How do i revise for tests?

Answer 1

When I was takng a course in University they suggeted a great technique! Divide your page into two columns so that the left one is quite small and the right is huge. On the left side write the subheading of the topic you are about to study and on the right side write all of the jot notes about the topic. The best way to study off of this is read the jot notes in your head, read them out loud, cover the jot notes so you only see the subheading and try to repeat as much as you can. Generally that works really well! For subjects like history, they are mostly stories, so make the stories work in a way that makes sense to you.

Also, try and make words from the beginnings of each sentance of lists, etc.

For example: To make a peanut butter sandwich you need
Butter
Peanut butter
Jelly
Bread
Which you can say is "Boys prefer jealous broads".

For math, make up a ton of practice questions and go at it as best as you can. At the ends of text books there are often practice tests. Do all of the questions as well as all of the questions you learned in classes.

Good luck with your studying!

One of the best ways to revive is not simply to reread over and over again, but make things that make it more applicable. Draw out little comics with history characters as the stars, make a trivia game with French, and more. If you make it fun, you'll be more likely to remember and retain all the faces. Fun little pseudonyms and little rhymes will make you giggle and smile as you remember the em during the crucial hours.

Me and my friends used to rewrite popular songs with information we needed to use in test. It was the latest songs, so we never minded listening to them - and we always remember how it went. I remember specifically that 'Lady Marmalade' was big during one of our tests, and we rewrote it so that it was about thermodynamics.

As for Maths? Mostly redoing problems like those that are going to beo n the test, and see where you keep getting it wrong or what step you keep getting stuck on. Then go to the teacher with that, and they'll walk you through it.

Websites like:
-http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/revision/
-http://s-cool.co.uk

are also good! They have Maths revision stuff as well.

Answer 5

it depends on how you learn. Their are memory devices that you can use (like mnemonics) http://www.fun-with-words.com/mnemonics.html
that can be very helpful with studying.

The only way to review for math, however, is practice, practice and practice.

Answer 6

Keep practicing different math questions.
