Effective revision, unfortunately consists of actual studying, yes the dreaded word. Nobody likes studying but if you're going to do it why not do it right? I have come to the rescue with my effective revision 101 so here we go:
- Never start studying for an exam without a study timetable worked out. This is absolutely essential, hence why it is step one.
- When you actually begin to do your notes, make sure you take out the key points and examples to go with them.
- You should go over past exam papers and see any patterns that develop over the different years.
- Start answering the exam questions which you find relevant.
These methods should form the basis for revision because rather than sitting reading a book or notes over and over your putting your knowledge to the test by answering exam questions. This has proven to be extremely effective for myself, especially during my Leaving Certificate. Now that I am in college this method is going to be saviour! Hopefully these tips help use all.
This really helped me when i was doing my revision. Thank you
