My bottom sets really struggle with vocabulary tests and I think part of the problem may be that a lot of them either don't know how to revise or they think it's enough to just stare at the words (as well as other factors!), so I thought I'd come up with a 'Guided Vocabulary Revision' sheet for my Y8 group's test next week (see bottom of the post). I trialled something similar to this with some of my classes last year and it worked really well... Year 7 Group Previous Vocabulary Test: 27% of students achieved at least 6/10 Test After Revision sheet: 39% of students achieved 10/10 100% of students achieved at least 6/10 100% of students made progress Year 10 Group Previous vocabulary test: 64% of students achieved 10/10 Test After Revision Sheet: 91% of students achieved 10/10 The remaining 9% of students did not complete the Vocabulary Revision sheet  With one of my current groups I'm trialling something similar, however this time I'm expecting them to do a 5 minute exercise a day over the next week (5-A-Day Spanish) instead of leaving it all until the last minute. I've also copied the vocabulary over to Memrise for those who are still struggling with the vocabulary after completing the sheet. The sheet is free to download is at the bottom of this post. Hope it's useful! Let me know if you do anything similar (or have any better ideas!) with your students. Dannielle
