I sit in bed with a cup of tea and read my class notes. Never made revision notes, done practise papers or anything like that. Hasn't failed me so far.

Write notes on everything then do past papers
Usually I read through my notes and any revision books first. Then, I make my notes concise and ensure I know the main points off by heart. After that I tend to use Quizlet, make lists, flashcards and mindmaps of the topics, including more detailed points (can listen to music while doing this). If it's a very detailed subject, like Classics, usually I make revision guides. Main thing, however, is to spread out your revision. Do a little everyday.

edit: past papers and reading through mark schemes are really good to do, as well.

Lol...

Increased sexual frustration when revising?
Mindmaps, a few colourful notes, but I hate notes so I don't make many . . . Videos, teaching other people, past papers.
Here's what I've always done:

When I need to cram and revise everything last minute I really just try to memorise everything. :biggrin: It usually works but I would strictly advise to not write notes if it is not beneficial to you as this will be then a waste of time. I just write down the key bits and highlight these. The specification is key to success! The specification just has everything nicely written down and tells me what I need to know for the exam. :h:
