“Revision is at the top of my list of favorite things to do,” said no one ever. However, with exam season slowly approaching, students ideally should be engaged in their revision schedules, study materials and classroom notes. Several of you may be tired of your college applications and are longing for a break, but if you begin to consolidate the daily topics taught in the classroom, there is more likelihood that you will reach your goal of achieving a high score. Even when mock examinations are a few months away, students choose to put off their revision until the last minute, which is why they find themselves struggling to cram all the subject instead of understanding it, therefore making it impossible for them to reach their full potential in terms of performance. Here are 4 reasons to incorporate revision into your weekly schedule.  

Revising as early as possible will allow you to truly grasp the study material and understand it. Preparation for your mocks provides a great opportunity to have a full and rigorous run through the entire syllabus which will give you the chance to receive feedback on the diversity of questions in the differently structured paper formats, and also allow you to gauge what giving the final IB exams are like.  “A few weeks prior to my examinations I took up the Math AA HL revision course and the preparation, which I did, was monumental in helping me achieve the desired grades. I was overjoyed to meet my conditional offer for the prestigious LSE”, says Rhea Bhasin, our former student from Cathedral & John Canon School Mumbai. Additionally, a more profound understanding of all the components of the IB examinations will  automatically give you the ability to work on  the topics you need improvement in, clarify all necessary doubts well in advance , and enjoy the whole experience of learning. Through this process, you can truly soak in the content of the curriculum and apply strategies befitting IB style thinking questions aided by the gained confidence you will acquire with the revision sessions. 

There is no better feeling than showing up prepared for an exam especially when you know you have actually put in the work for it. After working through a well structured revision plan, you will end up feeling less stressed and anxious the week before the examinations begin, and will also have the ability to approach each one with a calm, composed and clear state of mind. As mentioned earlier, in the long term this intense preparation is conducive to achieving the best grades in the final exams and getting into the most prominent universities with your credits while meeting all conditional offers.

To secure the highest grades, students require a robust understanding of the key concepts, the ability to critically and analytically deduce solutions, adhere to the instructions, command terms and expectations set by the IB syllabi and immense practice. A solid understanding of examiner expectations clearly guides students to focus in the right direction to find a strong foothold and secure their desired targets. Strategica revision practice introduces this terminology early on and ensures that you feel exam-ready and grade-confident!
