Practical strategies to help with this

Sometimes the obvious is staring us in the face

The sprint vs the marathon mentality for responding to mock

results Sprint• Revision starts in April

• Start talking about revision timetables and revision

techniques in March• Create a feeling of panic

Marathon (with a final sprint)• Re-visiting what happens

throughout your Year 11• Smaller chunks of revision/self

testing throughout the year• Using PIXL Apps• Doing WTM – really positive

feedback about these! • You look at raw marks in each

subject and plan improvement on small gains

• Develop a culture of constant revisiting

• Create a feeling of being in controlStamina has to be developed over a longer

period of time
