Hi all,

With the lead up to exams, a lot of you will be getting stuck in with revision in order to meet those university entry requirements!

Here are a few tips that you might find useful in the run up to exams:

•

Past papers! These are a good way to get some practice and get into the habit of answering exam questions, so you get used to knowing how to answer them within a certain time frame. You might also see a pattern in what questions tend to come up, so you can be prepared for any curve balls!

•

Flash cards: A great way to go over any key terms, quotes, equations etc. you may need to know.

•

Timed essays: If you struggle with time management in exam conditions, then this is a great way to practice.

•

Mind maps: A useful way to get to grips with key concepts and test your knowledge!

personally for logical subjects like maths, I find past papers most effective - booklet work isn't really effective for me

Hi @hh1209

Yes, that is really true! Past papers are really great for subjects such as Maths or Science and are a handy way to revise as they can be the most effective.
