 There are so many different revision techniques that can help you study. A few such examples are reducing notes from big to small, using memory aides such as mnemonics and the use of mindmaps.

Revision is practise, just ask any great singer, actor or sports figure and they will tell you that they spend hours and hours revision their lyrics, scripts or playbooks. Then, when it's time to perform, are are prepared at the highest possible standard.

Revising will help prepare you for your mock and GCSE examinations, giving you the confidence and belief to achieve your best.
