- You should revise in short sessions with breaks rather than long solid sessions to improve learning efficiency over time. Break up a 2-hour revision session into four 25-minute sessions with short breaks in between. - The best place to revise is in a quiet, warm, well-lit room with a table and lamp to focus on materials and a clock to time sessions. - For best retention, you should briefly review material after 10 minutes, 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month to slowly reduce forgetting over time in a process of "topping up" your knowledge.
