Revision sessions boost student confidence and create better assessment outcomes, all while saving teachers valuable time.
Using Atomi’s extensive bank of curriculum-specific resources, teachers can select which content to cover—from whole topics to individual lessons; the question types—from multiple choice to extended response; and the length of time they want their students to revise.
Use revision sessions for anything from practice exams and pop quizzes to diagnostic assessments and end-of-topic tests.
How to create a revision session from a subject or topic page
Create a revision session from any subject or topic page by clicking Create revision; this will open the revision session creation form, where you can customise the topics, question types and session length.
