Dear Parents,
The summer is upon us, and students throughout the school have started preparing for their exams. For some of our younger students this will be the first time they sit exams under formal controlled conditions. For our older students the exams are getting more and more important.
It can be a stressful time for everyone, and one of the biggest causes of worry for our students is being unable to remember information, or not knowing how best to revise. This week we want to share with you five strategies which will help our students make revision fun and memorable, paving the way to exam success. The following information is designed for students. Please encourage your child(ren) to read it and try some of the ideas.
Revision Cards
Creating revision cards is a great way to break down large amounts of information into smaller chunks.
Mind Palace
Associating information with different locations in a familiar place, like your home, can really help you remember it when you’re in an exam.
Brain Hurricane
Putting all your knowledge down in a big diagram can help you make links between different things. More links = more memories.
Mark Scheme Challenge
It’s really helpful to understand exactly how exams are marked. If you understand what the mark scheme wants, you’ll get better marks.
Picture This
Sometimes, representing ideas as pictures makes them stick in your memory much more easily.
Hopefully these ideas will help you revise, and make it loads more fun. If you’re finding revision hard just remember, your teachers have loads of experience helping students revise, and they even had to revise for their own exams once! Go and ask them if you need any help, don’t leave it until it’s too late!
Happy revising.
