slots in a row. 4. Precise task: at the end of this, I will know ‘avoir’. 5. Monitor: ask what’s being done & be shown the final result. 6. Reward: hard work = treat.

Final preparations Just before the exams: use the revision notes / aids you have created as a quick recap tool. Most pupils find the day before the exam is the best time for final preparations.

Don’t panic

After examinations Be positive - mistakes show the areas for improvement. Ask yourself what you did well. Do you know how to make it better next time? If not, ask your teacher for targets. Give yourself a rest! Listen carefully to feedback from your teachers.
