Revision for GCSE and A Level season is upon us!

Our revision promotion has started and in it you will find great savings on class sets of revision resources.  Whether you need revision for the various strands of GCSE History or for A Level Sciences we can help you find what you need.

There is a great deal required of students sitting GCSE and Sixth Form exams for both A Level and other qualifications like BTEC or T Levels and revision resources for schools to use can be a useful tool in the classroom.

Many thanks to the team at Pearson Education have put together some helpful information about what you’ll find within their popular series Pearson Revise for our Revision Season Series…

Maximising potential: GCSE revision from Pearson, the exam experts

Let’s talk about Pearson Revise – our tried and tested revision series that’s been shaped and refined to meet the ever-evolving needs of both students and teachers. Our goal has always been to offer student-centered, exam-focused, and flexible revision materials, created in collaboration with subject specialists, teachers, examiners, and students themselves.

Our revision materials are built upon our exam insights, with the robust accuracy you’ve come to expect from us as experts in teaching, learning, and assessment. This helps us continuously improve our revision series, ensuring it aligns perfectly with the Pearson Edexcel and AQA exam specifications. What’s more, we’re proud to work alongside thousands of teachers across the UK, supporting students as they learn to study independently, retain key knowledge, and practice for their exams.

Most importantly, Pearson Revise offers students the best of both worlds – the accessible print materials that we know students want, supported by online resources, all included in the cost of one Revision Guide.

So, how does the full series work together?

 

Getting started with Revision Guides

Our Revision Guides are tailored to promote independent study, making them an ideal resource for students managing their own revision needs – a crucial learning curve in their GCSE journey!

Our guides offer a blended learning approach, combining the reliability of printed materials with the convenience and interactivity of online resources. This way, students can choose how they study best.

Key benefits of using a Revision Guide include:

  • Easy to use one-topic-per-page format: This layout breaks down complex concepts into manageable chunks, making it easy to navigate through the material, reinforcing students’ understanding and retention of key concepts.
  • Exam-focused hints and tips: Each guide includes practice questions, exemplar responses, and exam-focused hints and tips to help students understand what examiners are looking for.
  • Online revision support: Students can access online revision tools via a unique code in each guide, including a digital version of the guide, flashcards, a revision planner, progress tracker, auto-marked quizzes, and personalised topic lists. It’s all of their revision needs, all in one place.

Retaining and recalling key information with Revision Workbooks

As students begin to feel more confident with the topics they’re studying, the Revision Workbook is an excellent resource for students to practice and reinforce their learning. Students benefit from:

  • Exam-style practice with the write-in format: Guided and unguided exam-style practice questions are included, allowing students to actively engage with the material.
  • Page-matched with the Revision Guides to support independent study: This feature helps students quickly find the practice they need, ensuring a seamless revision experience.
  • Model answers to help students challenge themselves: These help students understand assessment requirements, develop their answers, and perform at their best.

Exam-style practice with Practice Papers Plus

Practice Papers Plus are designed to help students assess their knowledge and skills through realistic exam practice. They are the strongest way of testing a student’s exam readiness once they’re confident with their topic knowledge. Key features include:

  • Accessible write-in format: Students can take an active role in their revision, with plenty of exam tips and notes on the marks allocated to each question along the way.
  • Practise for exams with complete sets of practice papers: Each book contains three full sets of practice papers with worked solutions, allowing for thorough self-assessment.

Build confidence with the exam skills section: This section breaks down each type of question, explaining how to construct strong answers and develop exam techniques

 

Quick recap sessions with Revision Cards

The Pearson Revise Revision Cards are perfect for quick, on-the-go revision. They help students organise their study and practice effectively, making them an ideal tool to use as exams draw closer. Revision Cards provide students with the opportunity to:

  • Recall information quickly: Each card includes key facts and topic summaries, making it easy for students to review important information.
  • Quickly test knowledge with multiple-choice questions: These provide quick practice opportunities, helping students reinforce their knowledge.
  • Gain exam skills with worked examples: These demonstrate exam techniques and help students understand how to approach different types of questions.

By incorporating Pearson Revise into your teaching strategy, you can help your students achieve their full potential and approach their exams with confidence!
