Revision for Exams

• The best method of revision is to begin early - as much as a few months before (or even longer) - this will give your brain time to adjust and take in the information.

• You can slowly ease yourself into more intense revision as the exam approaches.
  

• Teachers will be able to tell you what they consider important areas to revise - don't be affraid to ask.
  

• Review your notes as soon after lessons as you can - this way you will be able to identifiy areas you don't understand. Again, don't be affraid to ask your teacher.
  

• Revise with a group of other students/school friends - this will help you to cover important material that you may not notice when you are on your own.
  

• Break up the study tasks into manageable chunks, especially during major revision sessions prior to exams.

• Revising for three hours in the morning and three in the evening is much better than studying for six hours at a time.

• If you feel tired don't bother revising - revising is best done when you are wide awake and alert.
