10. Effective revision/ Exam techniques

The exams are getting closer and I started to revise all the subjects. I did not know where to start first so I've made ​​a revision time table in details to look how much I have time to prepare for my exams.  

In order not to mix up the subjects I took them one after the other. If I notice that one subject is more difficult for me, and I want to spend more time on it, to make sure I understand and that I revise correctly. I divided the subject into topics, I wrote down all the question and I tried to answer as many as possible, if I didn’t find the answer I’d go back and read over it again and again. I highlighted the key words to remember their meanings. I repeat aloud. I passed the time that I had in my scheduled for that subject, but at the end my revision was effective. I know that I am quite slow but this is a method that works for me.

As a guide I looked at the last exam papers.  They helped me very much, to see how the format of questions were asked, and I tried to answer them.

Here are some tips that I hope will help you to have an effective revision for exams :

·         Plan a revision time table

·         Break the subject in topics

·         Answer  all the questions

·         If you loss,  go back and re read  

·         Highlight the key words

·         Read aloud

·         Look after yourself

·         Don’t panic

Good look!
