Exams - BBC ReviseWise
The details are presented in a simple, uniform fashion, and the style is highly instructive, if monotonously so sometimes. There’s also an odd tension between the tone and the content. The tone and pitch of the language works really well for 11 year olds, but adults would do better at understanding the content. In other words, this is not a site for children to tackle alone. They’ll need guidance, so be prepared to set aside some quality revision time.
Once you’ve settled into ReviseWise, you’ll find some brilliant learning tools. In the English section, for instance, ‘Planning a Story’ has a clever, memorable way to get someone to think of how to write a story. It ends with the hope that, ‘when you’ve gathered all your ingredients, you can organise them so that your story will virtually write itself’. It’s fun because you can mix and match the ‘ingredients’ to come up with an endless range of stories.
ReviseWise makes a bold claim: ‘Discover that revision can be fun, and find the way to top exam grades with our revision activities. Just select the exams you're working towards on the left, then choose your subject.’ This is certainly the case with English, and the same is true of Maths – this section has a great sense of humour. I love the crocodile in ‘Wise up to Angles’.
