Revision

Students will be sitting mock exams in December and March and public exams in May and June.

Students should be using the resources on the portal in the Revision folder to support their learning. They should also be regularly using Seneca.

You are about to hit the busiest few months of your educational career and there is no doubt you will feel the pressure. The following booklet is designed to support you in the months ahead. It’s easy to find the prospect of revision overwhelming and for time spent on it to be unproductive.

Whether you’re burying your head in the sand or starting to panic already, this booklet will have something for you. It is laid out in sections to help you with the different stages of revision:

• Essential Information on Exam entries / On the day
• Planning a Revision Timetable
• Equipment / Resources needed to revise
• General Tips for Revision
• Subject Specific Tips for Revision

The main thing to remember is there are plenty of people to help you. If you need more support ask the person in college you feel confident seeking help from. This may be your tutor, a subject teacher, a Head of House or a member of SLT. JUST ASK! We have all been through this and know that planning for it can take away a lot of the stress. This booklet is full of useful advice. Don’t file it under your bed – keep it handy for those times when you feel you need a fresh look at things.

Students have their first set of exams in the hall at the end of the spring term.
