Introduction

Use this revision guide to plan your revision in the run up to your exams. For revision to be effective, you need to structure your time to ensure that you maximise the opportunities that you have to revise. Together with the support of your teachers and UCC’s tailor-made website, this revision planner will go a long way towards helping you to achieve the exam results you deserve.

Organising your revision 

Make your revision plan as early as possible

Divide your revision into manageable chunks

Prioritise your revision

Be honest about your strengths and weaknesses.

Create a revision space that is good for you e.g. your bedroom.

Resources 

Subject revision outlines are available on the UCC revision website along with downloadable resources and links to useful web pages.

In some cases, the school shop stocks revision books, whilst others may be available from online outlets such as Amazon.co.uk.

In addition to work completed in class and at home, your teachers may well provide you with more detailed unit outlines, checklists and revision notes, especially if these are not available elsewhere.

Tips for revision 

Use mornings for heavy revision, afternoons for lighter revision and evenings to go over things again or to test yourself.

Give a bit more time to your weaker topics.

Repetition - We learn through a mix of seeing (diagrams, videos, and symbols), hearing (discussing, teaching, recording) and doing (making, showing, acting out). The more times you do of each, the more you will remember!

Mind maps and revision cards – strip your notes down to key points, terms and simple diagrams, whatever suits the subject and topic.

Mnemonics and association – link key words and information to the letters of a memorable word or phrase, a familiar place, image, body parts, tunes, objects or even shapes, colours or numbers.

Work with friends and family – go through things together, listen to each other, teach each other, make and share videos and podcasts.

Quizzes, practice questions / papers and model answers – test yourself, mark and weigh up your strengths, identify and address your weaknesses, understand how to write a good answer.

Further guidance on revision strategies can be found in the Q&A on the UCC revision website. For detailed guidance, links and downloadable resources go to:

Coping with Stress There are lots of ways to reduce stress: 

Talk about it – Your listeners can be friends, family, teachers or others. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of maturity and strength.

Daily relaxation – Make sure you spend some time each day doing things that relax you and take your mind off your studies.

Exercise – Exercise is a great way to clear the mind and relaxes your muscles.

Positive thinking – Thinking you may fail makes you worry more and makes you less enthusiastic about working hard.

Eat and drink well – Eating the right foods will reduce overall stress and make you feel good about yourself. Avoid things with added sugar and try to eat a balanced diet with enough protein and savoury carbohydrates. E.g. eggs, yoghurt, fruit, veg, rice, potatoes, fish.

Breathing techniques – Breathing techniques can help you relax. Sit comfortable and close your eyes. Breathe slowly through your nose and count to ten. Hold this breath while you count to ten again. Now breath out slowly, counting to ten once more. Repeat this.

Sleep – Get plenty of rest. Sleep affects concentration so if you have enough sleep, you won’t have to struggle so hard to focus.
