Taking the pain out of exam revision..
and maybe even enjoying it.
cc: MyNameIsHarry - https://www.flickr.com/photos/29264769@N00
Early in the semester, you can
begin revising by making
revision materials: create lists
of questions, gapfills,
summaries, diagrams and
memory devices that you can
use later in semester.

By making revision materials,
you will familiarise yourself
with the content and have a
better understanding of the
big picture. Then you can
devote your swot vac to
brushing up on the details.

Don't write out your lecture notes to make
them neater. Rewrite them as a series of
questions.
Or a gapfill
Create flashcards
Study flashcards using the Leitner method*
*http://leitnerportal.com/LearnMore.aspx
Make Posters
and hang them in your study area
Create diagrams
To illustrate processes and systems
Open source computer apps
can be used to create tests
and quizzes from your own
notes.
Then as the semester
progresses you can recycle
and revisit your revision
materials to assess your
progress and identify where
more work is needed.
