Use effective revision techniques.

There are many effective revision techniques to explore. Check out some of our students' favourite techniques below + try them out!

The Blurting Method - read your notes, close them, grab a sheet of refill & recall everything you can remember from your notes. Check what you may have missed! This is helpful for remembering details, such as dates/people, and quotes, as it highlights your areas of improvement.  

Active Recall - try testing yourself! Use flashcards, past papers, or lecture the details to a friend. Check out our section on individual learning styles to get an idea of what form of active recall works for you. 

Interleaving - If you're studying for multiple exams, actively switch between different subjects during your study session. Maybe you spend 20 minutes on calculus, and then 20 minutes on geography - it's completely up to you!

Study group - get your friends together for a study group. Choose a place with minimal distractions, such as a local cafe or the library. This is a great opportunity to test each other on your topics, and share practical advice for the exam! 

Spaced practice - to avoid last-minute cramming, get started on your studying early and gradually build up to more revision leading up to the exam. Trust me, your future self will thank you!
