Getting Started...
Revising for maths can be extremely easy; it can be even easier if you revise the topics you already know, but that won't get you anywhere. A tip I would give to all you students out there planning on revising for the upcoming exam is to challenge yourself. Sure, it might feel as though you're making progress if you get really good in a topic you're already good at, but the thing is, you may already get method marks for those questions anyway in the exam because you roughly know how to do it anyway and can make educated attempts at the question. But if you come to a question you have absoluetly no idea on what to do, or where to even start, the marks for that question that you will recieve is none. Zip. Zilch. Nada. You will achieved absolutely nothing and that is the brutal truth. So my first part of advice would be revise what you are unsure of, but learn and understand what you do not know.
Ways to Revise
Small Groups/Teaching
Looking at our favourite E=mc2 guy, Albert Einstein said that if you can't explain something simply you don't understand it well enough. To the best part this is true and can be tested in small groups. This way you get the opportunity to, when revising, help people who do not understand it and thus help your own understanding by explaining how the method works and what to do. Being in small groups also allows other people to help you if you don't understand and can allow you to confer about your answers to see what people are doing, the different methods, and if you are even doing it right.
Make a Poster
An easy way for visual learners to remember rules and other pieces of important information on just one page. Add colour and various diagrams to really make it stick in your head for when you get a question on it in the exam. Mind maps are great if these help you and you can create spider diagrams to join ideas together, but sometimes a visual aid is extremely handy for those who learn better when looking at things as such as this.
Watching Maths Videos
If you're a person who learns best by watching and listening to videos that explain - step by step - how to fully work out a problem then Maths videos will help you a lot because, not only do you have a visual aid, but you also have someone going over it, explaining why and what to do.
Practice Using Past Exam Papers
Even if you're not one for actually doing the questions, going over past papers is a good way to understand how you should manage your time in an exam and also how exams word or phrase certain questions. Another great thing about using practice papers is that you can look at the mark schemes to see where you get the marks so that, even if you don't get the right answer you get marks for the method. It's also extremely helpful to prepare you for when you go into the exam so you're not completely thrown off by the first question that you can't seem to answer.
