A quick guide to exam revision for students

Preparing to revise is a key part of the exam revision process. It is important for students to have clear ideas about the best ways to revise, as well as overall aims and objectives, before embarking on actual revision.

Establish the overarching 'big picture' about the revision

Figure out what it is you aim to achieve by revising and then set about breaking down learning into smaller, bite-sized pieces.

Education experts at Justin Craig recommend ensuring there is plenty of variety within revision sessions, whether studying for GCSEs or A-levels. Highlighter pens, diagrams, pictures and mind-mapping all assist learning and memory.

Preparing the student for exam revision

Working from subject knowledge that you already understand and have memorised is a sound base to start revising from, it is also helpful to study new information and knowledge to stimulate the mind and thinking processes, preventing tiredness or boredom taking a hold.

Adopt a positive attitude to revision

Focusing on what you already know and what you have achieved learning-wise is just as important as understanding what still needs to be done for successful revision.

Relaxation can help and students should make sure they get the right amount of sleep and exercise during revision time. Combine this with a diet of healthy fruit and vegetables and drinking plain old tap water throughout study days will go a long way to ensuring the student mind, as well as the body, is in as good a shape as possible during exam preparations.
