REVISION TIPS

   

To support you in your examination preparation we've put together some tips which may help you during your revision.

 

Revision is more than just remembering facts; it's about learning how to answer the questions when you're sitting the  exam. To support you we've put together some tips which may help you.

 

Preparation

Revising is crucial to any exam; however with busy lives it will be difficult to fit revision in around your work. The following tips are useful pointers when making initial exam preparations.

  • Set a timetable; allocate certain subjects to certain times, it will help you spread your revision and prevent you spending too much time on one subject over another.
  • Try to revise in an environment that you find suitable. This will not always be possible, especially if you are studying onboard. Try and enlist your colleagues support to make the environment as conducive as possible.
  • Take regular breaks, this will help you to absorb what you have revised and be fresh for the next topic.
  • Remain in close contact with your tutor and let them know if you have any questions or if you need advice.
  • Practice using old exam papers – if you would like to do this, please contact the Education Manager who may be able to assist.
  • Gain a broad understanding of all the topics – if you limit the topics you study then you may limit your options during the exam.

Most awarding bodies will have a revision text which will guide you through the subject and give you tasks to complete in preparation for your exam. As a library service we can provide any texts that you want to use as a study aid. Contact the Education Manager for information.

 

Techniques

Write summary notes that you can carry with you and refresh your memory when you have a moment

  • Memorise key words for each topic - these may “trigger” other ideas.
     
  • Get a friend to ask you questions, this will help you feel more confident in your answers and test your understanding.
