Revising for the 11 plus is always a daunting thing, so every bit of help that a student can get can be invaluable. Having an 11 plus tutor in Wolverhampton will go a very long way to helping your child maximise their potential.
Ultimately, of course, so much will be up to them. This is most true in the exam room, but in the end what they produce in that situation is going to provide the evidence of good learning and revision. In order to make the very best of that learning, supplemented by effective tutoring, good revision is needed.
Because this can be so daunting, it can be very easy to procrastinate. This thief of time can affect anyone, but it becomes all the more tempting when the task in hand feels just too big. For that reason, the first thing any youngster should do is get an early start.
Not only does effectively fight procrastination, but it makes the task as a whole seem much more manageable. By breaking it down into pieces, a student can start with an early block of revision, then take a break, then another before lunch, followed by an afternoon slot.
Having made an early start, they can take encouragement from having got going and knowing that when they start they have more of the day available to them than if they put off the start of revision until later.
Not only is this a psychologically beneficial approach, but it also lends itself to good organisation. Specific blocks of revision can be put in place. For instance, it may be English in the morning, maths in the afternoon and so on.
Of course, the early start approach is not just about how to approach a day. It is also important that the beginning of revision takes place months before the exam, not days or weeks.
This will ensure that far more actual revising takes place and that knowledge is more firmly established so that it is much more easily remembered in the stressful setting of the exam room.
Best of all, it will establish good revising habits that will be useful in future for GCSEs, A Levels and University.
