SUGGESTIONS FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY:
- Re-read the set texts
- Go over feedback given for each of your SAC’s. Work out where you need to improve.
- Create a countdown timeline to the exams and start planning revision.
- Buy some cue cards and start using them to record quotes/key ideas.
- Use posters for key ideas/quotes if that helps – display in the bathroom, kitchen, wherever works!
- Focus on Active Revision – just reading notes does not help. Have an end product in mind – practice essay?
- Complete one or two practice pieces every week that you submit for feedback
