Help!!

I’m getting really bored of revision sometimes I don’t even revise what should I do??
You need to try and enjoy it - I know it sound hard! Maybe change your revision technique. Make sure you have enough breaks to make sure you are focused. If you lose focus or get bored have a quick break and go back. Reward yourself and then you will do your revision - trust me!

Try both - which one do you enjoy doing more? Try new ways as well such as YouTube videos or group work to make things more exciting

Sounds good, just make sure any videos you watch are based on the exact course your taking. Revision is about doing multiple tasks to try and relearn. Find what works and what you enjoy

I do both! I use my notes to learn the facts and then my flash cards as a test and a quick recap! For flashcards I use quizlet, which has a flashcards online thingy, which lets you star them and so I know which ones I don‘t know and it doesn’t looks as scary at a mountain of cards. Hope this helps :smile:

Do you read your notes as well over and over again and also do you make your flash cards?

Read your notes again and again won’t always work. You need other things like flashcards to test your understanding. Also use highlighters to make you notes clear. I always make my own flashcards it not only makes you revise when making them but you can keep them for times closer to your exams

Basically, I have notes on every page of the revision guide but in a simpler form and I have them in a folder organised by topic. This means I can take one page of notes and purely focus on that one note page, I write them out again and again on my laptop just on a blank word document until I can recall the facts easily. The next time I revise that specific subject again I go over my flash cards on those notes to make sure I know it, then I do another page of notes. It’s seems like a long process in a way but I have used it for ages and I have found myself getting very quick and learning the information.

Aha does this make sense :smile:

Yeah thanks also if flash cards work for me should I just read my flash cards once I’m done my notes?

Yeah, just make sure if you do that, that your flash cards cover every bit of information.
I've had 3 months to prepare for this assignment that's due in 2 weeks. I still haven't started. Get on my level of procrastination.
