How to revise
There are many different ways that students can revise for their mock and real GCSE examinations. Below you will find a collection strategies from The Learning Scientists. These strategies re: based on educational research and the science of how we learn.
The Learning Scientists have shared six approaches to studying that can help students to revise:
- Elaboration – explaining ideas in detail
- Retrieval practice – practice ‘remembering’ what they have been taught
- Spaced practice – spacing out your studying over time.
- Dual coding – combining pictures and words to help you remember things.
- Interleaving – switching between the topics that you study.
- Concrete examples – using specific examples to understand abstract ideas.
