How do you revise for exams?

Question

I know exam season is months away but i want to get some idea of how other people retain material for their exams.

Basically i'm just looking for tips.

Answer 1

It depends on how you learn and remember things. One way is to just plug in your earphones and go over lesson notes - but that can be tiring and a bit boring.

Group revision sessions are good, if your school has them. Usually it involves different activities and going over a topic you struggle on. Don't try and pile on the work, though -- too much pressure. Pinpoint what you're not good at and then work on it.

It's also a good idea to brainstorm what things you can remember from a certain subject, go over things you've missed. try to make up games, so you can remember. Good luck with revision- it's a tedious task but someone has to do it! Remember to take breaks and have a snack or a drink, to avoid working for long hours!

Answer 2

Answer 3

well you could try...

Writing question/answer cards and taking a couple if your going somewhere e.g on a plane/bus/train e.t.c

reading notes and writing them again in bold colours and trying to remember the information

getting a big folder to put all of your revision stuff in it

getting some little notebooks to have a brainstorm of what you remember

talking to someone about your subjects and key points you need to remember

What I would start doing now is trying to learn everything as you go through the year so that when your exams come you are just going over things instead of learning them for the first time.

good luck!

Hope this helps :)
