Exam Help / Revision

[Paddy]

Can anyone give me some revision tips? I'm expected to get A's and B's in my GCSE's but when I revise, nothing ever sticks in my head!

Much appreciated.

Rewrite your notes with color and pictures.

I heard that works but it never sticks in my head!

1. study in conditions that are similar to your test taking conditions.
this will help recall what you've studied a bit easier during the exam
2. teach what you've studied to someone
you retain 80% of what you successfully taught to someone
3. take power naps
the brain sorts and groups information in your sleep
4. repetition: do more problems, write lines if you need to
it helps strengthens the synapses between neurons increasing the speed and accuracy of recall

good luck
