General Revision Tips
There are some general revision tips that would be relevant to both GCSE maths revision and A-Level maths revision.
- Set a revision plan and stick to eat
- Eat well, sleep well and stay hydrated (no, coffee and energy drinks don’t count). Some great tips on How to Stay Healthy During Exams here. With the current Coronavirus fears doing the rounds it is now even more important to make sure you look after your health. Another reason why Air Maths Tuition’s online classes might just be the safest option for extra maths tuition. You don’t want to end up fighting the virus in the middle of one of the most important exams of your life.

- Attend revision classes. At Air Maths Tuition we are in fact doing an Easter Maths Revision Course.
- Take breaks. Your brain cannot fire effectively for extended periods of time. There have been various studies, and it seems that a 5-15 minute break every hour, with a longer 30-minute break every 2-4 hours is optimal for most. Remember, every student is different, so find what works best for you.
- Find your learning style. Yes, there is some controversy on the validity of learning styles. Having worked with many learners (often ones with learning difficulties) over the years, I have found this extremely helpful. Why not try your hand at this quiz to see what learning style you might have.
- Stay calm and keep things in perspective. Stressing too much can be detrimental to your success.
- Talk to your friends and family. Be careful not to isolate yourself too much.
- Last but not least, Do Not Study on The Day of Your Exam! If you have spent your time wisely in the weeks leading up to the exam, do not try and cram anything else on that day. Doing that will only cause anxiety and be the cause of those ‘blank’ moments you can experience in an exam.
These are general guidelines for exam preparation and revision as you will be doing revision for a lot of different subjects over the next few months. It is important to look after yourself at this time.
