Revision Planner

To help you in putting together a revision plan, we have broken down one section of the OCR specification to give an example. We have left spaces, assuming you will also be studying other subjects, and there is also a blank version for you to customise and adapt for your own planning .

Planning your revision The earlier you begin your revision, the easier it will become as the exam approaches. Allow time for breaks within and between sessions revision is normally most effective when undertaken in short, concentrated bursts. Set realistic amounts of material to revise during each session to ensure even coverage of the content you will be examined on.
