The Definitive Guide to Exam Revision - David Hyner

An ideal guide to revision, independent learning, pedagogy, exams, memory skills, study skills, exam revision, and making learning a lot more fun ! The content of this book gives students the skills and confidence to achieve their exam goals and is intended as a guide to motivate those revising for exams of any sort to raise their aspirations and levels of attainment. It is the culmination of years of research interviews with top achievers and over fifteen years work in the education sector presenting talks and workshops to between 10'000 - 50'000 students and education professionals every year across the UK and around the world. Students should always assess what is "right" for them to be doing, and what is fair to both themselves and those around them before embarking upon their massive goals. It is too tempting to do what seems easy or the "right things" in the moment to makes us feel better about ourselves, when it is nearly always better, even if it is "harder to do," to do the "RIGHT THING." Thanks to all of the amazing young adults I meet each year who have had the courage to go and find out what they are truly capable of achieving...... you guys ROCK and continually inspire me beyond words! This book gives you simple, easy to apply, effective solutions to improved self management, memory skills, independent learning and goal setting be it for personal goals or education/learning goals. It's based on many years of research into how highly effective top achievers set and achieve goals. This gives you increased confidence, certainty and conviction to be the young adult that is talked about... for all the right reasons. The book gives tips and techniques on the subject of personal effectiveness including: Independent learning, Goal Setting, Confidence, Memory Skills, Revision Skills, Motivation, study skills and exam revision including basic pedagogy. The tips and advice given within these pages are not guaranteed to work for everyone as everyone has their own work ethic and unique style of working. They are, however, based upon tried and tested techniques that David has seen used by top achievers, or by successful and effective students and teachers, and/or used by them to improve motivation and raise attainment.
