Oxford Revise Science: the Oxford Revision Project

Our crack team is working together to trawl the research and pool their expertise and insights. We'll be sharing the findings with you and building them into our newest publishing - the ultimate, evidence-based revision guides.

We've collated links to research and blog posts on the topic which have got us thinking. Scroll down to browse them for yourself and to meet the panel members.

Want to see more? You can now download sample spreads from the Physics book along with draft contents lists for all the Revision Guides.

All teachers who register for online inspection copies will also get immediate access to Biology, Chemistry and Physics sample chapters. To register, fill in our quick form now.
