Top Tips for Success
Your Year 11 journey is an exciting challenge, and with the right strategies, you can achieve your full potential. To help you prepare, we’ve created a KS4 Revision Booklet packed with practical advice and tools for effective studying. Below are some highlights to get you started:
1. Make the Most of Flashcards
- Create Clear Questions and Answers: Write questions on one side and answers on the other to test your memory.
- Practice Regularly: Use flashcards for quick, focused sessions. Aim to cover different subjects each day.
- Use the Leitner System: Organise flashcards into piles based on how well you know the content and revisit the tricky ones more often.
2. Master the Art of a Brain Dump
- Start Fresh: Grab a blank sheet of paper and write down everything you can remember about a topic.
- Review Your Notes: Compare your brain dump with your revision notes to see what you’ve missed.
- Repeat and Refine: Keep practicing until your brain dump is thorough and accurate.
