How do you revise?
I tried writing notes but I just get bored of it and I never seem to revise them properly because they are really messy and I can never read my own handwriting. All the smart people in my class write notes and lots of people say that you should write notes to revise from. I'm worried that if I don't write "notes" and won't be able to achieve the highest grades.
Do you think I should write notes just in case they might be useful for my GCSEs (I have a year until my GCSE exams)?
Also, do you have any revision tips to keep information in my long-term memory?
Thank you
