Exam Revision
Why is revision important?
As we approach the exam season students thoughts should turn to revision. Revising and revisiting the key knowledge for your subjects will increase your ability to be able to recall important information. The importance of revision can not be understated. Firstly, it helps you to remember facts, figures,and topics that you have covered some time ago. Secondly, If done correctly it will help increase your confidence and reduce anxiety – you will be well-prepared for your examination.
How should I revise?
Begin by organising your work space and your study material. If possible separate the area you intend to use for study from that in which you relax. Try to keep your ‘entertainment gadgets’ out of sight when you are studying.
Make a revision plan, include all the subjects and areas covered by your upcoming exams. Make sure that your plan is realistic. Give yourself enough time to revise properly as well as breaks for relaxation. The revision plan needs to be flexible enough to allow for some things taking longer than expected.
Revise subjects and topics that make you feel anxious earlier on in the revision plan. This will help reduce anxiety because you will feel that you have more time to deal with them. You don’t need to tackle the difficult areas first. Revising subjects you know well will boost your confidence – but don’t put off the difficult areas until the last minute.
Make notes
Taking an active role on revision is far better than just reading texts. 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. Ask someone to test you on the notes you have made.
Take care
Revision can be 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 you are working hard, but actually you are doing more harm than good when you are tired. You will perform much better after a good night’s sleep.
