 Preparing for exams
Throughout your time at school onto further study and university you will have to prepare for exams.
Learning the skills needed to be organised and how to revise effectively will help you be successful and
fulfil your potential. Below are some tips to get you started:
 Start early, revising over a longer time instead of cramming last minute gives your brain the best
chance of remembering all you need it to.
 Plan your time using a revision planner. This will help you fit in your revision and allow for some
free time to.
 Make you sure have lists of what you need to revise for each subject.
 Use the techniques in this booklet to revise. Revision needs to be active simply reading through
will not work. Learn good study habits now.
 Find a quiet space to work, switch off distractions such as your phone or the TV. It’s better to
work uninterrupted for an hour than all evening not concentrating.

Revision Planners
Example Revision Planner

 Once you have a list of topics to revise divide your time up between them.
 Be realistic and give yourself free time and breaks.
 Once you’ve made your plan stick to it.
 Remember to add a bit of time to test yourself on the bits you’ve already revised to help you
remember.
 The earlier you start revising the easier it will be as you can space it out more.

Revision Planners
 Use the planners below to organise your time. Divide you revision time between
subjects and plan in your free time as well. There are ones for during school weeks,
half term and weekends. Aim to revise for 1-2hr each night on the run up to exams.

REVISION MAPS
Get yourself a piece of A3 or A4 paper. Using your class notes, re-write the most
relevant information Use brainstorms, tables and information trees to organise your
maps. When you have finished them stick them all around your bedroom etc.
KEY TIPS.
Use lots of colour and add diagrams and sketches. These will help you remember
better than just plain text.
How We Learn
The pyramid below shows us how researchers think we learn. From it we can see that
over time we only remember about 5% of what is just told to us and only 10% of what
we read. When learning becomes more active we get better results. If we discuss and
talk about what we are learning it goes up to 50%. Once we have learnt something
well enough to teach someone else about it we reach 90%. This shows us that revision
needs to be active and discussing, testing and teaching someone else what you’ve learnt
will help you remember more.
REVISION CARDS

Get yourself some pocket sized pieces of card. Using your mind maps, revision books or your
class notes, summarise the main points. Use your cards for definitions, key words and lists or
groups of information When you have finished them get a parent or friend to test you – to see
how much information you can remember?

KEY TIPS: Use a highlighter pen and keep the information brief – no more than 5 points per
card

Once you have made a set of cards test yourself every few days to help you learn the
information.
How to beat the ‘forgetting Curve’

What the graph below shows us is that when we learn something new, after 3 days, we
are lucky if we can remember 60% of what we learnt. To remember more if we review
the information on the second day by the day after we will know 80% instead of 60% -
handy for an exam! If we’d started working sooner and reviewed again after 6 days our
memories then go up to around 90%. Repetition is easy enough – the more frequently
we repeat something, the more likely it is to stick. For this reason, one suggestion given
to improve memory retention when revising is to review and test yourself
regularly. Research has shown that reviewing at regular intervals does increase how
much we can remember and that over time, less frequent reviews are needed.

Example: Day 1 make revision cards. Day 2 spend 10 minutes reviewing or testing
yourself on them. Day 3 do another quick review /test. Day 6 review & Test again.
Then review weekly until your exam.

Year 10 – Maths

Each year 10 student has been assigned Mathswatch revision homework which covers all
content learnt this year. It is important that your child completes the homework to a high
standard and watches the linked videos when they need support.

If your child is having any problems gaining access to Mathswatch they must speak to their
teacher.

The topics that will be assessed are listed below, along with the video clip number on
Mathswatch to aid in revision at home.
