Home More advice Education & School
I have 3 exams coming up next month, but tbh I think it's a bit early to revise. Anywayz, for revision the most I've got is going to after school revision classes. Would you like to impart your knowledge of your favourite ways to revise? lol Thanks in advance :)
Kay so this is how I do it: Music on loud and it is normally something with a beat. People might suggest classical but I find listening to more upbeat stuff can remind you in an exam, say for instance if you start humming the tune. You'll remember by assocation. Get some mates round, have a laugh whilst you are doing it. People remember stuff better if they can enjoy it. For my last Law exam my mates and I had a game show theme going on. People wanted to get the answer to win. Looking over notes is obviously good and don't spend too much time at night revising otherwise your brain will explode.
My mum once gave me this advice, but if you are American it might be difficult for you if you are under 21 and if your parents are against it. Have a shot of something everytime you get an answer right., it worked for her and she is a university lecturer.
by revise, do you mean like review for exams? for math or anything with solving, I just keep on practicing and checking my answers. Like, after school, I check my notes of what the teacher taught that day and then solve the exercises in the book. If I dont understand or cant solve an exercise, I ask the teacher how to do it.
If for anything else, I just read a lot and write what needs to be remembered in shOrthand. I noticed that I recall more when I write them and then recite loud (yeah, I talk to myself when I reviewed lol).
Im not much into group reviews though, we just end up chatting lol self review works better for me.
Good luck on your exams. :-)
My fav method of studying is to make point form notes and then have someone else quiz me on them. Or, if it's math, I usually just do a whole buch of questions as review. Good luck :)
