Revising Techniques

[jofeb04]

Hiya,

I've got two exams in January, and not all my essays are in I have got the time to start revising for these.

Question is how do I revise? What are your tips on remembering the information (for Second year in uni).

Thanks

What subject/s are you doing? If you're studying anything to do with literature and/or languages, I may be able to help

Psychology!

Any hints welcome!

For revision, I just write and write.
Obviously all the areas that you are revising into a big long essay type thing and write it out 2 or 3 times the day/night before exam.
Works for me, got the highest mark in my class

Lilacclaire's method works for me too, although I also condense what I've written 2 or 3 times, so I end up with 2 sides of A4 with the main points on.

I was awful at revision. But everyone else is givign great advice, particularly the writing bit, it really imprints it on your brain.

For night before revision (which is basically all I am capable of) I wrote 6-8 major points that followed each other logically for each possible exam question/topic, memorised them, then strung them into an essay in the exam. A simple but effective emergency measure.

Forgot about this one, sorry!

Lilacclaire, I think I am going to go down that route. Starting with it next week (not in university, dc still in school etc).
