Steps to good revision..
• Organise a place to revise – agree some rules about being disturbed.
• Put together a revision timetable – display it in ‘public’ place.
• Prepare stationary and books etc, avoid ‘excuses’.
The revision space!

•is quiet and away from other people.•has a space to write and rest books.•is well lit (with a reading light) and warm.•has a clock (or watch) to monitor the time.
