10 STEPS TO REVISION
SUCCESS
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Revision space: Find a good place to
work. It should be quiet and
uncluttered.
Revision timetable: Draw up a
revision timetable - it's crucial. It
should be realistic, cover all
subjects and allow you time off to
relax.
Make notes: Don't just read
through your class work, make
notes. One useful tip is to gradually
condense your notes so they fit on
the back of a postcard.
Revision guides: Get a
recommendation from your teacher
as to which are most useful and
then make sure you use them!
Questions and answers: Write out
some questions and answers to see
how much you're actually
remembering.
Listen in: Read your notes onto a
cassette and then play them
walking down the street or whilst
you're in bed.
7. Prompts: Put key words and
phrases on sticky notes around the
house, so you'll see them often.
8. Seek help!: Don't go it alone. They
say a problem shared is a problem
halved. So, get friends and family
on board to help you revise.
9. Past papers: Make sure you get
hold of some past papers, they're
a really good way of knowing what
to expect in the exam.
10. Relax: If you panic you're lost!
The exams are going to happen so
you might as well give yourself the
best chance of doing well by
starting to revise early and
keeping calm.

Loving Heavenly Father,
I plead with You as Your word says that You are very compassionate
and will by no means cast the one who comes to You (John 6:37). You
are aware of my fears and anxiety regarding my forthcoming exams.
Therefore, please fill my heart and soul with Your divine presence and
be the Lord of my life. During these days when I prepare for my
exams, please remove all my sicknesses, lack of concentration,
apprehensions, tensions, hurdles and so on and help me to concentrate
in learning my lessons without wasting time, because the Bible assures,
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and
of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).According to the promise, “I will
instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you
with My eye” (Psalm 32:8), please teach me how to study. Please sit by
my side and teach me the portions which I am unable to understand.
As it is promised in Your word, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask
of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be
given to him” (James 1:5), please fill me with Your divine wisdom and
understanding. Grant me excellent memory power so that I can retain
all that I learn and recollect it during my exam. I thank You for
hearing my supplication. I lift this prayer in the matchless name of
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.
