Revision Guide for 6th Form Students

The thoughts of studying is sometimes more daunting than the actual studying part!

Follow the timetable I have given you. However, include rewards like a DVD /

computer game / outside AFTER studying a topic successfully.

Study at a time that suits you - avoid planning to study during TV shows that you enjoy etc.

Take 2 x 15min sessions at most at one time.

Thinking about study:

Room should be airy, quiet with a clean desk

TV should be OFF! (Remember rewards!) Background music isn’t recommended.

Where should I study?

3 easy steps: Change, Challenge, TreatsStep 1: Change – stimulates our brains… Make and label diagrams, time-lines, charts. Make study cards with your own bullet points. Use colours and highlighters.

Step 2: Challenge – our brains love a challenge! Ask a family member to test you on topic. Teach a family member about the topic. Then get them to ask you qs on the topic.

During study – How do I stay focused?

Step 3: Treats – nice to fell they are deserved! More stopping and starting is better

revision. Relax during your breaks - TV, computer,

outside… Go back to study motivated and fresh! Food breaks: Your brain loves fruit, fish,

vegetables and water!

During study – How do I stay focused?

Be focused, make study worthwhile- (quality not quantity)

Have a vision of success, you CAN do well! It is nice to achieve - you deserve it!!

Finally, remember BALANCE! - Desire to do well, stick to study plan

- Don’t over-worry, don’t be stressed!

Good luck – Beir bua!!
