Drama - GCSE Drama rehearsals to fit around the group and the department timings. * Additional information regarding topics being covered during these sessions can be found below. Your preparation starts now! Revision literally means re-vision looking at something again. Which means that you must have seen it in the first place. Spider diagrams There are lots of different ways of writing out your notes. Obviously, you can just copy them out, in shortened form, from your exercise book perhaps highlighting the important parts, or different topics, in different colours. Understand before you revise Make sure you understand something before you start revising it, otherwise you risk learning something that s not correct. The best way to do this is to understand new information as you go along. You ll know from your homework whether you have got to grips with a subject. If you haven t, then ask the teacher, or a friend who does understand the subject and get clear in your mind what you haven t been able to understand. Revision need not be daunting. Some find it boring and tedious, and resent having to set aside long swathes of time at a desk when there are more exciting things to be doing. One of the keys to effective revision is to make sure that you have enough breaks from revision, to make sure that you do get to do those exciting things. And by exciting, I m only talking in relative terms: exciting in comparison with revision, which might mean a chat with your friends, a cup of tea, or a few minutes harassing the dog, and not necessarily going off to fight the demons of the spirit world. Draw up a timetable So, you know you are going to have breaks during your revision. Now think about writing a revision timetable. It doesn t work for
everyone, but it can be helpful. At least it can help you keep track of how much revision you have done, which can be a confidencebooster. Let s say the holidays are coming up. Your school may well have suggested a number of hours of revision that you should aim for. Think about what s possible for you. Think what s realistic, without being a slave-driver or overly lenient. Could you manage six hours a day? No? Four or five hours? If you start at 10 o clock, you can do two and a half hours before lunch, and then two and a half hours in either the afternoon or the evening leaving the rest of the evening or the afternoon free. And if you don t normally get out of bed that early in the holidays, try and make a point of doing so. Have a lie in for the first day or two, but then let the discipline kick in, and make sure you get up in time to get down to work at 10am. Write it on your timetable, to help you stick to it. If you ve decided that it will help to have a revision timetable, it s worth spending some time drawing it up. This may seem an awful faff, but it IS worth spending time up front to work out what you are going to be doing, and how much, and when. Make notes but not too many Some people can t see the point of making notes. They ve written everything down in their exercise books in the first place why write it out again? One reason is to get something into your head: the very act of writing something down helps hammer it into your brain. Another good reason for making notes is that, if you are making CONCISE notes, you have to understand what you are taking notes on. Again, this is worth doing. The more concise your notes are, the less you have to read when you go through them again. Decorate your walls Flashcards can come in handy for revision as well. Cut up a piece of stiff paper or thin card into bite-size chunks (you can get about 18 pieces out of an A4 sheet of paper). Now you can write down anything you need to remember particularly: this might be equations,
or short sentences, or graphs, or diagrams. Read through them and test yourself. Stick the most important ones on your walls, so you see them every time you are in your room. It might even get to the point where you associate, say, your cupboard door with Newton s First Law of Motion. That might seem very sad but it s helpful, all the same. Or put up a coloured representation of the Periodic Table on your wall. Again, how sad but if it helps you learn the elements in Group 1 or Period 3, then that s great. Do practice papers Do practice papers under timed, exam-style conditions. You might not think this is a tip, because it s so obvious, but you can t beat doing past papers for practice. These should be available from your school or wherever you are; they are certainly available online. And get hold of the answer papers as well. But don t cheat when you are doing them. Sit them in exam conditions; make sure you spend the exact length of time that the actual exam will be. Then have a short break, and mark the paper yourself, using the answer sheet. Here it s an advantage that you are doing sciences: the answers will clearly be right or wrong, and there s no room for subjective opinion as there is in, say, history or English literature. Where you ve got an answer right well done. Where it s wrong, have a look at the answer paper, and see if you can work out where you went wrong. If you can, remember this for next time. If you can t, try and find out how to get the right answer. You may need to ask a teacher or a friend. The same sort of questions crop up year after year, so it really is worth knowing how to answer them. Regular testing If there s a tame person in your household whom you can call on to test you, that s great. It doesn t mean they have to concentrate on you entirely testing can be done while you are both clearing the table, emptying the dishwasher, cooking the supper or walking the dog. If there s no such person available, then test yourself, by saying things over to yourself. Talking to yourself isn t always a sign of madness: it can be the sign of a good reviser too.
