Strategies for effective revision skills that will work for you. We will cover revision skills hints and tips, useful resources and time management specifically for Science, Maths and calculation-based questions.

Use these short diagnostic tests to check your understanding or as a refresher on key maths skills required for the Maths modules in Economics and PPE courses.

Do you need a quick refresher on particular math concepts, or perhaps you've forgotten some math you learned at school? Below are some resources that we recommend for refreshing your memory.
Here are some Skills Audits to help you evaluate your skills of maths you learnt in school, with topics picked to be most relevant to specific courses. You can use these to determine which areas you might want to brush up on to prepare for your course, or book a maths appointment to discuss any questions you would like further guidance on.
We are still working on these resources so they may be incomplete in places. Please let us know if you have any feedback on them by emailing maths-skills-centre@york.ac.uk.
