Revision tips
Our revision tips can make your revising easier and help make good use of your time.
Know the topics
Make a list of key topics and make sure that you cover each one in your revision.
Keep testing yourself
Test your memory of key topics and facts. Make a list of things you need to know and then write down how much you know about them
Practice papers
About two or three months before the examinations start to use past papers, get used to the style of the questions and the kind of words they use, ask your teacher to help you to understand these.
Download past papers from AQA
Download past papers from OCR
Notes, maps, diagrams
Don't just read through notes, things will not stick in your memory. Make new notes as this helps you to remember.
Create diagrams or draw pictures that show how things are connected.
