How should I revise?

You cannot revise maths by reading about it. You have to actually do maths to revise it.

 

Use your KPI from your most recent PPE:

 

AMBER topics

This means you have some knowledge of this topic. REVISE THESE TOPICS FIRST

RED topics

You will probably need some help with these topics, speak to your teacher. 

GREEN topics

You know these but you need to keep going over them from time to time.

 

Key Revision Techniques:

  • Past papers - print these off and work through the questions - make sure you mark them.

  • Sparx Maths - use the codes provided on your KPI - watch the videos, answer the questions - make sure you mark it.

  • Buy or create Flash Cards of important formulae and rules that you need to know by heart - get someone to test you on these regularly.

  • Attend any revision or intervention classes that are on offer.
