Study Technique and Revision Tips.

you go boy! HAHAHA xp

Tips & Techniques

• The odd hour here and there isn't enough. Make a revision plan you can stick to, with a daily outline that includes times for breaks and meals.
• Know your strong and weak subjects and mix them up on your timetable, don't do all the nightmare topics at once.
• Set targets that you know you can reach and tick them off as you accomplish them.
• You will need help at some point, ask parents, siblings, teachers and friends for support.
• Find somewhere quiet to revise. You could also try working with other people but, if you can't concentrate, save get-togethers for breaks from the books.
• Put your exams into perspective, they are only one aspect of life.

don't do this.

Seven Rules Of Revision

1. Make your own revision notes. You'll learn as you write and, once you've got them, you're halfway there.
2. Be brief. Check the syllabus or ask a teacher to make sure you've got the key areas sussed.
3. Concentrating on the plus points of revision helps keep you going. Start by thinking how much easier you'll find the exams.
4. Don't overdo it. Your concentration lapses after a couple of hours, so take regular breaks.
5. Experiment with different revision techniques. VARIETY BEATS BOREDOM!
6. Focus. Don't make pointless notes. Look at past exam papers and see how questions could be asked.
7. GET CONFIDENT. If you're positive about exams, you should take in more information and remember it when it counts.

Bearing in mind that the average intelligent adult can concentrate (at best) for about half an hour at a time, you should try to organise your study time into short blocks. At the end of each block you could either take a brief break (5 minutes) or simply change activities. It is quite a good idea to alternate between 2 (or even 3) subjects so that your interest level is maintained.

During the break you could do something physical, make a cup of coffee, make someone else a cup of coffee (steady now!), …. 'phone a friend (for a few minutes - not half the night!). Although it may sound a strange idea, you should try to ensure that you enjoy learning. Set yourself sensible amounts. Reward yourself for achieving your targets. Quit while you're winning. (Don't grind yourself into the ground labouring over something you don't understand - but finish on a "high", having achieved something satisfying.)
