    Firstly, I would recommend reading through all your notes and work that you have done this year at least once, just to recap. Another important point to note is that everyone revises in different ways so the ways your teachers give you may not always be best for you. You're still quite young so if you try lots of methods out now you should find which is best for you before you get to more important exams later. Some methods I find useful: Reading my notes over and highlighting key parts. Writing out important formulae/definitions to help me remember them. Asking my friends and family to test me on my knowledge. Doing a brainstorm/spider-gram of important points for each topic which I can revise off later. Reading key textbook pages again. Especially for maths doing practice questions is helpful. Making flashcards or revision games. Using websites such as BBC Bitesize (they're not completely useless, despite what your teachers say!) Using any revision booklets/practice papers my teachers have given me. If you settle down somewhere comfortable and set a realistic timetable of what and when you are going to revise with rewards and breaks then it should make this all a bit more bearable. I hope this helps!

Just make notes, on some paper, in different coloured pens :) Look over them, until you remember! :) or you could read over your work around 3 times, then cover it and see if you remember it :) But, you're in Year 7! You think they're important, but this time when you're in Year 10 your GCSE's are 10x harder :) hahah guarenteed! Don't sweat it, you'll be fine! :) Good Luck ! :')
