What will
be in the
tests?
But how
will I
revise?
Revise by doing! First, you need to make sure you know
the key words. This involves using your memory.
Activity 1
Look at the following list of words and give each one a
number rating 1-5 based on how well you know the word.
Look at the VKS (Vocabulary Knowledge Scale) below:
1. I dont remember having seen this word before.
2. I have seen this word before but I dont know what
it means.
3. I have seen this word before and I think it
means.
4. I know this word: it means.
5. I can use this word in a sentence, e.g.

Activity 2
1. Take the words topic by topic identify a maximum of 7
words that you have rated 1,2, or 3.
2. Use the step-by-step visual memory strategies on the
next two pages.
(If you already have given the words a 4 rating then to
move to a 5 the spelling strategy will be enough.)
3. Get someone in the class (or at home) to test you on
the words.
Now go to your vocabulary book and do the same 3 steps
to learn the words from the following pages. Not all at
once! One topic at a time and only the words that you
rate 1,2,3 you know the others well enough already!

Now write the word under the picture you have drawn.

corner (right or left depending on where your visual memory is) of the
card.
7 Hold your card up above eye level in your own visual memory position
and say the word and the English meaning several times.
8 Now you are going to be tested on this vocabulary sit as if you are
successful!
9 As you are recalling each word, use your visual memory look upward
and to the right/left.
So now I know
the words. What

can apply what youve learnt! Try these activities about school.
