Tip #1: Retrospective Timetable
Tip #1: Retrospective Timetable
How do I make an effective timetable for revision?
Unexpected stuff always comes up in our daily lives and not every topic needs the same amount of time and attention. That is why you need to create a study timetable that doesn’t require looking to the future and the answer is a retrospective revision timetable. To make an effective revision timetable one should not look forward and try to predict the future by allocating time blocks in a calendar for revision (this is the standard prospective timetable).
What does a Retrospective Timetable look like?
You have to make a list of topics in a table system with another few columns for dates studied. The dates are also colour-coded to represent your understanding of those topics (red: challenging, many doubts; orange: still have some doubts; green: understood & can apply)
See examples below:
Advantages:
· Encourages long term, spaced out learning
· Gives an overview of topics as well as our confidence with each topic, and the amount of time that has elapsed since topics were last revised.
· Accounts for unpredictable events that could offset our entire calendar.
Spaced repetition is a really effective method of studying and we highly suggest that you implement a retrospective revision timetable into your study routine in JC1 asap as it will reduce the stress of having to cram everything a few days before the exam!
Another tip:
Avoid starting with topics that you already feel that you have a good grasp of - whilst it may feel satisfying, it’s not mentally taxing and, learning is most effective when we’re engaging in cognitively demanding study.
