Effective Revision - Challenging Misconceptions - GCSE KS4 Exam Preparation

This resource was created for KS4 students - specifically those getting ready for mocks or final exams.

The session focuses on challenging myths and misconceptions about revision. Each task centres around dispelling different myths and references a paralymic sportsman to encourage students to reflect on the myths they use to tell themselves they can’t revise effectively.

This resource also looks at ‘the curve of forgetting’ and the importance of staged revision. It also explores revision environment, challenges the perception that students don’t need to plan revision, and the ideas of ‘highlighting notes’ counting as revision. Finally, it asks students to review their learning and create a plan for how to ‘target’ their revision. It also has an extension task to create a success criteria for revising.

This powerpoint also comes with a learning mat which can be used in the sessions. Perfect for an isolated lessons on revision.
