Revision is a key aspect of every student's life, regardless of whether you have just begun Year 10 or are in Year 13. However, it can often be confusing to know what resources to use with the overwhelming range of information on the internet. Here at The Education Suite, we understand how difficult it can be to know what resources are the best, as well as figuring out what works best for you. So, we have created a list of the key resources available for your key subjects...
English
Students often find revising for English difficult as it is hard to remember and analyse everything about an entire book or play. The good news is that this is not necessary! Remembering key information will aid you best in an exam, below are resources to help with this:
Spark Notes is a great place to start for English revision, as it summarises texts, provides context and analysis alongside thematic links, so will allow you to keep your memory refreshed regarding plot, themes and background, with helpful quizzes as well.
The British Library, particularly for GCSE and A-Level students, is also a great way to really deepen your understanding of a text due to its huge array of critical and contextual articles, written by esteemed scholars.
Maths
The key to revising Maths is firstly maintaining a clear understanding of key concepts and then practice, practice, practice! Below are some websites with a wide range of practice questions as well as teaching to help you revise:
Websites of exam boards often also provide past papers and mark schemes to allow you to practise in exam conditions:
