And in light of the recent decision to make all subjects at GCSE linear, so that students will be tested in one-off sittings, it will be even more important that students are well equipped to acquire and recall key content ahead of their exams.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIn this wide-ranging guide to effective exam preparation, Jake Hunton casts a careful eye over a wide range of research into revision techniques and details the strategies which have been proven to deliver the best results. With plenty of practical suggestions and subject-specific examples, Exam Literacy provides teachers with user-friendly advice on how they can make the content they cover stick, and shares up-to-date, evidence-based information on:\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe nature of learning and the various types of memory.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eHow to improve students' retention of knowledge and recall of content.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhy popular revision techniques, such as rereading, highlighting and summarising,may not be as effective as you think.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eHow revision strategies that have been identified as being more effective – such as interleaving, elaborative interrogation, self-explanation and retrieval practice – can be embedded into day-to-day teaching.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eHow students can be encouraged to make use of these winning strategies when revising independently.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe book also shows how the proven revision strategies which Jake details could work alongside subject content, and explores the overlap between the use of revision strategies in and out the classroom – suggesting ways to fill any learning gaps. As an additional focus, Jake discusses why teachers may be better off delivering their own revision (or ‘revisiting') strategies as part of the normal flow of their teaching of the curriculum rather than resorting to after-school revision sessions or outsourcing to revision companies. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSuitable for all teachers looking to improve their students' exam results.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eContents include:\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePart 1: The Debate \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e1.
