What can you do at Home? Encourage your child to read their revision booklets regularly and completed the associated homework to the best of their ability and on-time. Plan a revision timetable with them – concentrate on their main concerns as a starting point. Use the BBC Revise Wise Web site as an alternative method of revising. Let your child revise for no longer than 30 minutes at a time. Make sure they eat well and get plenty of sleep – particularly in the last few weeks before the tests begin. DO LOTS OF OTHER THINGS TOO!!
