Revision

By dividing your revision into Filter, Learn, Test you are more likely to focus on what you need to revise, as well as helping you to use more effective revision techniques, such as attempting practice questions. 

Filter - Find out what you know and what you need to work on. Use your PLCs to help you to do this. You should spend around 20% of your time on this. 

Learn - During this time, you need to undertake revision activities which help you to learn the topics you identified during the Filter phase. Activities could include: 

- watching GCSEPod and making notes 

- completing topics on Tassomai

- making mindmaps

- making cue cards

- creating quizzes for yourself 

- creating posters 

- making flash cards 

You should spend 30 - 40% of your time on this. 

Test - This is the key part of your revision and the one we are often least keen on. You need to test yourself on what you have learnt to see if it has been effective. Ideas to do this could include: 

- past papers

- creating model answers with a markscheme

- PPEs 

- Short quizzes 

You should spend  30 - 40% of your time on this.
