Tips for revision planning:

work out a revision timetable for each subject break revision time into small chunks - hour-long sessions with short breaks at the

end of each session often work well make sure your child has all the essential books and materials condense notes onto postcards to act as revision prompts buy new stationery, highlighters and pens to make revision more interesting go through school notes with your child or listen while they revise a topic time your child's attempts at practice papers
