10 week revision timetable

Writing your revision timetable: The first parts



First put all the exams you have down in the grid, make sure you put the subject, the unit, the length of time and whether it is morning or

afternoon. Give this a colour code (or highlight them if you print in black and white). If you are unsure when they are then look on the school

website in the GCSE revision area under examinations.



Next put your activities that you do outside of school or events you have coming up and the times you will do them. (e.g. football training, scouts,

music etc.) These won’t stop you revising at some point during the day but will give you breaks and a rest from your studies.



Now put in any revision lessons you go to after school. THESE ARE REVISION AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!

Putting in the rest of the revision and how to revise



Give time over the day before an exam to really focus on that particular subject if you are able (we know that you may have exams day after day).

If you have two exams on one day then split the day between them and use the day before as well.



Now is the time to start to fill in the gaps with your revision. Start slowly and build it up as you get towards your exams, you may want to do only

1hr a day over Easter but that will = 14 hours of revision. As you get to week four and five it may be two hours week by week 7 you should be in

full swing with three to four hours



Make sure you balance your subjects equally and fairly and break them up over the days. REMEMBER ENGLISH AND MATHS ARE VITAL SO YOU

SHOULD BE TRYING TO DO ONE OF THESE EVERY DAY.



Make sure you put which unit/ exam and where possible topics that you will cover



Try to break them down into 30 or 40 minute sessions this will stop your mind wandering off, allow you to consolidate the revision. It will also

help break it up for you so revision does not become a negative thing.



Put in times where you are going to look at and practice exam questions (these might be at the end of each section of revision or a dedicated time

once a week per subject) FINDING THE EXAM QUESTIONS AND MARK SCHEMES IS NOT REVISION AND SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE THE SESSION. If

in doubt on how well you did take them into your teacher to look at. Do your practice a couple of days after revision to see how much you can

recall and check what areas you need to go back and review



Colour code you subjects and keep a key to make it easier for you to read.



Even if 10 weeks seems daunting start with the first two weeks over Easter and then as you finish these then plan the next two weeks and so on.



MAKE SURE THAT BY THE DAY OF YOUR EXAM YOU HAVE COVERED EVERY TOPIC IN THE SUBJECT. DON’T LEAVE ANYTHING TO CHANCE!!!!!!!!



All past exam questions/revision resources can be found by going through the terminal server on the school website and then going to: O:Year 11 Revision
