Welcome to my Revision mini-site! My aim is to try to provide some useful tips and advice to help you to maximise the effectiveness of your revision. There is no one system that will work for everyone. Hopefully you have already been experimenting with different revision techniques and hopefully you have found one that works quite well for you. Don't worry if you haven't - follow some of this advice for some extra help.

Warning! Warning! Warning!
You actually can't do very much revision sitting at your computer. There is just too much temptation - playing music, doing searches, firing off emails, playing games, checking out who is on MSN . . . its's not worth it. Once you have found the information you need, turn the computer off and get back to your quiet place and try to use some of the 'IN-BRAIN' strategies that I have mentioned in the sections above.
Turn that computer off! You exam requires to learn how to transfer your knowledge from your brain to your hand and this is what you must practice.
