How to Revise
Revision Tracker
It makes sense to do a small chunk of revision for each subject per week. If you've got 10 subjects, identify 10 revision slots in your week. For example, you could study 2 subjects each evening, Monday to Friday. Students will be given a copy of the tracker below. To download a copy, click on the link at the bottom of this page.
Coping with pressure during exams
Stress can be good sometimes, it can help you to work harder and focus. But it can also have a big effect on you and make it hard to cope. Stress might affect you if you’re:
- struggling to sleep
- having negative thoughts about the future
- getting headaches or feeling unwell a lot
- not eating because of how you’re feeling
- always thinking about your exams or worrying about them
- not able to enjoy things anymore.
Think positively
When we feel anxious, we can start thinking things like ‘I can’t do this’ and ‘I’m going to fail’. It can be difficult, but try to replace these with positive thoughts such as: ‘this is just anxiety, it can’t harm me’ and, ‘relax, concentrate - it's going to be okay’.

GCSE Past Papers and Revision Classroom Code = vyn54u2
We advise that you revise both the WHAT and the HOW for success in French.
The WHAT is the vocab and grammar.
The HOW is past paper practice.
- For speaking revision please ensure you learn thoroughly your answers to the role play and photocards which we will have prepared in class.
- For reading and listening revision, the past papers Google Classroom will help you to revise and develop your skills - ensure you write down new vocabulary. You also have reading and listening booklets to practice exam style questions.
- For writing revision, please refer to your writing booklets for advice and examples and check your grammar knowledge.
- All of this should be underpinned by additional resources on Memrise or Quizlet for vocabulary and on Seneca for grammar and further exam practice
