GCSEs are 8 months away, the Kent Test a whole year, so why focus on revision now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There benefit of repletion in learning is well documented and leaving revision to the last-minute misses this crucial step, but what can your child do to start the process that will give them the best chance of success in their exams?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m a great fan of file cards. Noting key points from each topic as it is covered at school means your child will have a bank of quick revision guides, to flick through regularly to keep the topic fresh. As an English tutor, I recommend a file card for each poem studied, including notes on structure, imagery, and themes, together with brief quoted (just a few words, not whole rafts of poetry that your child will never remember). For novels, I recommend a similar system with separate cards for main plot points, themes, setting and each character. I like to colour code my cars with a different colour for each book\/play and the poems all sharing the same colour. &nbsp;The method may differ slightly for other subjects \u2013 in maths I\u2019d include a worked example of each topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I suggest students read through the cards they\u2019ve made once a month and \u2018traffic light\u2019 the topics (a green mark at the top of the card if they are confident, orange if they need a little more practice and red for any subjects they need to ask for help with). The aim is to see all the cards finally marked with green<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to see examples of the file cards I make with students, feel free to message me, either through the website, or on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Kent test, it\u2019s a little different. Our 5-session bundle can be used to highlight any areas that need some extra work. This can be delivered in 5 one-hour sessions or can be purchased separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you think we can help, get your child started, please give us a shout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 2 of the new academic year may seem a little early to start thinking about revision.
