Being able to properly revise is one of the key secrets to making sure that you pass your exams. Revision isn't about reading your books until you fall asleep - it is about doing lots of short activities with breaks in between which help keep your mind alert. If your mind is alert you are more likely to take in what you are learning about.
In school you are taught lots of different ways of revising - games that you can play on your own such as thinking of a word for every letter of the alphabet on a particular topic, sketching out mind maps (spider diagrams) of a topic and brainstorming everything you know against the countdown clock are just some ways of keeping your mind alert.
If you are revising for a big set of exams like your GCSE's or SATs then you also need to have a proper revision program in place, so that you know when you are going to revise and what you are going to revise so that you have enough time to fit it all in (and have some rest time too!)
