The document provides tips for making exam revision enjoyable and effective. It recommends beginning revision early in the semester by creating questions, summaries, diagrams and other study materials from lecture notes. Revising course content this way helps with understanding and familiarization. During study vacation, the materials can be revisited to brush up on details, while assessing progress and identifying areas needing more work.
