GetRevising has been set up to encourage students to put into practice the best advice about exam preparation. It enables a personalised approach to revision and encourages students to see that they are not alone but part of a community of thousands of others, all revising for the same exams.
The big idea
GetRevising offers a personalised approach to revision based on the latest research into teaching and learning. It enables students to:
- Make their own revision resources in the form of flash cards and revision maps
- Look at and rate resources made by other students
- Plan their personal revision timetable based on their motivation and other committments
- Make links with other students revising for the same subjects
Using GetRevising
Use GetRevising for homework or in lessons
- Create revision timetables online
- Make flash cards of definitions, explanations, key points and so on
- Encourage students to upload resources and watch their ratings
- Upload your own resources and comment on others
