Revision 2014
Make these mocks count!
Revise with a Study Buddy
Gwyneth, I
know we have
consciously
uncoupled but I
need help with
my GCSE music
or there’ll be
trouble!
Don’t cry Chris,
(every teardrop is a
waterfall). I’ll come
round and fix you
with my fantastic
revision skills.
Choose your study buddy carefully
Make sure it is someone you will work with not just chat/play Xbox
with
Make sure you do the same subject
Set time limits and stick to them
Make the revision active
Key Word Cards
• Make cards of key words/characters/dates/processes.
• Write the word on one card
• Write the definition/explanation on another identical card

Plant uses light energy
to create carbohydrate
• Make a whole pack of cards for each subject.
• Carry around and look through them e.g. on a bus, waiting for
an appointment
• Turn them upside down, spread them out and play the pairs
game with them
• Get an adult (that you know, never talk to strangers) to test
you. They just need to be able to read.
Word Clouds
• Make a list of words/places/dates/people you need
to remember.
• Cut and paste them into a word cloud generator e.g.
Wordle www.wordle.net/
• If you want a word to stand out put it in your list
more than once. The more times, the more it stands
out. Try different shapes.
• Print it out and stick it somewhere you’ll see it. The
back of the bathroom door!
Make a poster
• Get a celebrity magazine or
supplement.
• Cut out peoples heads. Stick them to
your poster.
• Add speech bubbles of things you need
to remember.
