Preparing for exams is like preparing for an athletic event Part 2
Continuing the pole-vaulting example: whilst practising does our athlete expect to clear the bar every time?
If he does then maybe he can jump to infinity, or perhaps the bar is set too low?
If too low then he may gain confidence but will never break his own personal best!
In revision it is useful to polish techniques and make sure we can do the things we really know. BUT every time we raise the bar we have the potential for an additional mark.
It’s the extra things we can do which build grades!
