Introduction: Students in the academy are psychic! Who are these students? When did they realise they were psychic? Who else knew they were psychic? These questions wondered through our minds as much as they are wondering through yours. Thankfully we have the power to figure out who our psychic students are…………

Some students in the sixth form are mysterious, making us question and want to find out more about them, deep hidden secrets wonder through these walls. The only way to find out is to ask. We were given a ‘heads up’ of a few students who seemed to do exceedingly well on their AS and A2 exams, so our interests automatically followed them. We interviewed two students who want to remain anonymous, who told us the both share the same exam techniques or ‘psychic powers’, as the called it, which ensures them success when doing an exam.

Of course we all think the root to their superb success is hard core revision but that’s where we’re wrong. The unexpected revision they do which comes as a shock to others helps them to do well in exams but were all wondering what these techniques are. I know readers you’re itching to find out theses specific techniques? And we are itching to tell you…….

Conclusion: Obviously months of preparation would be expected but not with these students. Weeks! A few weeks is a sufficient amount of time for these students to have enough revision to do well in exams. They have a special skill that not many students are blessed with. The luck of having a photographic memory!!!!! This supplies them with a years worth of studying and months worth of revision. They remember everything thing they ever wrote down, everything the teacher ever said. Every little aspect of learning, they can REMEMBER IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t we all wish we had the luck of being blessed with a photographic memory? Yes, yes we do! It’s unfortunate that we are not all as lucky as some so they gave us some tips and advise to help students with revision and exam difficulty. The main thing to do is prepare in advance for exams, have a detailed revision timetable and STICK TO IT! Do activities related to the subject your revising for and learn visually, verbally and actively. They reminded us that revision is supposed to fun plus enjoyable, so make sure that you make it fun for yourself or you will have trouble absorbing the information.

So there we go. Students with a photographic memory, working alongside us at sixth form. They look like average, ordinary students who have a secret skill which benefit them when doing exams. Revision is known as revision to us but to them revision is part of their psychic powers as it’s not a long, stressful process.

Revision is fun, so enjoy it but its much more fun for those students with ‘psychic powers’!!!
