thanks to everyone - I've just tried the marker suggestion and it has really helped. Am revising for the Legal Practice Course so any website suggestions would come in really useful!! Thanks again

Hold and play with something like a marker pen in your left hand to keep the right hand side of your brain busy (the day dreamy side) so that it doesn't disrupt the analytical left hand side of your brain which is trying to study. Sounds strange I know, but seems to work if you actually give it a chance.

If you have a visual memory ( you remeber the look of things rarther than the content) draw your info up in a chart / diagram. Use colours and format your page so that you remember what details were written there. This kills 2 birds with 1 stone, as by re-writing out info, you are more likely to absorb it. If the info is lists (of names etc..) take the first letters of each and form some sort of sentence/rhyme that you are more likely to remember.
Bananas make for good brain food too apparently.Good luck.

I found that writing it down helped me to retake all the information in.
Typing also did the same trick.
There are website there that can show you different techniques and my advice would be to give a few a shot until you find the one that works for you.
Good luck with your revising!

Study in small doses, around 20 mins, then try and explain that subject matter to someone who does not know about it.
Your explanations will solidify your knowledge and any questions that they have may point you to areas you are weak on.

I found the best way was to re-write the information in my own words. While doing that you really have to think about the subject. After that, re-read the notes you have written to make sure they make sense.
