Oxford Revise: Science

The three simple steps of effective science revision: knowledge, retrieval, practice

ContinueShow all resources in Oxford Revise: Science

Oxford Revise was developed by a group of cognitive science and revision experts combining their collective understanding of up-todate research and their classroom experience. They had one common goal - to create guides that increase students' confidence in their knowledge, in their retrieval of that knowledge, and in their ability to apply that knowledge to assessments.

They wanted to help students understand how to revise for science effectively and give them the tools and revision strategies to practice and succeed!
