Plan in good time

Timetable How much time have you got? What do you need to do? A week in hand Aim to have your revision completed by a week before your exams. This gives you: flexibility in case of illness a chance to spend longer on something that proves difficult a break before you sit your exams.

Select What topics do you need to revise? How much time do they need? Targets Be realistic about: the targets you set yourself how much time you will need. Balance Aim for a balance between subjects you’re strong in and those which you’re less confident about.

c. Active revision It’s not enough just to re-read notes, make your revision active! Here’s how: Paper Have plenty of paper and a pen handy. Memorise Study a section of your notes, and memorise the essential points. Write Put your notes out of sight, and write down from memory the essential things you learned.

Check Check with your notes. Learn Note any points you omitted or got wrong, and learn them.

Cards 1.Reduce notes to essential points, either by highlighting or underlining. 2.Use these points to make memory aids on index cards or similar-sized pieces of paper. 3.Use a separate card for each topic. 4.Write down important points to remember about each topic. 5.Carry these cards with you wherever you go. Review them in your spare moments.

e. Pace yourself Use your time well. Don’t try to do too much at once. Take a break from time to time in each study period

f. You’re not alone Revise with other people sometimes; if you don’t feel that you’ve entirely grasped a topic, or don’t have any ‘new’ ideas on it, discussing it with other students can be helpful. This is specially useful for Auditory Learners.

g. Reward yourself Recognise the targets you have achieved. Mark your progress on your revision plan so that you can see what you are achieving..

h. Trust Trust your memory. Once you know a subject thoroughly, move on to the next. Don’t keep checking your memory to see if it’s doing its job. It’s like a filing system, and it will produce what is required at the appropriate time
