Mount Carmel Catholic College for Girls
Year 11 Revision Guide
Summer 2015
"Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything
except what you're going to do now…and do it."
-- William Durant
INTRODUCTION
Revision Support for all Year 11 students
A Message to students
We believe that your Year 11 group has the potential to achieve outstanding results. We
also know what a difficult and stressful time Year 11 can be. The support we are offering
here runs alongside the work going on in your lessons and will help to boost your
performance.
However, nothing will help you more than regular attendance at lessons where your
teachers will increasingly focus on preparing you for the exams by doing exam practice
and teaching you exam techniques.
All statistical evidence at a national, local and school level shows that where attendance
is 95% or higher, students are more likely to achieve their targets.
Please remember that you will not achieve the results you hope for without putting in
the extra time at home to revise. Buying revision guides will achieve very little if you
don’t actually read them!
A Message to Parents
You do not need anyone to remind you what an important time this is for your daughter.
We want to work with you to ensure that your daughter achieves her very best. Please
contact us if you have any exam queries

Organise your revision sessions
 Make and use a topic checklist; a list of the major
topics you have covered for each subject. Pin up your
checklist somewhere easily accessible.
 When you start a revision session look at you revision
timetable to find out which subject you have chosen
to revise. Then look at your topic checklist to find
out which topic you have chosen to tackle next.
 After each revision session, tick off the topic from
your checklist. This will help you see the progress you
are making and help you feel in control. It will also
stop you from feeling that you’re not getting
anywhere.

Organise your time
 Set a definite time when you will start and finish
each revision session and stick to it.
 Keep revision sessions to a reasonable length.
Between 1-3hours is about right.
 Try to work in good light.
 If you work better in the mornings; try to work on
difficult subjects at your best time.
 If you are going to listen to music, play it at a low
volume. If you are signing along then you are
distracted!

Improve your concentration
 If you find it difficult to concentrate for long periods
of time, begin with short revision sessions and
gradually build up to longer sessions.
 Make sure you take regular breaks. A good guide is
that for every hour you work, have a 10 minute
break.
 It may help your concentration to vary the topic or
subject during sessions.
 Walking around whilst reading or testing yourself can
help with concentration.
 Take full advantage of school revision sessions
particularly if it is difficult to get peace and quiet at
home.
 Moving around or simply changing position can help
with concentration.

 Clear your desk of table of everything except for
relevant material and equipment and put away
anything that might distract you.

reward after revision sessions.
 Always end a revision session by summing
up/testing yourself. Try: 40mins revising, 10mins
testing, and 10mins resting.
 If you have a short attention span, try: 20mins
revising, 5mins testing, and 5mins resting.
ICT
Cambridge

Subject: ICT
Exam Date: R001 Understanding computer systems 1 h Wed 13 May 9 AM
Animated cartoons use colourful graphics, strong characters
and extremely imaginative storylines
(Scenario 1).
Social media can take many forms. When users sign up to use a
social media site, they agree to follow the rules of that site. A
freelance illustrator may choose to use social media and other
digital methods to publicise their work (Scenario 2).
Revision
Clubs/Websi
tes/Revision
Books
To prepare for the examination, you should research how a
publishing house uses ICT to design, create, publish and
publicise its work.
This should include:
• the software needed to create individual graphics for
animated cartoons
• the uses of a range of input and output devices
• software methods used to create and improve the content of
files, and the benefits of doing so
• methods of protecting files from theft
• methods of collaboration between colleagues working in
different geographical areas.
You should also find out about the work of freelance
illustrators and how they may use websites and social media
to share, publicise and sell their work.
This should include:
• implications of collecting data from customers
• legal implications of using websites and social media
• data transfer technologies
• possible negative impacts that may be caused by overuse of
ICT equipment and methods of reducing, negating and avoiding
these impacts.

 For each subject make sure you know how many
papers you have, how many questions to answer,
choice and type of questions, When and how long
each exam is.
 Go over past papers.
 Write outline answers with just the main points and
ideas.
 Try and practice some questions under exam
conditions. Put your books away, turn off music, and
set a time limit. The more timed questions you do
the better you will become at them.

Write your own revision notes

tackle bulging folders and exercise books. DO NOT
attempt to memorise all of your lesson notes.
 Revision notes are useful for subject where you have
to recall material. Pick out the most important
points.
 Get creative - Use different colour pens for different
information, try drawing pictures or diagrams to
help you remember. Use flashcards or patterned
notes.

more likely you are going to remember them in the
exams.

balance revision time between your subjects.
