cife colleges were the pioneers of Easter revision and are the major providers of these intensive courses, helping thousands of students every year. Given the great range of sixth-form programmes available it’s not possible to lay on Easter Revision courses in everything so colleges specialise in offering specific subjects and syllabuses. All A levels and GCSEs are now linear – examined at the end of the course. This puts more pressure on students because they have to know the whole subject content for those final exams. That makes getting revision started over Easter even more important. Working with teachers who fully understand the new types of exam paper and questions is essential.
The section below, Easter Revision course comparison, looks at differences between cife colleges’ courses. It gives information on dates, subjects, costs, accommodation etc.
Check our advice page for articles about how to revise effectively. Here’s an article about getting Easter Revision right and how a course at a good college can help.
How can an Easter Revision course help?
For good results in summer exams you must revise during the Easter break, but sticking to your own revision during a holiday isn’t easy. An Easter Revision course is an effective way to kick-start the whole process. It provides you with structure, revision, exam practice and support in one concentrated package. Easter Revision courses can make a major difference to your exam results. The momentum you develop will carry you all the way through to the summer exams.
What happens in an Easter Revision course?
Intensive work in a small group, led by an expert teacher, covers a surprising amount of material in a short time. Lots of exam question practice, and accurate feedback on what examiners want, will build your expertise and confidence. This gets the revision process firmly under way and gives you a real feeling of progress. Good revision over Easter makes the remaining weeks before the exams more productive and less stressful.
Why choose a cife college for Easter Revision?
cife colleges teach highly exam-focused courses, so their teachers are experienced and very effective in this sort of intensive work. Many students report that they learnt more in a week on a cife college Easter revision course than in a whole year at school.
