This is the second of the post which will help with passing exams using improved revision techniques.
Make sure that you revise in an environment that suits you. I preferred to revise in my dining room and hated revising the university or school library. Where do you feel more comfortable? Remember this is all about helping you with passing exams so it must suit you.
I know lots of people who don’t like revising in the mornings. That is fine but plan your revision to accommodate your preferences. Don’t work too late in the evenings as you will have too many thoughts running through your head when you come to trying to sleep.
You shouldn’t be revising when you are too tired. It is poor use of revision techniques as you won’t be absorbing the new information – remember those short breaks. Also, make sure that you are getting enough sleep each night, you shouldn’t be out partying during revision time anyway!
Carry your notes around with you so that you can use any chance that you get to refresh your memory. passing exams takes commitment so you should always be looking out for these opportunities. I’m talking about times when you are sitting around waiting for your mates, this is the perfect opportunity.
Another useful tip that you can incorporate into your revision techniques is the use of keycards or post it notes. Write important key words onto these cards and put them around your room, in fact, leave them all around the house! You don’t need anything too detailed. Just seeing the key words will be enough for you to keep your brain working and keep all the key issues in the front of your mind. You will be amazed at how effective this is.
Well hopefully you can use these revision techniques and put them into practice. Once you have mastered them, combining them with a good exam technique will be enough for seeing you passing exams with flying colors.
