If you want to make sure that you get the maths grade that you are capable of then you have to ensure that you take GCSE Maths revision seriously. Many students will plan their revision meticulously,only to find that it doesn’t go too well and find that they can’t absorb information. The reason for this in many occasions is that the student has chosen the wrong time of day to revise.
Morning revision sessions
For most students the best time of day to begin GCSE Maths revision is early in the morning. There is some evidence that the brain functions better in the morning and the memory is more able to take in information. Longer periods for revision are also more likely in the mornings as they tend to be free from interruptions,making early sessions a good idea. Another important factor that probably influences our ability to concentrate more in the morning is that waking up is a clear indication to our brain that is it time to start work.
Late revision sessions
The fact that you are also attending classes whilst trying to undertake your GCSE Maths revision,means that you will only get chance to have morning revision sessions at the weekends and during holidays. As a result you will have to undertake some of your revision sessions when you return from school. Working immediately after your evening meal is often difficult as you just don’t feel like you can be bothered. To get around this problem you should have a bit of a snack when you get in from school to give an energy boost,then take an hour to do some revision. After you have eaten your evening meal take a little bit of time to yourself to relax and then if you feel in the right frame of mind you can do some more revision later on.
Bad times to revise
If you find that you are especially tired,but still haven’t done your evenings GCSE Maths revision session as planned,then it can be a good idea to give it a miss and get an early night. By doing this you can set your alarm clock an hour early and do a revision session whilst your brain is alert before school.
