The most effective revision is active. This means testing yourself, practising questions and applying your knowledge, rather than simply reading notes.

Strategies such as flashcards, mind-maps and self-quizzing can help you to organise and retain key information.

Revisiting content over time (spaced repetition) is essential for building long-term memory.

• Begin with subjects or topics you find most challenging
• Use your mock exam feedback to identify gaps in your knowledge
• Break revision into manageable sections and set clear, realistic goals

Starting small and building consistency is more effective than trying to revise everything at once.

Exams can bring pressure, and it is important to look after your wellbeing during this time.

• Take regular breaks
• Maintain a good sleep routine
• Limit distractions when revising

If you are feeling overwhelmed, speak to a member of staff.

• Completing past papers and exam-style questions
• Practising under timed conditions
• Reviewing and improving weaker areas

If you need additional help, speak to your subject teacher, tutor or head of year. Staff are available to support you throughout your exam preparation.
