What revision music do you listen to?

I personally like epic/intense/occasionally peaceful soundtracks. Only instrumentals tbh, from movies, anime, games. Gotta love a bit of Hanz zimmer lol. Maybe you dont like revising to music idk.

If I do listen to music and am seriously revising I typically just type in some well-known classical composer and click the first massive video that comes up
Otherwise, if I'm revising but not too into it, I'll listen to anything
Chillstep, mainly - check it out.

Try Blackmill to start off :smile:

Music does not work. Backed up by psychological research: You remember things better if the context when learning is similar to the exam context , it will act as cues to help retrieve information

Listening to James Blake, as in the background of most of his songs there is a loop - normally a drum beat of some kind - this helps me to focus .

I try to listen to it at a low volume. Which is best as as when I start to really focus the noise fades into the background.

Music is a bad idea but it's good to get you excited about work when you're losing it.

I listen to old school arabic music because it sounds the best to me.
Also, something you don't know off by heart always is best than something you know otherwise you'll start saying lyrics in your head instead of saying something about osmosis!

I love soundtracks, LOTR soundtrack has to be on the top for revision music though! It's very empowering, haha! :adore::adore:
