Move up a Grade A Revision guide for students in all subjects at school, university and professional levels Course Information   Description Exams are a difficult time. Studying can be tedious and frustrating, but you have to put in the hours in to get the marks. There are no quick fixes, but you can get a better grade with a good revision strategy. This course presents the revision strategy I used to get the second highest mark in the finals of my accountancy qualifications and 10 A’s out of 11 exams through three years of accountancy study. The revision strategy is not complicated, and you still have to do the work – it’s not a magic solution – but it guides you through each phase of revision, and the exam itself, to help you get the best possible marks. I firmly believe that this revision strategy will get you a better mark than you would have without it. Thank you for your interest in this course. I hope this course will help you prepare for your exams   Course Pre-Requisites There are no pre-course requirements.   What Students will Learn How to structure your days and weeks during the revision period How to plan your revision An effective way to learn your material The importance of giving your mind a break – every day The importance of exam practice How to allocate the exam time over the questions How exam marks work To go for the marks, rather than for perfection What to do (and what not to do) on the day of the exam Tips for the exam A simple technique to reduce stress and boost learning     Curriculum SS1 Introduction and Agenda 3 mins SS2 Structure your Week 7 mins SS3 Start Each Day on a Positive Note 2 mins SS4 Revision Phase 1 2 mins SS5 Revision Phase 2 2 mins SS6 Give your Mind a Break 2 mins SS7 Revision Phase 3 5 mins SS8 Revision Phase 4 2 mins SS9 Exam Preparation 1 2 mins SS10 Exam Preparation 2 5 mins SS11 Emotional Freedom Technique 9 mins SS12 The Exam 5 mins SS13 Final Thoughts on Revision 6 mins SS14 Test your Knowledge 8 mins   Total time 1 hour    Additional Resources None     Course Tutor Your tutor is Ross Maynard.

OVERVIEW Prerequisites—this is a day of supervised revision for anyone who wishes to take the PL-300 exam so we expect you to have attended a PL-300 course, either taught or on your own, before attending this day of revision. We are happy for attendees to join the course if you have taken the PL-300 with us or with another provider. In the morning we look at questions from the PL-300 exam, grouped by subject area. For each question we show you the correct answer and then explain why that is the correct answer. After lunch everyone tries a practice exam under exam conditions and we finish the day with clarification on the subjects or specific questions that the class is finding hard. The cost of the course includes a free voucher to take the exam, so please don’t buy your own separately. If you do so we cannot reimburse you with the cost of the exam.
