Going into year 11 in September, just wondering if have starting revising and what techniques that they use to help them revise

In order to achieve the highest grades/results, try to review your notes everyday or every other day for at least 1 hour. Stay on top of your work by making summary notes after each lesson so it will be easier and less stressful come exam time.

A few tips:
- Put flashcards around your room for definitions etc.
- For long processes in bio, chem etc. record yourself saying the full process loudly and listen to it over and over so it sticks in your head.
- Teach people what you are learning to show you understand the things you revise.
- For Maths, do as many practice questions + exam papers as possible, this prevents any surprise questions in the exam.

The main thing I have cannot stress further is to review your class notes everyday, so many times you see people revising last minute and not being able to cover the content before their exam.

Hope these are useful and benefit you or anybody else.
