Make a plan! write out a revision timetable that you can stick to

Find somewhere quiet, Not in front of the TV! Make sure its well lit.

Be nice to your brain! It becomes less effective at absorbing information after 40 mins so... do take frequent breaks, stretch, walk about (Not watching TV!)

Make notes. Write down the main headings for the topic, and list key points below them. Use a different colour for the headings. Highlighting makes points easier to remember.

Make spider maps. These are a good way to revise.

Test yourself. Check you know a diagram by covering up the labels. Answer questions past papers and BBC Bitesize. Check back to see what you get wrong and why.

Repeat. Look at your revision notes again, at intervals. For example at the end of the revision session, next day, a week later and so on. This will help you remember everything.

Ask for help. If you don't understand something, don't waste too long on it. Ask your teacher for help.
