REVISION
GUIDE 2023
YEAR 8
End-of-year Exam Revision Advice
Preparing for effective revision
Anyone can have goals but successful people have a plan.
• Reflect
Read the subject revision guides, highlighting each topic depending on your confidence levels as:
o Pink – Learning
o Yellow – Revising
o Green – Extending
• Plan
Create a revision timetable.
• Shop!
Make sure that you have everything you need to revise: textbooks, notes, flashcards, paper, pens,
highlighters, post-it notes.
Doing effective revision
• Be focused
Set up a quiet area for your studying. Put electronic devices in a different room. Set a countdown
timer for the length of your revision session and keep going until the timer goes off. Plan your breaks.
• Be active
Don’t just read through notes. See the next page for ideas on how to make revision active.
• Be thorough
If you find something that you don’t understand then do something about it – look it up, ask a friend,
ask your teacher.
Maximising exam performance
• Be calm
It will help to be on time with all equipment ready, including a water bottle.
• Be focused
Good sleep, food and exercise will help with this.
• Be aware
Read all the instructions before you start. Keep an eye on the time and make sure that you answer all
questions, particularly for essay subjects.
Ideas for making revision active
Notetaking
Just copying out notes will not help you! Try these approaches to notetaking.
1) Create a table of notes
Sub-topic Most important point
3 key things to
remember
2) Make flashcards
o Questions on one side and answers on the other
o Key words on one side and definitions on the other
o Sub-topic on one side and three most important points on the other
3) Use Post-it notes
Write important points on post-it notes and stick them up on your wall.
Self-testing
Notes in the form of the three examples above can be used for self-testing:
1) Cover up one column and see if you can remember the contents.
2) Test yourself with the flashcards. Put the ones you get correct in one pile and the ones you get wrong in
another. Keep going through the ‘wrong’ pile in the same way until it is empty.
3) Organise the notes in different ways such as ranking them from most to least important, chronologically
or by grouping them into different categories.
You will also self-test by redoing previous topic tests or completing practice questions given to you by your
teacher. This will only be effective if you complete these three stages:

GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR EXAMS!
Easter and May half term revision
recommendations
We recommend starting your revision in the Easter holiday by completing 1.5 hours of revision per subject.
In term time after Easter set aside a little time each week to revise. Have specific times each week when you
do this and focus this time on the subjects which need some extra revision.
Then complete your revision by doing 1.5 hours per subject over the May half term break.
This still leaves plenty of time to have a rest and to relax in both holidays and it is important to do this too!
Recommendations
• Follow your teachers’ advice and guidance about what and how to revise.
• Avoid leaving all your work until near the end of the holiday.
• Aim to get some revision done in the morning so that you can have guilt free time to relax in the
afternoon.
• Try to spread out your work so that you get to do two separate sessions on each subject at different
points in each holiday. This is called spaced practice and it helps you to remember more material.
A Guide to Summer Internal Examinations
The following information provides you with all the details that you will need for your summer internal
examinations at Colfe’s School. Please read it carefully.
EXAMINATION VENUES
During internal examinations week, you will be allocated an examination room. The table below shows the
rooms that will be in use:
EXAMINATION DAY/ TIMES
Each examination day is split into three sessions, session 1: 08:55-10:40, session 2: 11:05-12:50 and session
3: 13:50-15:35, with break time and lunchtime at the normal times. Registration will also take place as
normal at 08:25 and 15:30. You must be in your allocated examination room at the start of each session.
TIMETABLES
Your examination timetable can be found in your year group team.
Make sure you read and understand your examination timetable. It is your responsibility to
know what examinations you have on each day.
REVISION
Revision lists are provided by each department and are contained within this leaflet. During the examination
week you must plan ahead each evening to ensure that you have sufficient revision material at school for
the time prior to your examination starting.
EXAMINATION ROOM BEHAVIOUR/CONDUCT
Once you enter the examination room you are expected to remain silent. You may have time before your
examination to revise but this must be conducted in silence.
While the examination is taking place, you must not communicate with any other students or ask out loud
for anything. If you need any assistance then simply put up your hand and the teacher will come to you.
You should remain silent whilst the examination papers are collected in and until you are dismissed by the
invigilator in charge.

8B 103
8C 104
8D 106
8E 109
8F 110
Extra Time Candidates 201 or 202
Computer Users T4
STATIONERY/CALCULATORS
You are responsible for bringing the right stationery/equipment to all of your examinations. Black ink
should be used to write in with pencils only being used for diagrams and rough notes. Do not use tippex or
erasable pens, simply cross through anything you do not want to be marked. Highlighter pens should not be
used to write answers, and all of your stationery should be contained within a clear pencil case.
You should have the following stationery:
• Clear pencil case
• Black pens
• Pencils
• Ruler
• Rubber
• Sharpener
• Highlighters
• Protractor
• Pair of compasses
• Colouring pencils
• Calculator
Calculators should be in good working order; please be prepared and bring your calculator to all
examinations for which you might potentially need it.
FOOD AND DRINK
You may bring a small bottle of water, but no other type of drink is permitted. Food is not allowed into
the examination room, unless you have a medical condition that requires it.
CHEATING (MALPRACTICE)
Cheating in an examination is a serious offence and will usually lead to you being given a zero for your
examination. You will then be required to sit another examination during a Saturday detention.
The following are all types of cheating in an examination:
• Showing another student your examination paper
• Asking another student for an answer
• Having unauthorised material on you or your desk i.e. notes, mobile phones, calculator lids
• Having subject material written on your body
• Being in possession of a mobile phone, smartwatch, iPod, MP3/4 player, USB etc. (You should give
these to the teacher at the start of the session.)
Do not jeopardise all of your hard work during the year by cheating in an examination.
ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS
Students who are entitled to access arrangements such as extra time or a computer will sit their
examinations in the extra time room of which Ms Coode will be in charge.
If you have any queries with regards to access arrangements during internal examination week, please speak
to Ms Coode, Head of Learning Support, or contact her via email acoode@colfes.com.
LATE ARRIVAL
As usual, if you are going to be late for any reason please contact the school on 020 8852 2283. Make
your way to school as quickly as you can and try not to panic. When you arrive at school, sign in at
reception and then go straight to your registration room or examination room, depending on the time.
Whilst you will be allowed to sit the examination, there is no guarantee that you will be allowed the full
amount of time; this will depend on how late you arrive, so make sure you are on time for all of your
examinations.
SICKNESS/ABSENCE
If you are unwell during internal examination week and are unable to attend school, your parents must
contact school in the usual way. Mr Snell will be in contact with you to arrange a time for you to catch up
on the examination(s) that you have missed so please check your emails. Most catch up examinations will
take place the week after internal examination week.
TOILET BREAKS
Toilet breaks are an interruption to both you and others in the examination room, so you should plan to
go to the toilet before you enter the examination room. If you require a toilet break during your
examination, you must raise your hand and ask the teacher. Please be aware that you forfeit the time it
takes to go to the toilet from your examination; it will not be added on to the end. Only one student at a
time will be permitted to go to the toilet during an examination.
EMERGENCY EVACUATION
In the event of the fire alarm sounding during an examination, it is essential that you listen to the
instructions given by the teacher. You will be informed to stop writing and the examination will be halted.
Whilst evacuation takes place, you will still be under examination conditions, and you must not talk to any
other students during this time. Once it is safe to return to the building, the examination will resume.
RESULTS
Results will be given to you during lessons the week following internal examination week, and they will be
included in your end-of-year report to your parents.

Y8 End of Year exam revision guide 2023.pdf

  • 2. End-of-year Exam Revision Advice Preparing for effective revision Anyone can have goals but successful people have a plan. • Reflect Read the subject revision guides, highlighting each topic depending on your confidence levels as: o Pink – Learning o Yellow – Revising o Green – Extending • Plan Create a revision timetable. • Shop! Make sure that you have everything you need to revise: textbooks, notes, flashcards, paper, pens, highlighters, post-it notes. Doing effective revision • Be focused Set up a quiet area for your studying. Put electronic devices in a different room. Set a countdown timer for the length of your revision session and keep going until the timer goes off. Plan your breaks. • Be active Don’t just read through notes. See the next page for ideas on how to make revision active. • Be thorough If you find something that you don’t understand then do something about it – look it up, ask a friend, ask your teacher. Maximising exam performance • Be calm It will help to be on time with all equipment ready, including a water bottle. • Be focused Good sleep, food and exercise will help with this. • Be aware Read all the instructions before you start. Keep an eye on the time and make sure that you answer all questions, particularly for essay subjects.
  • 3. Ideas for making revision active Notetaking Just copying out notes will not help you! Try these approaches to notetaking. 1) Create a table of notes Sub-topic Most important point 3 key things to remember 2) Make flashcards o Questions on one side and answers on the other o Key words on one side and definitions on the other o Sub-topic on one side and three most important points on the other 3) Use Post-it notes Write important points on post-it notes and stick them up on your wall. Self-testing Notes in the form of the three examples above can be used for self-testing: 1) Cover up one column and see if you can remember the contents. 2) Test yourself with the flashcards. Put the ones you get correct in one pile and the ones you get wrong in another. Keep going through the ‘wrong’ pile in the same way until it is empty. 3) Organise the notes in different ways such as ranking them from most to least important, chronologically or by grouping them into different categories. You will also self-test by redoing previous topic tests or completing practice questions given to you by your teacher. This will only be effective if you complete these three stages: COMPLETE IN TEST CONDITIONS IMPROVE USING YOUR NOTES MARK AND CORRECT GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR EXAMS!
  • 4. Easter and May half term revision recommendations We recommend starting your revision in the Easter holiday by completing 1.5 hours of revision per subject. In term time after Easter set aside a little time each week to revise. Have specific times each week when you do this and focus this time on the subjects which need some extra revision. Then complete your revision by doing 1.5 hours per subject over the May half term break. This still leaves plenty of time to have a rest and to relax in both holidays and it is important to do this too! Recommendations • Follow your teachers’ advice and guidance about what and how to revise. • Avoid leaving all your work until near the end of the holiday. • Aim to get some revision done in the morning so that you can have guilt free time to relax in the afternoon. • Try to spread out your work so that you get to do two separate sessions on each subject at different points in each holiday. This is called spaced practice and it helps you to remember more material.
  • 5. A Guide to Summer Internal Examinations The following information provides you with all the details that you will need for your summer internal examinations at Colfe’s School. Please read it carefully. EXAMINATION VENUES During internal examinations week, you will be allocated an examination room. The table below shows the rooms that will be in use: EXAMINATION DAY/ TIMES Each examination day is split into three sessions, session 1: 08:55-10:40, session 2: 11:05-12:50 and session 3: 13:50-15:35, with break time and lunchtime at the normal times. Registration will also take place as normal at 08:25 and 15:30. You must be in your allocated examination room at the start of each session. TIMETABLES Your examination timetable can be found in your year group team. Make sure you read and understand your examination timetable. It is your responsibility to know what examinations you have on each day. REVISION Revision lists are provided by each department and are contained within this leaflet. During the examination week you must plan ahead each evening to ensure that you have sufficient revision material at school for the time prior to your examination starting. EXAMINATION ROOM BEHAVIOUR/CONDUCT Once you enter the examination room you are expected to remain silent. You may have time before your examination to revise but this must be conducted in silence. While the examination is taking place, you must not communicate with any other students or ask out loud for anything. If you need any assistance then simply put up your hand and the teacher will come to you. You should remain silent whilst the examination papers are collected in and until you are dismissed by the invigilator in charge. TUTOR GROUP EXAMINATION ROOM 8A 102 8B 103 8C 104 8D 106 8E 109 8F 110 Extra Time Candidates 201 or 202 Computer Users T4
  • 6. STATIONERY/CALCULATORS You are responsible for bringing the right stationery/equipment to all of your examinations. Black ink should be used to write in with pencils only being used for diagrams and rough notes. Do not use tippex or erasable pens, simply cross through anything you do not want to be marked. Highlighter pens should not be used to write answers, and all of your stationery should be contained within a clear pencil case. You should have the following stationery: • Clear pencil case • Black pens • Pencils • Ruler • Rubber • Sharpener • Highlighters • Protractor • Pair of compasses • Colouring pencils • Calculator Calculators should be in good working order; please be prepared and bring your calculator to all examinations for which you might potentially need it. FOOD AND DRINK You may bring a small bottle of water, but no other type of drink is permitted. Food is not allowed into the examination room, unless you have a medical condition that requires it. CHEATING (MALPRACTICE) Cheating in an examination is a serious offence and will usually lead to you being given a zero for your examination. You will then be required to sit another examination during a Saturday detention. The following are all types of cheating in an examination: • Showing another student your examination paper • Asking another student for an answer • Having unauthorised material on you or your desk i.e. notes, mobile phones, calculator lids • Having subject material written on your body • Being in possession of a mobile phone, smartwatch, iPod, MP3/4 player, USB etc. (You should give these to the teacher at the start of the session.) Do not jeopardise all of your hard work during the year by cheating in an examination. ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS Students who are entitled to access arrangements such as extra time or a computer will sit their examinations in the extra time room of which Ms Coode will be in charge. If you have any queries with regards to access arrangements during internal examination week, please speak to Ms Coode, Head of Learning Support, or contact her via email acoode@colfes.com. LATE ARRIVAL
  • 7. As usual, if you are going to be late for any reason please contact the school on 020 8852 2283. Make your way to school as quickly as you can and try not to panic. When you arrive at school, sign in at reception and then go straight to your registration room or examination room, depending on the time. Whilst you will be allowed to sit the examination, there is no guarantee that you will be allowed the full amount of time; this will depend on how late you arrive, so make sure you are on time for all of your examinations. SICKNESS/ABSENCE If you are unwell during internal examination week and are unable to attend school, your parents must contact school in the usual way. Mr Snell will be in contact with you to arrange a time for you to catch up on the examination(s) that you have missed so please check your emails. Most catch up examinations will take place the week after internal examination week. TOILET BREAKS Toilet breaks are an interruption to both you and others in the examination room, so you should plan to go to the toilet before you enter the examination room. If you require a toilet break during your examination, you must raise your hand and ask the teacher. Please be aware that you forfeit the time it takes to go to the toilet from your examination; it will not be added on to the end. Only one student at a time will be permitted to go to the toilet during an examination. EMERGENCY EVACUATION In the event of the fire alarm sounding during an examination, it is essential that you listen to the instructions given by the teacher. You will be informed to stop writing and the examination will be halted. Whilst evacuation takes place, you will still be under examination conditions, and you must not talk to any other students during this time. Once it is safe to return to the building, the examination will resume. RESULTS Results will be given to you during lessons the week following internal examination week, and they will be included in your end-of-year report to your parents.
