Exam Workshop 1 – Revision Skills Y11

This inspiring and practical workshop outlines how to prepare for revision and highlights successful revision techniques. Learners have the opportunity via activities to consider and apply productive revision strategies. They will: reflect on their learning environment; identify five top revision hacks; and recognise the importance of effective revision as a life-long skill. Ideally, this would be booked as the first in three exam workshops for Y11, however it can also be a stand alone session. Workshop Details: Group size: one class at a time Length: 45-60 mins Delivery method: In-person is preferable, but virtual delivery can also be arranged and streamed into multiple classrooms if this is the only way it fits into the timetable. GM Higher will need to record the participation of learners in line with our funding requirements, so we will ask you to provide a register.
