This may be a little late for some people, but I was inspired to make this having seen so many people worried, depressed and generally down over exams, so here is a guide I use:
Now that I have put my section up, just thought it would be great to start an actual thread on studying habits. People who have seen great results please respond and let us know how you study and what was effective for you. So others can take some pointers.
lol im revising atm i find for psychology use a white board (u can buy a relatively medium sized one from tesco for like 3 quid lol) and just keep re writing and re writing everything for a topic, look back through your notes see what u missed and write again!

I did this for my psychology exam lol. Just i used paper rather than a white board. But that is actually a really good idea to use a white board, I would never have thought of doing that... of to tesco i go tomorrow lol
Yeah, this is the guide that they put in the Letts revision guides. It's really good, especially if you stick to it. Might actually try that, when the next set of exams come around...
Also, make sure you have somewhere clean to do your work. Also I can't do work in my bedroom because of my computer and tv etc (i think i associate the room with play+sleep), but if i work in the living room i get a lot done.
I always find it really helpful to do one past paper before I've done any revision, then when I go back to looking at it the night before my exam, I realise how much more I know now. That always makes me feel better about myself and my chances.
I do most of that you have mentioned for my effective revision but I do 1Hours slots for different subjects then followed with a 30min break so my brain relaxs and remembers the information and luckly it works!
the white board for mind maps sounds great, gonna use this guide next year lol seeing as i've finished this year, great guide thanks alot for sharing - it's similar to the one in my physics book but more eloquently written, thanks again!
so what? Not everyone can access Letts, and I so happen to think it is worth it.
wtf are you on about? you obviously copied it out of a letts book and claimed it as your own. That's plagarism and can get you into some serious trouble.....
