Standard Grade: revision hints

Over the next few weeks, you should be starting to think about your prelims. The earlier you start to revise, the more painless it will be!

  • You will be tested not only on vocabulary covered in class but on your ability to cope with less familiar topics. This is why Past Paper-based lessons are so important and you are encouraged to approach such work with such focus.

  • Your first port of call should be your vocab sheet and the work you've done in class over the past two years.

  • For Reading, make sure that your dictionary skills are up to scratch (sheet recommended in previous post) and that you use techniques discussed in class.

  • The Listening prelim is held the week before the rest of the prelims start. (update: Pupils have been invited to Supported Study on Monday 9th November, Tuesday the 17th November and Monday the 23rd November. Listening will be the main focus.)

  • For all exams make sure that you attempt all questions. Remember that you are expected to pick out information and not necessarily understand everything.

  • Useful sites have been/will be recommended for your use.

  • Click the label SG Revision, for a variety of sites I've recommended in the past.
