Mr Allan's Revision tips!

1) do questions! maths is about practice, if you aint doing questions to practice, you aint revising properly!

2) do no more than 30mins in one go without a break. So if you want to do an hours revision, do 30mins, have a break, then do another 30mins. Your brain starts losing track after 30mins solid.
