Still revising by reading notes and hoping for the best? Let’s switch to something that actually works 👇
Over the next 12 weeks we will look at different revision techniques you can try out to find what suits you best!
🔴⚫ The Black & Red Exam Paper Method
Step 1: Print a real past paper and answer it in black pen — just like the exam.
Step 2: Mark it using the mark scheme.
Step 3: Go back over your answers in red pen and:
- Add missing points
- Rewrite weak paragraphs
- Correct SPaG
- Improve exam technique
By the end, your page shows exactly:
- What you knew
- What you nearly knew
- What you need to fix
This is active revision, not passive reading.
Every red correction = marks gained next time.
📅 Do this once a week per subject from now…That’s 12 full exam papers improved before the real thing.
If you want, I can:
- Model this on an English question if I get enough '👍'
