revision tips needed
so my exams start mid may may which means i have approx 2 months and a half remaining and i need some study tips.
i'm predicted an A currently for every subject (minus maths which i'm terrible in)
i like to read every topic from a textbook and make notes per page however because i have 22 exams i feel like i need some tips to help pass my exams. i need to work quicker and more efficiently to ensure i get the grades i need to secure my place in college. i've been made various offers but will need to attain certain grades as the offers r conditional. so any quick revision tips? xx

oh wow that's a lot of exams. the best way I felt worked for me for my exams this year was creating flash cards for each subject. I also re-read my notes lots of times until it all eventually sunk in. I can't really think of any quick methods though sorry ;(
-
I usually get rid of any distractions before I start so I can really focus. I find that getting others to test you is good or read over your notes :)
-
i do have revision cards but havent tried using them yet it just seems like such a time consuming process whereas with notes i can cover every area in a topic in a matter of mins.
-
yeah i suppose they could be time consuming when you have so many exams to study for :( i only had the one so it wasn't too bad to use them
-
I think revision notes are easier to go through because you pick up more on the important things and its much easier to read through.
-
yh ur right i think i'll stick to revision notes
-
Great :) best of luck with your revision x

I've found recently that writing out mind maps works really well! Helps me to remember dates and names. After that then I do possible exam topics and write out in bullet points the different points I would make
-
Thanks so much, I'll be sure to try mind maps. I feel like I can retain tons more info if I make notes on every topic individually though, mindmaps are more for brainstormign smaller things perhaps keywords? Thanks anyway tho. xx
