Use
the checklist at the front of the book and on each page to cover every topic.
You could use red, amber and green colours to show how confident you are about
the topics.
-
Revisit
the topics you are weakest on. Keep on checking till you improve.
Revise frequently and often. Mix between
topics and exam papers which is called ‘chunking.’ Revise every day and for
short bursts maximum 45 minutes before having a break.
Create
cue cards of key individuals, key words dates and events. There are lists in
the revision guides which you could photocopy and cut out. For example write
the date on one side and the event on the other. Spread the cards out on a
surface and see if you can remember what is on the other side. See if you can
match up cards and explain links.
Complete
the activities and exam questions in the book. Check your answers with the
ideas at the back of the book. Or get another student to check your answers.
Read one of the pages. Summarise the
entire page into ten key words, then five and finally three. Write these key
words down. Revisit your words the next day. Can you explain the topic to
someone else?
Plan
exam questions and write them in timed conditions. 45 minutes for a 20 mark
question. Use the mark schemes at the back of the book to self-assess.
Work
with a partner. Ask them to quiz you on key topics. Or explain to them an essay
question or a topic.
Look/Cover/Write/Check.
Read a page or cue card. Cover it up. Write down what you remember. Check your
answer. Add details you have forgotten. Repeat.
