Beginning to Organise Your Time
Like being asked to recruit and train a football
team, or write and direct a play, or
organise an art exhibition, or market a
new pop-band, Preparing for GCSEs is best
viewed as a project that needs to be managed. An
important project management skill is the ability
to create good plans. When learning, this means
creating good study timetables.
26
Manage your Revision Some Initial Questions
The best timetables are realistic and flexible.
When creating timetables, begin therefore by
answering some important questions   1. How
many days are there until my first exam or piece
of coursework? 2. What is the maximum amount of
time that I am willing to work on a typical
weekday, on a typical Saturday, and on a typical
Sunday? 3. Are there any dates between now and
each deadline when it will be very difficult or
impossible for me to work? 4. How many subjects
am I studying? 5. How many topics am I expected
to learn for each subject and how many pieces of
coursework must I complete?

Mr Hinds' Top Five...
Top Five Handy Hints!
41
Hinds Handy Hint number 1
  • Use "Memory Maps" for complicated topics -
    use pictures and symbols that spring to your
    mind. Place finished memory maps above your desk
    just above eye level

42
Hinds Handy Hint number 2
  • Regularly test yourself in exam conditions

43
Hinds Handy Hint number 3
  • Give yourself regular breaks

44
Hinds Handy Hint number 4
  • Many people concentrate better with a little
    background music on - experiment - does it help
    you? If yes then DO IT!

45
Hinds Handy Hint number 5
  • Mobilise a friend - revise together - use each
    other to brainstorm how you approach certain
    questions, test each other.

Hinds Handy Hints
presentation notes
  • Regularly test yourself in exam condition
  • When taking additional notes remember to try and
    interact with your notes. Consider the topic
    title, ask yourself what the notes made you think
    of, make connections.
  • Give yourself regular breaks - the average
    attention span is about 15 minutes!!   Give
    yourself regular five minute breaks when you do
    something completely different e.g. listen to
    music, make a cup of tea -- you might want to use
    rewards e.g. I can have a chocolate biscuit if I
    learn this Memory map -- you'll get fat but it
    might help you learn
  • Many people concentrate better with a little
    background music on - experiment - does it help
    you? if yes then DO IT
  • Mobilise a friend - revise together - use each
    other to brainstorm how you approach certain
    questions, test each other.
  • Always make sure there is a range of activities
    and aids to your revision
  • Auditory - things you can listen do - other
    people, you could make revision tapes if you find
    the spoken word  more helpful than written
    revision cards
  • Visual - things you can see - revision cards,
    memory maps etc
  • kinaesthetic-  Don't just sit still all the time.
    many people learn well when they are moving
  • Most Importantly START REVISING NOW!

49
presentation notes
Visual
  • Visually organise or reorganise notes using
    columns, categories, outline forms, etc
  • Create timelines, models, charts, grids, etc.
  • Write/rewrite facts, formulas, notes on
    wall-hanging, bedsheet, poster for visual review
    at any time
  • Facts, formulas, notes on index cards
    arranged/rearranged on wall, pin-board, floor,
    bed
  • Use of colour-coded markers or cards for previous
    two above
  • Use of visual mnemonics
  • TV/video supplements important for understanding
    or remembering
  • Use of "background" visual activity helps you to
    concentrate
  • Use of highlighters
  • Near memorisation of chapter/notes

50
AUDITORY
presentation notes
  • - Frequently does homework with friend(s) via
    telephone - seems to understand better and
    retain more
  • - Tape records lesson or notes for re-listening
    later
  • - Must say facts/formulas/information over and
    over to retain
  • - Simultaneous talking-walking studying
  • - Set information to rhyme, rhythm, or music to
    aid retention
  • - Remember where information was located in
    auditory field (e.g. tagged to "who       said
    that?")
  • - Use of different voices to study (like creating
    a script, or acting out a play)
  • - TV/video/radio supplements useful for obtaining
    information
  • - Prefer to listen without taking notes
  • Prefer group discussion and/or study groups
  • - Use of background music helps you to
    concentrate
  • - Prefer quiet study environment

51
Kinesthetic
presentation notes
       Copy notes over and over, apparently to
make them neat or organised         Make
charts, grids, timelines, diagrams (usually
several times)         Trace key words with
finger, marker, hand         Re-enact
situations while studying         Constructs
things while studying (house of cards, blocks,
etc.)         Prefers learning by doing
        Frequently takes things apart, or
"tinkers with things" for understanding        
Prefers on-site visits for understanding

Study Skills Using Mnemonics A Quick Memory
Test. Try Again
presentation notes
Did you remember all 15 words? Now read through
the following story. Try to recount it to a
friend or family member, or aloud to yourself (if
no one else is around). I woke up to find
myself in a caravan. I looked out of the window
to see that I am travelling at 100mph. The
invisible man was driving the car in front towing
the caravan. Suddenly the caravan stops. I step
outside to find that I am in the middle of the
ocean. Mr Bump swam up to me and said all this
water around us is due to the one simple fact
that I have accidentally tipped over my washing
machine. Night fell. I reached up high to grab
hold of a shooting star which whisks me off to
Liverpool. I hit the radio city tower which
turned green with anger and threw me to the
ground. I landed in a huge soft pile of
marshmallows. A news reporter witnessing this
event and jumped into her helicopter which turned
into a giant frog. Read through the list of
words one more time before trying to recall them
once again. This time have a go at
remembering all 15 in the correct order.
