Last week I had 4 full days of tests so I thought it wise to share some of my revision tips that I used and ones that you might find useful. Logically, it depends on what type of learner you are. Eg. If you learn best visually like looking at words
Visual learners:
- sticking post it notes around your house/in places you go to most. This technique will allow you to revise but doing it discretly. You won't realise your revising. This also works well if you don't have much motivation to study.
- if you are a bit more motivated to study, you could simply just write it out and highlight words that need revising
Learn from your ears:
- the best thing if your not a visual learner is to record your voice and then replay it over and over in your head till your assured that it's in your memory.
- an alternative to this is to maybe go on youtube or ask your teacher for any websites that offer videos
A technique that I used and worked for me was writing questions that could possibly occur in the test and then everyday logging on and trying to answer the questions. This way your training your brain to be on the spot so when it does come to the test it won't just be the sentence/statement in your mind but the question it's the answer for too.
I also recommend isolating yourself from all technologies because my tests were in a big hall and it's very quiet. This way your also teaching your brain that there isn't going to be any noise/distraction. I also stopped myself from listening to music because I didn't want to become to use to it.
I recommend taking your revision/study books to school so if you have a test after lunch you can refresh the knowledge in your mind before you go in.
I hope you found this helpful in some way. I know lots of us have tests at the minute with mocks and things. I want to wish you all the best of luck, hope you all do well!
