I personally find writing things over and over again (or in the case of maths, doing the same types of question over and over again) helps me revise and remember things the best.

Just starting this thread to see what other peoples favourite revision technique is, and to see if I fancy giving any of them a go

I plaster my walls in Magic Whiteboards and scribble all over them with key dates and stuff to remember. I find I subconsciously remember stuff that way Works really well with tricky subjects too.

Use post it's on pages of your textbooks and write key points. So when you flick back to it, you learn the key points as well when quickly flicking through the textbook.

Another awesome one is to get a blank wall in your room and put a3/a4 sheets of mind maps. They help tons especially for chemistry when learning so many reactions. As you walk in/out of your room numerous times a day, you will realise that even looking at it for short periods again and again will help you memorise things without even thinking about it.

Ah my physics teacher mentioned doing stuff like this! He said about sticking equations up in my wardrobes and the fridge and stuff so I always see them and then remember them

Combined re-reading and reading it out aloud to myself.

I'm definitely gonna have a poster making session tomorrow and decorate my room with maths and physics equations

It really does work for me. I find I can cram incredible amounts of detailed info into my brain that I would otherwise never have remembered. If you are after the whiteboards, the best place to get them is Rymans, because they give you a student discount, which makes them cheaper than Amazon. At any rate, they certainly brighten up a dull whitewash university halls bedroom and make me feel like a good student

I think an equation wall in my bedroom would look pretty awesome to be quite honest! I'll crack open the gin and make a night of it haha!

Definitely sounds like a good plan! And when my exams are done, I can invite friends over for pictionary on my whiteboards

Ahh of course, a classic I find this especially helps for physics!

I try and construct interesting and absurd (ergo unforgettable) mnemonics to link cases with concepts (we're talking Law here).

Example:

Family Law: Gillick competency of minor. Religious children

Leading cases Re:L and Re: S

So I construct a religious-themed mnemonic. Lucifer and Satan. (L and S).


Equity and Trusts: Dehors Theory of Secret Trusts

Megarry VC "The point of...Secret Trusts is....that they operate outside the will" (Re: Snowden 1970)

So I construct a mnemonic - Dehors. Lisa Snowdon.

I love this! Though dunno if I'd be able to come up with anything decent haha

The whole memory technique is much more advanced than that - but I can't be bothered to get into it. Supposedly you take journey that you would never forget (say the walk to school that you might have done a thousand times), then you identify certain things that you know are there in real life - and then associate them with the things you need to remember.

It sounds complicated, and I have never managed to do it - but it's apparently how these memory experts do it.

Personally, I can only do it on a limited basis - and I find that I have to make the associations really dumb or it won't work.

On the other hand, the old rhymes that I was taught in the Army for electronics I have never forgotten: "One over Two Pi Root LC; Is the Resonant Frequency"
