It is always best to revise outside, on a beach, in the costa del sol

During term time

What really works for me is having the mark scheme in front of me when I do my maths papers.

I get 100% every time.

Cutting up your notes into tiny little squares and then eating them is the best way to absorb the knowledge

cram really hard but with such perfectionistic detail that you only cover a tiny portion right at the start of your course. but your notes look REALLY good

If you really want to get ahead in Chemistry, buy some Francium to see how the reaction works! They always say learning is best by doing :h:

just revise the topics you find very easy and don't touch the harder topics because you wont get marks on it anyway

Intestines have a very high surface area whereas eyes only have a very small surface area, so I've found it beneficial to eat textbooks and my notes as it helps me learn the content faster.
OCR textbooks are really rather nice, but AQA can need a bit of seasoning.

Step 1: Open up a past paper
Step 2: Congratulate yourself on your revision so far. Decide a break is in order.
Step 3: Make yourself some tea and walk back to laptop.
Step 4: Forget what you were doing and play the Google Doodle Skateboard game for ten minutes.
Step 5: Become guilty that you are playing the Google Doodle Skateboard game. Open up the news instead so you can pretend you are actually learning something.
Step 6: Get distracted by a headline and search it up on Wikipedia.
Step 7: Close past paper to make room for more Wikipedia tabs. Convince yourself this is important research.

Repeat until exam day

eating sodium and chlorine simultaneously really gave me an up close and personal insight into neutralisation reactions and titrations ^^ turns out you need 1 chonk of sodium to neutralise 1 chonk of chlorine. just make sure you eat them at the EXACT SAME TIME or else u will explode!!! hope this helps :biggrin:
