    Need revision help urgently
    My exams start in 2 weeks..:eek:


    My current revision really isn't working. I keep finding excuses and never actually get and do any work..


    Any one got any revision techniques that have worked well for them?

    First AS I made revision cards while reading guides....

    Came out with ABE

    I then did ALL past papers of every subject, revision cards instead of being senences had ONE word on them i.e. KEY term..I used this for biology so for instance Blood Clotting is a sequence of events...

    Each word was the next step in the event...except you KNOW the knowledge to explain the key term....so why write a load of bs that doesnt get you the mark & you already know??

    I now have AAAA at a2 and my E in biology is now 100% and p.e theory was 100%

    USE the mark schemes and revise the answers from questions that KEEP coming up....its a free 8 marks for every question they have repeated ^^

    So my revision cards have max 8 words on them each, O yeah, and EACH revision card is a Topic in your subject... so for instance my blood clotting was 1 card...athlerosclerosis was 1 card etc Keep your notes short and to the point, you might actually have a chance to remember them then.

    Enjoy.

    Same problem going on over here :L

    I've found past papers really useful....and banning myself from Tumblr - but that's not had such a high success rate. Ah well. :parrot:
