SIXTH FORM WEEKLY BULLETIN Friday 10th March 2017

Issue No: 34

Message from Mrs Freeman Whilst writing this, a group of Year 12 and 13 students are sitting outside in our new garden enjoying the sunshine. Summer is definitely on the way! And with summer, come exams! I want to take this opportunity to remind the Sixth Formers that preparation is the key to exam success; everyone should have their revision plans ready for the end of term so that the first week of Easter is not spent drawing up a revision plan in 3 different ways and in umpteen different colours. Every plan should include revision as well as rest and every plan should not just be about staring at notes for an hour. Below I have listed some of my top tips for revision which I hope might help at least one parent who has run out of ideas! As I keep reminding the girls, I was young once and I do remember the exam summers which felt like they would never end. I promise you they do, and with hard work and determination the next door of your life opens; how exciting is that! Mrs Freeman's tips for revision 

Keep it active by 'doing' revision rather than just looking at it or rewriting your notes

Write out key points on post it notes and stick them on the toilet door/fridge/roof of your bedroom

Read out your notes to a recorder (it was a tape recorder in my day) and play it to yourself in the car/garden/bed (I used to play it under my pillow at night with the idea that I would dream about it)

Choose a topic to discuss with your family around the dinner table

Take apart the schemes of work and write questions using the phrases from it - can you then write an answer to your questions?

Re-do any substandard piece of work you have done throughout the course based on your teachers' feedback - hand it in to check you have improved.

Create a google doc in a working group and post questions for others to answer and then each of you can add to it to improve it
