REVISION TROUBLE?
FACE IT
FACE IT
●
If you’re faced with a large amount of material to revise, ahead of examinations and
assessments, there’s a process you might find helpful: FACE It.
●
Each letter represents some actions to take in order of difficulty.
●
The overall message is not to avoid the study process — make a start and then build up
to the more challenging parts.

F | LEARN YOUR FACTS FIRST
FACE IT
●
To begin, learn the core factual content in a
topic:
○
terminology, definitions, equations, dates,
names, places, quotations, labels, sequences,
units, events, people.
●
This is the quizzable knowledge that you might
have on flash cards or knowledge organisers.
●
Use a range of retrieval practice techniques like
self-quizzing.

A | APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO
NEW PROBLEMS
FACE IT
●
With your facts secure, tackle questions where
the knowledge is tested in a context, beyond
straightforward recall.
●
It’s not enough to know isolated facts; that
knowledge needs to be used in a range of
contexts.
●
Often previous examination questions and
textbooks will be a good source of questions of
this type.

C | CONNECT YOUR KNOWLEDGE
WITH MORE COMPLEX QUESTIONS
FACE IT
●
Attempt questions that require you to draw on
knowledge from more than one topic area or to
apply knowledge to previously unseen ideas.
●
You might need to identify patterns and causal
links that haven’t been explicitly taught before.
●
Sometimes you may need to connect detailed
ideas into a wider schema of interconnected topics.
●
These will be the harder questions normally near
the end of an exam paper.

E | PRACTISE IN EXAM
CONDITIONS
FACE IT
●
Use past test questions to rehearse responding
under time pressure, taking account of the
marks available.
●
Only do this once the FAC aspects are more
secure. There’s no point trying to remember
factual knowledge under a time limit if you
haven’t previously secured that knowledge in a
more low-stakes situation.
●
When you feel you know the material well then
see how well it goes in timed conditions.

If you’re faced with a large amount of material to revise, ahead of examinations and

●
Each letter represents some actions to take in order of difficulty.
●
The overall message is not to avoid the study process — make a start and then build up
to the more challenging parts.
Begin by learning core factual content in a topic, then apply that knowledge to new problems, connect knowledge with complex questions, and practice in exam conditions. Follow the FACE It process to enhance your study habits and techniques for better learning outcomes.
