Revising

Flash cards work best in topics where I have to remember equations mainly - e.g physics and maths.

For maths I usually go on mymaths and just do the same homework many times so the method is stuck in my head.


Then for Law I'm resitting it at the moment so this year is basically a huge revision year for me really haha, but I've found that doing past papers and marking them to see where I've dropped the marks really help

I would take my notes from class and rewrite them condensing it each time until I had it all on one flash card, so I may have written it out 6/7 times before it got to that stage. It was a long process where most people would just say what a waste of time, but it worked for me.

I'm really weird (and lucky I suppose) because I can sit down for 7 hours with a break for lunch somewhere and just write what I need to learn over and over again.

I did that for my spanish speaking and writing GCSE's the day before I took the exams and went in the next morning and copied 500 words both time word for word. It's tiring but I prefer it to revising a little bit each day.

TBH. I've never revised.

When I lived in England, We never done revision really, then when I moved to Spain, I never understood the language to read what I had to revise on, then at College I just cheated really. I typed everything into google translate, swapped i to English, then back to Spaish, so it was the English way to speak Spanish and got away with it without reading.

Exams are all about memory.
You should play memory games 2-3 weeks before any revision, helps get your brain in the mood.
Flash cards are by far the best way for me.
