Welcome to the Caludon Castle Revision Website

• Start your revision in good time

• Plan your revision highlighting the subject you are least confident in

• Include details on specific topics not just general areas like ‘Maths’

• Put the dates of exams and coursework deadlines onto your revision timetable

• Chunk your revision into small sections – doing over an hour at a time will not be productive

• Plan in time for relaxation

• Allow yourself some time off

• Try having quiet music the background

• Don’t revise to the TV or the radio

• Make sure you have a comfortable area where you can spread your work out

• Make sure the area is not too hot or too cold and that it has some fresh air

• Ensure you have a drink available

• Memory cards – use small cards to write key facts on.  You can then test your knowledge using
  these or carry them with you on days out etc.

• Mind maps – laying ideas out diagrammatically and linking relevant sections together

• Imagery – Drawing images to represent ideas or using colour to underline key facts and figures

• Make sure you are clear about when your exams are and what time you need to be there

• Be clear about how long each exam will last

• Make sure you have all the equipment for the exam

• Take a drink in with you to sip

• Read through your notes before the exam if you think it will help you

• Make sure you eat before your exam as if you are hungry you may find it distracting
