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
