You can make revision notes by breaking them down. I believe it’s the best way. You can highlight them, and that means you don’t have to understand writing a full page because you’ve got the most important parts rank out; it could be dates, it could be statements, or mathematical formula or anything of that sort. If you’ve highlighted it, it will spring out of the page out there. There are other techniques, and again it depends on you.
You can have rhymes that you make up so that you keep in mind something; silly rhymes, but rhymes that mean something to you and perhaps nobody else. You can isolate your notes, and I believe this is important, so in its place of having five pages of notes, you can break it down to half a page or a page of important things that you have to keep in mind for examinations.
So, break your revision down and don’t have a volume of stuff to take in every time you want to do a subject. Look at the past examination questions as well; you’ll get to know what sort of information that you need for these. If you isolate so as to sort of in order then that will be supportive when it comes to doing the examination.
A guide to exam technique, this film shows you what to do in an exam in order to get the most excellent out of your revision and succeed in your exams.
Read
All the instructions watchfully so you know how many questions to answer, what they’re worth and which ones are compulsory. All the questions and avoid leaping on the first ‘easy’ one you mark.
And be careful questions you recognize from past papers, they may have been faintly changed.
Plan
Which questions you want to answer and in what order. How much time you’ve got for each one - put your watch in front of you and attempt and stick to your timings. A quick bullet-list of points to give you a handy structure for essay questions.
To use any extra time you have at the end of the exam for checking through your answers.
Write
Answers to the questions that have in fact been set, not the ones you’d hoped to see. As concisely as possible. Keep to the point. As tidily but also as quickly as you can. Try not to spend too long on any single question, however much you get into it.
A brief list of what you would have put in your answer if you find yourself running out of time, that way you should still score some points.
Avoid
Cheating. It’s not value the stress and you’re jump to get caught.
You should start on a question that you feel contented with. It may be that everybody doesn’t think is an easy question, but one that you sense comfortable with and one that you can do. Perhaps even a short answer question in which you can build up marks very rapidly.
The key is that it will give you confidence. Once you feel that you’ve done an enough amount of the paper to start with, you’ll have confidence to go on and tackle what might be more hard questions.
