I'm a history student and I also find it difficult to revise. I don't know what it is like where you are, but we are given the questions 2 weeks before the exam, this may sound easier but the markers demand an exceptionally high standard of answer. Try focusing on key points, when you get into an exam write down any key points first before you answer any questions, such as names, days, theories. that way you are not trying to remember them in the middle of an answer. The night before an exam don't get drunk and make sure you get plenty of sleep; it is also pointless trying to cram it all in minutes before your exam, just mak brief notes about your key points and take it from there. Good Luck

Read up, make notes, keep self testing - cover the work and write out what you can remember. Bitesize on line is good and has tests. The chemistry site is great. Keep making notes, keep writing what you've learned. Reiteration will aid memory. Make sure you take frequent breaks and distract your mind from your revision at times. Get a good night's sleep and don't stay up all night revising before an exam. Make sure you get a decent breakfast before an exam. Your brain can't work if you don't feed it. Some of the revision books for GCSE are excellent - lots of colour and simple ways of presenting info memorably. Good Luck!

Depending on how soon you have the first test, practice with yourself. Using notes that you took in the class and reviewing certain portions in your text book(s), let them absorb, no matter how long ago you read the material and took the notes, into your head. Now, recite all you can remember. 2nd trial: Think back on the days in the class where the test is being conducted. What do you recall about the discussions and what the instructor(s) said? This technique should help you pinpoint which way you learn best. Good luck!

Jot down your key revision points on those little cards, you know the one's you'd find in an A-Z box?? Carry the card's around with you, and just read read read. Highlight over any points that you're finding hard to take in, and just keep reading. It's much easier to carry small card's around than whole book's...and there's so much unnecessary info in a whole chapter, that you're much better off reading the chapter first, and then jotting down the key points, as that's the important part I guess.

do not study at home as there are too many distractions , go to the university library and work there for 5 hrs. you ll get loads of work done. every 60- 70 Min's have a break for 5 or 12 Min's (have a cigg. or go for a walk). worked for me, at home i hardly got anything done.

Re-write your notes. That's the best way to get the info the lecturer gave you into your brain. You don't really take it in when you first write it and just re-reading it won't help as much as writing.

Summarize your lecture notes, and concentrate thereon.
Join classmates for group discussions
See lecturer for any problem your group can't tackle
Good luck.
