Advantages of online revision websites

This is a service which provides its users a great deal of advantages both in the sort, and long run. This is because of the content that it offers – it can potentially result in stuff that stays with someone for a long time (i.e. grades). These advantages include:
  • Users have access to a great deal of revision materials for a series of different exam boards, as well as age groups. For example on BBC Bitesize (a popular revision site) users have access to revision material ranging from key stage 1, all the way up to higher levels (a levels). Furthermore, these are all available across multiple exam boards.
  • Most popular mainstream online revision websites are free to access most of the time, and put together by people who understand the topics with great levels of excellence, so this means that even though the service is free, incorrect information is unlikely to be shared.
  • Online revision websites are different to most other services due to the fact that they can have an impact on a user’s future, as their use can help a user boost their knowledge in a certain subject, which essentially means that a user can achieve a higher grade in any assessments they take for this subject. These grades will stick to a person for a long time in their life, and will make a difference with university and job applications, so online revision websites could be potentially life changing.
  • There is no limit to how much information a user looks at on most popular revision websites. This ultimately means that users do not have to prioritise their revision due to the limits to content, and can essentially access material for each subject they study. 
  • People could technically use these kinds of websites for research into certain topics even if they do not study any of the subjects involved. This would be of use to people as they can understand things which may interest them, and take the information in at a slow, understandable rate as the information is simple to absorb.
