Can anyone recommend how to make hesitant learner revise


Hey, i would say a good way to revise if you struggle would be to watch videos. For science there’s a really good website called ‘Cognito’ which have videos going through each lesson and then after there is a short quiz and it has helped me improve a few grades in science. I hate going through flash cards for science and doing these quizzes is so much less time consuming. Cognito also does the same thing for maths. A good youtube channel for maths is ‘Physics and Maths Tutor’. Good youtube channels for english are ‘First Rate Tutors’, ‘Mr Salles’ and ‘The Light Up Hub’. It would definitely be helpful to make notes on each lesson. I hope this is helpful :smile:
For the CONTENT-HEAVY SUBJECTS (eg Science, Geography, Religious Studies) make sure you know what EXAM-BOARD your school is using for each subject (Usually, AQA, EDEXCEL & OCR). Then you can find the SPECIFICATION for that subject on their website. The Specification lists out every topic that could be on the exam. I would recommend printing out the specification then ticking all the point you are confident on. Then the ones you don't know, use CGP guides, Cognito, Freescience lessons, CGP textbooks to understand them.
If you are doing AQA RS, on stuvia (a website with revision guides), I would recommend notes made by ' CSandRS '. Just search CSandRS in the stuvia search bar. I used those notes and they are what got me my 9. They follow the spec accurately so you don't need the spec if you get their notes.Hope this helps
