• Try and find a quiet space.

• Organise your resources: flash cards, study guides, past papers.
• Make yourself a timetable  - what you will revise and when.
• Build in breaks for food / drink / fresh air.

Reseach suggests you have to learn things four times to really remember it.

Information slips out of our memory over time if we don’t use it or revisit it.

When you revise new information you are helping your brain to retain it.

WE REMEMBER…

• 10% of what we read

• 20% of what we hear

• 30% of what we see

• 50% of what we see and hear

• 70% of what we discuss with others

• 80% of what we personally experience

• 95% or what we teach others

Marginal Gains is often used to describe how professional athletes make small changes to improve their performance. For example, a champion cyclist might wear a special helmet that offers less wind resistance, and therefore makes them go a tiny bit faster.

What are marginal gains in exam revision? What small changes can your child make to be more successful? 

• Speak to teachers about specific revision topics
• Good lighting in the room
• Removing distractions: phone etc. 
• Prioritise workload
• Avoid burning out - switch off after your scheduled time
• A good nights sleep
• Staying hydrated and eating a healthy diet
• Following a revision timetable
• Plan in time to relax

1. Revision cards help information to be processed. Reading and highlighting is not enough on its own. 
2. Students need to read the information and teach it to someone else they will remember and understand it then. 
3. Make mind maps and pictures to help students to remember key information. 
4. Make up silly rhymes or mnemonics and even songs; break things down. For example, in English and History we use PEARMS to describe.
5. Music and television needs to be off. Phones needs to be away – the distraction is too tempting.
6. Students need to have a dedicated quiet place. 
7. Create a timetable each week with your child.
8. Use the websites suggested for each subject and the Google Classrooms where you can access model and practice papers.
9. Get your child to complete practice papers/questions each week. Underline key words and help them to decode the question.
10. Use the revision guides/easy guides given to students – test them on sections. Get them to highlight and speak to you about what they have read.

1. Mind-maps
2. Use post-its of keywords
3. Create flash Cards
4. Listen to revision podcasts
5. Ask family and friends to test you
6. Highlight key information on worksheets
7. Chants/Raps
8. Exam questions and mark scheme
9. Write your own questions
10. Make mnemonics to help you remember processes
