I give you a guide to simple’s techniques for revising. Get the best out of your revision with these great tips and technique ideas.
(1). Concentrate
Fitting notes onto one side of paper makes them easier to take in, so rewrite them a number of times and cut down on the size of your notes as you go.
(2). Highlight
Don’t just read. Target key areas using colored highlighters. These visuals will help you keep in mind the facts.
(3). Record
Try putting important points, quotes and formulae on tape. If you hear them and read them, they’re more likely to go under in. You could even download them onto your mp3 player
(4). Talk
Read your notes out loud to yourself. It’s one way of getting them to register.
(5). Test
See what you can keep in mind without notes, but avoid testing yourself on subjects you know by now.
(6). Time
Do past exam papers against the clock, it’s an outstanding way of receiving up to speed and is a great way to get used to working under pressured conditions
