Timing is important for revision. Have you noticed that during the school day you get times when you just don't care any longer? I don't mean the lessons you don't like, but the ones you find usually OK, but on some occasions, you just can't 1 2. You 3 have other things on your mind, be tired, restless, or looking forward to what comes next. Whatever the reason, that particular lesson doesn't get 100 percent 4 from you. The same is true of revision. Your mental and physical 5 are important. If you try to revise when you are tired or totally occupied with something else, your revision will be inefficient and just about worthless. If you approach it feeling fresh, alert, and happy, it will be so much easier and you will learn more, faster. However, if you make no plans and just 6 in a little bit of revision when you feel like it, you probably won't do much revision! You need a revision timetable so you don't keep 7 it off.
