REVISION IS CHEATING idgi don't you learn it the first time through

in uni I get core reading like every week which u rly need to read if u want a pass, u can't rely only on the lecturers notes u need to find info on ur own
and no I don't learn first time i don't understand most unless i re-read and read multiple sources to make sure it's right

Depends on what it is. If it's just some facts, I'll list them appropriately, read them, then cover and try to remember and will do this as many times as necessary. Though usually when I did this I was able to split it into two columns, for example in law at college it would have the case name and what the case proves.

If it's something I can actually use, e.g. a formula, I'll probably go find some test questions or something. Vectors, in my second year of college, I mastered purely because I went over and over the method using some examples my teacher gave me.

Yes, and then you forget it by the time exams come around

[Yawn]

a lot of the time my revision is me teaching myself im a noob

[Matthew]

for maths I just do loads of past papers

for economics and history I re-write my notes (but shorter, only putting down the more important stuff)

[Zelda]

for all 3 of my subjects (maths physics and chemistry) i literally just do tons of past papers, works well enough for me

Practise and reading.

[Daltron]

Typically my weekly readings can be in excess of 300 pages a week so I usually read a page or subsection and write down the one central point I took away and the page number/book and I go back to that place if it comes up in an assessment to reaffirm the rule in my mind. My law school is very anti-exam and assessment heavy so usually it's best to summarise the location of different information for future reference.


I'll usually end up with about 10 pages worth of points and references to store away each week

Rewriting stuff over and over again. Luckily I don't have any exams (apart from skills tests which are more simple based anyway) this year, I don't usually do very well in them
