Making Revision

Make Notes

Active revision is far for effective
than passive. So make notes as you revise. Make further summaries of the notes.
They act as very useful prompts for your memory. Review these notes and
summaries regularly. Read them out loud and test yourself on each area you
cover.

Make use of past exam papers. Get used
to the type and style of questions asked. Practice answering the questions
previously asked.

Look After Yourself

Revision is hard work. Make sure that
you get enough sleep and take time off to be with your friends and exercise a
little. Rest, relaxation and making sure you stay fit and well are very
important elements of the revision programme. Don’t revise into the early hours
of the morning. You might feel that you are dedicated and working hard but
‘overdoing’ it is counter productive. You will perform much better after a good
night’s sleep.
