Getting the Best Out of Your Revision Guide
To make the most of your revision guide:
- Start early – Don’t leave it until the last few weeks. Use it throughout the year to reinforce learning.
- Create a revision plan – Break up topics and use your guide to build a routine.
- Use active techniques – Don’t just read – try making flashcards, summarising sections, or teaching someone else the content.
- Combine with practice papers – Revision guides give you the knowledge, but practising real questions boosts exam technique.
- Choose the right exam board – Make sure your guide matches the board you’re studying with (like AQA, Edexcel, OCR, etc).
Whether you’re aiming for top grades or simply want to feel more confident going into your exams, revision guides are a practical, affordable, and student-friendly way to stay on track.
