2. Top tips for revision
• Learn actively by thinking, understanding and connecting the things you
are trying to learn to your existing ideas and knowledge. Consider how the
information can be used to answer exam questions from past papers. Is it
a theory? Or supporting evidence? Do you agree with it?
• Ask yourself…
• "What have I just learnt?"
• "How could I use it to answer an exam question?"
• Make sense of the information - Information is hard to remember if it
does not make sense. So you need to understand what you are trying to
learn and relate it to things you already know.
• Use your own words in revision notes as this connects the ideas to your
understanding.

Identify Give main points accurately (A description
may also be necessary to gain higher marks)
Describe Provide a detailed description of the subject in
a logical way (Use placement examples to aid
your description)
Explain Apply reasoning to account for how
something is or to show understanding of
underpinning concepts. Responses could
include examples to support these reasons.
Evaluate Examine strengths and weaknesses, arguments
for and against and/or similarities and
differences. Judge the evidence from the
different perspectives and make a valid
conclusion or reasoned judgment. Apply
current research or theories to support the
evaluation.
