Strategy 2:
Flash Cards
You could even power

remember it is what
they say that is
important not the

them.

Yo listen up y’all I’m Attila the Hun
And I wanted to be ruler of everyone
My barbarian hordes swept across the plains
In my two most aggressive military campaigns
I got the Franks and the Vandals involved with
my schemes
But got beaten by the Romans just outside
Orleans
But it wasn’t them alone that saw me off
‘Cos they had the assistance of the Visigoths…

Whatever helps you
to remember. Use the
internet, SAM
Learning, BBC
Bitesize, Posters,
Post-Its, Audio
recordings on your
MP3 Player, Q&A with
friend or family,
answering past
papers (available on
the net), flash cards,
rhymes, mnemonics,
repetition,
How?
Guess when…….
NOW!
When?
So do I wait until the
last two weeks and
then do 24 hours a
day on each of my
subjects. With no
sleep!
Not a good plan!
So, start earlier, produce a plan and stick to it.
Two hours a week night and four hours on Saturday
and Sunday, that gives 18 hours revision a week.
Excellent but it needs to be divided up.
You also need time for you. Exercise, social time & a
good diet are all important.
When?
How much?
How long is a piece of
string?
It is widely accepted
that students who
spend 30 hours per
subject on their
revision will have a
significantly higher
chance of exam
success.

A Revision Plan eh?
Crazy idea!
Within each subject
you then need to
focus on a topic. Eg
Maths: Fractions
Do 25 minutes then
take 5 minute break.
Walk, grab a drink,
talk to someone.
Where to start?
Write down your subjects.
Divide each one up into small topics.
Write them into your revision plan.
Start revising and remember to reward yourself, take
breaks, get exercise, eat well, sleep well, de-stress,
drink plenty of water, communicate to people.
As long as you have given you best efforts,
no-one can ask for more. The result will be
what you deserve.
