Tips and tricks for revision

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Here are some quick ideas to help you with GCSE and A Level revision:

Make a timetable that works for you – it may look weird to anyone else but if you really like to work at 6 am ( joke)

go for it!

Be really tidy – get new folders, dividers, blank revision cards on a ring ( WH Smith), boxes of index cards and start afresh with your revision notes

Choose rewards – what will you do when you have finished 3 hours of English revision to chill?

Take regular breaks – set your phone to remind you that the break is OVER and get back to work – this is the single most important tip – if you do this regularly you will have the best chance of passing !

None of this is new – the trick is to APPLY it all -easier said than done.

SUPPORT – get Susan to keep you on track every week with phone calls, texts and emails

Parents – they are your allies – how do you want them to help you ? They just want to know exactly what YOU want from them

Buddies – if you want , buddy study is very effective. I can set you and a buddy up with a revision plan and some coaching to get you started with joint revision – you get twice the benefit in half the time .

Get organised now and pass your exams with ease

"I wanted to thank you in writing for all the hard work you put into helping my son with his GCSE exams. I am delighted to report that he passed all 9 exams with good grades. Moreover, his best friend who also had coaching with you, went beyond all expectations in achieving similar results. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone I know, who have children looking for that little bit extra help to seethem through their exams."
