Last Minute Revision Tips

Revision tips:

My GCSE exams start in 13 days; I have two French exams and then two biology exams. All in one day… So after all of the stress of the exams getting closer and closer I have managed to pick up a few tips for revising and preparing for exam season.

The first tip I have is figure out what type of learner you are. There are four main types:
·         Auditory
·         Visual
·         Read write
·         kinaesthetic
If you don’t know what type of learner that you air, the chances are that you are not learning as well as you should be. Some people learn by listening to podcasts and others learn by re-writing key information. Personally, I am read write kinaesthetic. I don’t learn from podcasts or anything like that and I have realised that there is no point in wasting my time on those sorts of resources.

Another thing that you can do to learn key information is to create posters. This may not work for anyone but the majority of people that I know use this technique. Also, when you are making these posters there is no point in writing in black pen because your brain will not be able to remember all the black text. So, when you are making them be sure to use bright colours.

Additionally, another thing to do is to make sure that you don’t get overworked. You should revise for about one hour and then take a twenty minute break. Taking the break makes sure that your brain can comprehend all the information that you have just reviewed. This makes sure that you don’t get swamped with all key words, numbers and graphs.

If you follow those few steps than you will be more prepared for your exams and the stress starts to lift.
