Revision tips
Graphic resource outlining key revision tips and skills students need in order to study effectively. Aimed at all students, especially those at KS3/KS4/KS5.
We ask students to study throughout their academic journey, but when do we teach them how to do it properly? After volunteering as an academic mentor for some years, I decided to create this resource to answer one of the most recurrent question students have to ask, i.e. “how to study?”.
This resource is organised as follow:
How to prepare oneself to revise
Tips/techniques to use to study effectively
3 top skills needed to revise + questions to ask oneself
It is extremely important to encourage students to:
use a mixture of techniques to study/revise effectively - the more the merrier;
adapt the techniques to suit their learning style (everyone is different!).
The resource also has 2 links to: a video explaining what mind maps are; a page giving mind maps examples to get students started.
This document can be printed in A5/A4 for students to keep, but it can also be printed in A3 to be used as a display in your classroom.
