How to Organise Your Maths Revision

Revision falls apart when it is measured in hours. Measure it in topics and you can watch it working.

In short

List the topics before you plan

You cannot plan revision for a subject you have not broken into pieces.

Give each session one named topic

Chosen before you sit down, so no time goes on choosing.

Put the weakest topics earliest

They need more than one visit, and only early topics get one.

Plan the second visit now

A topic revised once in March has gone by May.

Keep a record of what is done

Ticking topics off is what makes a plan feel finite.

Leave gaps in the plan

A plan with no slack breaks the first day something goes wrong.
