How do you revise?

Lies.

How do you all get past papers, examiners' reports and markschemes for University subjects/study?^o)

I don't do any until the night before when I spend about half an hour looking over my notes, and then in the morning of the exam (just before if exam in morning, or all morning if in afternoon) i read over notes thoroughly and rewrite them in short form on a piece of paper, the key things (depending on subject).

You leave everything to the last minute you remember EVERYTHING that you read, including quotes and dates required for exams like politics or sociology or history. Atleast I do.

I learn my notes the first time round so I dont have to learn then before the exam. That way just a short burst of adrenelin and stuff boosts yours memory and forces yourself to take in and remember everything like 15 mins before the exam. As soon as you get in, write any key notes down, such as formulae your not given at the top of the paper or something, or key quotes and dates, so you can concentrate on other things.


People will most likely quote me telling me my way's bad, I should start month before the exam and revise properly. It takes like 10 mins max to read through my file. I'd rather blitz through it and force myself to remember straight before the exam than be laid back and expect "because i've been revising for months I will know everything". pfft.

Exactly what I do.
Never let me down

Rewriting, talking out loud...

The last min thing can work in the short term but you'll forget everything immediately after the exam, and at the end of your degree you'll have spent thousands of pounds and three years of your life having learnt nothing. What a waste of time, degree or no degree.
