10. Effective Revision/ Exam Techniques.

Before attending a super generations seminar I was unsure of how to study properly by just reading a book for an hour and finishing no better than when I began. I found it very difficult to study and prepare for exams so I would procrastinate and become overwhelmed just before the exam. The seminar thought me how to study properly and made me aware of my goals to strive towards which I previously hadn't got so I saw no reason to study as I didn't know what I wanted as a result of all the hard work.

The seminar introduced me to mind-maps which I find simplify all the study material and put it into basically a big colourful poster. I find this very useful as I am a visual learner.

The seminar also thought me that studying in my room with the television and radio on whilst texting was just wasting my time and that the best place to study was somewhere quiet with no distractions replicating the environment where the exam would be held so I would be prepared and most likely to remember what I was revising.

Effective time management also plays a substantial role in revising effectively without wasting time and also for exam situations it helps to spend appropriate time on each question as I outline in my previous blog.

Revision-guides.com has many tips and a step by step guide on how to plan your revision which personally gave me an idea of where to start by organising and prioritising my different modules for revision and how to place each appropriately in a study time table.
