How best to revise

  • Before you start revising, get all your notes sorted, and draw up a list of all the topics you need to cover.
  • Plan exactly when you are going to revise.
  • Complete the 6 week work pack on Mathswatchvle
  • Use the internet. The internet is like having your own personal teacher who is available for you whenever you like.
  • Don’t just practice the topics you can do.
  • Practice doing questions under exam conditions. 
  • Practice using your calculator!

Additional information

  • Make sure you have your own calculator, and you know how to use it. 
  • Wordy questions can be daunting.
  • Underline key information to help you pick out the things you need.
  • Cross out any red herrings – for example, information in a table that you’re not going to need.
  • Tick each piece of information off as you use it so you don’t miss anything out.
