Once you’ve done the hard work and written copious amounts of study notes for each subject, it is time to revise them and commit all that knowledge to memory.
Everyone learns differently and it’s important to figure out what works for you. It’s worth trying a few different techniques, and not just relying on reading the same information repetitively, hoping it will stick.
Here’s a few suggestions for great revision tactics:-
👉Make Quizlets-
There are plenty of great Apps where you can create your own customised revision quiz, perfect for testing yourself on the exact subject matter.
👉Be the teacher-
One way to commit something to memory is to teach it to someone else. When you have to verbally explain your study notes to someone, it helps gain a solid understanding of the subject.
👉Get your friends involved-
Ask a friend or fellow student to quiz you on your notes, make it a competition and see who can get the most points correct.
👉Decorate with post-it notes-
Create flash cards and stick them up around the house…on the fridge, the bathroom mirror, in the pantry, above your bed. Constant affirmation support in ingraining the information to the brain.
