Make a Revision Timetable

• A revision timetable should help you to
• make realistic plans
• use your time efficiently and effectively
• assess your progress and - if necessary - amend
  plans accordingly.

It's worth spending time on your timetable. You
only need complete it once and when it is done,
you're free to concentrate solely on the business
of revision. You can produce a weekly or daily
timetable. Alternatively you may prefer notes in
a diary, or a wall chart covering the entire
period.

Creating your Timetable
The steps
1. Draw up a blank timetable with days and dates
clearly marked.

• Fill in your timetable marking off
• Your exams
• Any lectures/revision sessions
• Activities that are fixed (eg. Music/swimming
  lessons)
• Make sure you plan in time off. You can allocate
  time for your favourite programmes, times to
  socialise- just make sure you have a balance of
  time off and sufficient revision time.

3. Decide on the periods youll use for revision
and mark them in.
4. Check that the timetable looks realistic.
Are the revision periods of a reasonable length?
Are they at times of day when you study
effectively?
5. Allocate your major revision topics to the
periods youve marked.
