About Exam Preparation and Revision
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
This unit sits in the Learning and Study Skills strand of Personal and career development. It is about how to sit exams, not about one subject's content. Most resources are mind maps, and they are backed by flashcards, notes, slides and a few quizzes.
Exam technique and command words
Command words are a big theme. The Key Words in Exams flashcard deck runs through terms such as analyse, compare, contrast, criticise, define, discuss and evaluate. There are several more decks and maps on command words, so you can compare how different authors explain them. The Exam Skills mind map tells you to highlight keywords, check what the question asks, and make sure you answered everything rather than going off on a tangent. The Revision mind map adds advice for the big day, such as reading questions carefully and looking at the marks available.
Test-specific preparation
Many resources focus on named tests. For the SAT, there are slides on how to ace the essay section, a sample essay on failure and success, and notes on what to know about the test. For the ACT, the ACT mind map lays out each section by question count and timing, while HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE ACT? covers diagnostic tests and test-taking strategies. GRE essay topics, GMAT, LSAT logic games and GCSE revision timetables also appear.
Where to start
- Begin with the Revision and Exam Skills mind maps for the basics.
- Learn the command words with a flashcard deck.
- Open the resources for your own test, such as the SAT or ACT items.
- Take a quiz, such as Exam technique, to see what you still need to work on.
- Go back to the maps for anything that tripped you up.
Quizzes show you what you know, and maps help you see how ideas connect. Used together, they make revision more active. Teachers can set a map or deck as a starting point for a class.
Make it your own
If a resource is close but not quite right, build your own version. Choose one map from this page and adapt it to your own exam board and timetable.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start on this page?
Start with the Revision and Exam Skills mind maps, which cover reading questions carefully, highlighting keywords and checking your answer. Then pick up a command words flashcard deck. Once you have the basics, move to resources for your own test, such as the SAT or ACT items.
Which exams do the resources mention?
The resources mention GCSE, SAT, GRE, Cambridge English, GMAT, ACT and LSAT. Most of the material is aimed at school students, so you will find SAT and ACT preparation alongside GCSE revision items such as a revision timetable. A few resources suit professional candidates in passing.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover exam technique, command words, revision plans, motivation during exam season and signs of exam stress. Some are test-specific, such as the ACT section breakdown and the maps on the GMAT and GRE General Test. There are over 90 of them, so you can compare approaches.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Are there quizzes I can try?
Yes, there are 6 quizzes on the page. They include Exam technique, Reading Overview and Overall Science Strategies. Taking one early is a quick way to find which parts of your exam approach need work before you go back to the maps and flashcards.
What if I can't find my exam?
Look at the general resources first, because command words, planning answers and revision methods apply to many tests. Then adapt a nearby map or deck, such as one for the SAT or ACT, to your own paper. You can create a new resource of your own.
