Revision Tips
Getting started on your revision isn't easy, here's some helpful ways to keep you focused...
- Create a revision timetable and allocate time each day to revise subjects.
- Practice mental arithmetic often and in small chunks, timing yourself between questions.
- Pick a focus for your revision each day.
- Work on areas that have been taught at school which you may feel you need longer on, (ask your teachers if you need advice about this.)
- Revise in a space you feel is quiet and can concentrate.
- Allow yourself treats for good revising sessions!
- Make the effort to concentrate in class.
- Complete homework - it is there to consolidate learning that you have completed.
- Sleep plenty.
- Relax! The more stressed about SATs you get the more likely you are to underachieve. See this as a way to show off what you know.

To get an idea of the types of SATs questions you could be asked, have a look at these past SATs papers.

Be careful when looking at old SATs papers - the bar has been raised and you can expect to be more challenged in the new tests!
