Revision Rescue - Ends 17th January

[Samantha]

Ah, January is here again and exams are soon starting! I am rather lucky, having my two exams on the same day and they aren't scheduled until the 25th so I have plenty of time for revision. The problem is though, that I get distracted easily, I get bored and I lack motivation. I need your help, I need you to tell me a revision tip. It can be the revision technique you use, or just one that you know that works!

The most creative will win.

Good luck!

Prize: 5 credits + 10 rep

Highlight the really important points of what you are reading and then revise to those points again and promise yourself a real treat but only if you have revised for an hour!

When revising, always ensure it's active and not passive. I.e. always have a pen in your hand - if you're reading something, you could be highlighting or underlining the key points. Or if you're watching videos (like I am atm for maths ) you could be doing questions on the same topic you're watching, otherwise you'll probably be more likely to forget !

-I draw pictures, cartoons and posters of what I'm revising and then stick them up around different rooms.

-I write everything on sticky notes and stick them up on the walls. I allocate one room per subject to prevent confusion and stick them in the order that I have to learn them (i.e. going from left to right along my living room wall will help me to learn a Shakespeare play, etc).

The first one helps me the most because I enjoy drawing, but the second one would probably work better for most other people :S

Google!, oh take a break for 10 minutes after every hour so you don't overload your head

Record yourself and listen back or read your notes out. I always sing mine LMAO

how i learn my scripts are reading them page by page, then writing them down - yes it takes ages, but like it sticks in your head, i still remember a line i had to say years a go back in primary school lol cause thats how i learnt.

lights off, lamp on. radio on, (put some music on), have a drink by yourself to cool you down if you get stressed.

It really depends on what type of learner you are but personally I am kinda a visual learner. It's good to put important info on sticky pads and put them all around the house in places that you see them. It's best to organise them into topics and select a room for a topic. Then everyday you will naturally take a quick read of each of them and you will eventually have it in the back of your mind. It actually does miracles for learning a lot and if you need to revise something in certain, you just go to that room
