Alternative revision tips for exam success

There’s more to revising than cue cards and highlighters! Check out some alternative revision tips in our infographic to help when preparing for exam season…

Alternative revision strategies & techniques

  • Teaching a concept to friends and family will help your child to understand it for themselves, becoming a master of their subject!

  • Did you know that smelling rosemary improves results? Northumbria University found pupils working in a room with the aroma of the herb achieved 5-7% better results in memory tests. Time to get the cupboards stocked!

  • If you’re looking for fun ways to mix up revising, making up a song can be a great way to help retain information and improve English language skills.

  • Feeling sleepy? Research shows that just the smell of coffee wakes up the brain and may help people perform better in analytical tests. So why not make a nice cup of coffee while your child is revising?
