Make some good notes, do not just 'read' by making notes you are more likely to absorb the information. Split each subject up into sub-headings so that each element of a subject is broken down into bite-size chunks as opposed to attempting to digest a vast amount of information.\n\nAsk for help if you need it, don't suffer in silence. I failed all my mock exams and was very concerned so I spoke to my tutors who were very helpful and I passed the real exams. Also speak to your follow classmates, they should be able to help you out too or provide support.\n\nGood luck! Overall, just try to understand the material the best you can and don't leave it to the last minute!

First of all, don't panic!   Everyone went through it! (even us old fogeys!)\n\nWhat I have suggested to my son is to make sure you do the homework the day you get it.   That way, if you are having any problems, you have a chance to talk to the teacher before the homework is due!   If you leave it til Sunday, you will be overwhelmed! - and teachers will not believe you didn't do the homework because you had problems (it's on a par with my dog ate it!)\n\nWith regard to revision, you need to find a way that you are comfortable for revision.   some people prefer silence, others prefer listening to their favourite songs.   Some people like to lie on the floor, some on the bed, some sitting at a desk.   Do whatever suits you.   But do not prevaricate - get everything organised before you start (drink, pens, paper and so on).   Then do your revision in 20 or 30 minute chunks (not including getting books out and putting them away!.   Then, every hour (ie, after 2 or 3 subjects), have a break.\n\nI found the best way to revise is to read through notes again and again, making notes of things I need to remember.    Your teacher may have given you clues as to what may be coming up in the exams.   If you can, work through old papers, using your school notes.   You do not have to do it under exam conditions - and you do not need to write an essay, just jot points down.   It will also give you some ideas of what sort of questions you will get. \n\nWhen doing exams, there should be a mark for each question.   If a question is only worth 1 mark, do not spend long on it;  however a question that is worth 25% of the marks, it is worth spending longer on it!!!   The way I did exams was to jot down points that I could remember for each question before I started writing.   You will have had practice at this when jotting down answers in your revision.   That way, I was able to easily see what I could remember most about.   \n\nthe amazing thing is that if you do revise, you will find things do stay in your head, even though you think they haven't.\n\nIf you are struggling in some subjects, ask your teachers for some extra help.   If you have exams coming up, you should find that all the homework is relevant!\n\nSo calm down - worrying will get you nowhere!   We are all rooting for you!

hey marina\nCHILLAX\n\ni. Revision tips\n\nDevelop a timetable to monitor your progress. Make sure you allocate adequate time for fun and relaxation as well. \n\nWhile revising a subject, practise writing. This would be an actual simulation of the examination itself. Plan your revision and complete it in time. This will give you a sense of achievement and build your confidence.\n\nWhile revising, vary subjects and their difficulty so you don't get bored or disheartened. Set realistic targets of what you can achieve in the time available. \n\nSpend as much time on recall as on reading. Practise by writing answers as you would do in the exam. This will help you remember the important points when you answer each paper. \n\nPractise writing answers under exam conditions. Take three hour tests, without a break in between, preferably at the same time as that of the exam. This will help your body clock adjust to the examination time and conditions. \n\nii. Time out\n\nTo prevent mental fatigue, take a short break as soon as you notice your mind is losing concentration. Stick to activities that do not break your study continuum during these breaks. Avoid television and loud music. You will then be able to come back to your revision refreshed.

Come up with a general thesis, like "Evil exists because of humans" or something like that. Then find your sources. Write a long paragraph based on the information from each source that pertains to that thesis. Then, put the paragraphs from each source in some sort of order, based on how they flow the best. Then, in between each paragraph, fill in with more paragraphs that combine ideas with one another, so that they flow. If you used, say, 6 sources, you should have about 6 pages by now. Then, read through and fill in points and embellish the ideas that are already there. Voila... 12 pages. Make sure you take snack and rest breaks every 2 hours or so. Good luck!

tell her 2 make lists!!! i was so stressed out last wk. had to finish my personal statement, start revision for january modules,  do normal work for my courses and still be awake and alert for work at the weekends.\n\nJust make alot of lists - what you want to accomplish, when, break down large topics. With the personal statement BRAINSTORM!!! The first sentence is usually the hardest to think of. Try a quote maybe. But dont start with 'I' or 'My' eg, 'I would like to study.....' as it just sounds blah!!\nWish her gd luck frm me!!

When you are revising for an exam your attention drops off from the start of the revision session then rises again just before you have planned to finish. So if you are revising for, say, two hours solid, most of that time you are not revising as effectively as at the start and end. \n\nTherefore I always revise for just half an hour at a time (or maybe even twenty minutes), because during that time you are working better. Have a good ten to fifteen minute break between each session. \n\nAlso, repetition is important. When you are at the end of a session go back quickly over everything you have learnt in that session and make notes on it. You can even very quickly (couple of seconds) cast your eyes over those "top-level" notes at the beginning of the next session, just to re-inforce it. But don't go overboard. Just scan them then take say ten seconds to clear your mind and ready yourself for the next revision session.\n\nAlso, conditions and distractions are important. Never "revise with" a friend. It degenerates into socialising. Never revise in front of the TV or with music playing - you need to be in the same conditions as in the exam.\n\nAlso, if you are trying to remember an ordered list, make up a zany list where the words start with the same letters (mnemonics) - Hence: Please Send Large Cows, Milkmaids and Zebras instead of Potassium, Sodium, Lithium, Calcium, Magnesium, Aliminium, Zinc. I learnt that for my "O-level" Chemistry exam decades ago, and still remember it.\n\nGood luck. Plan your revision, work in short chunks, repeat the important stuff by writing short notes and don't waste your time.

Make a revision plan about 6 months before a major exam and start reviewing one topic at a time from then.\nI feel envious of people who just perform well in exams without much real effort (so they say). The rest of us mortals have to follow the revision plan and cover everything as well as possible  in advance of the big day.

Have a summary sheet, it's a revision sheet where you can write the major points on which you'll be asked about on your test. So you can have a look at the very last opportunity before the test. A lot of hard work I know but worked for me.

you should start studying, but like that guy said, plan it out. Get  hold of past papers. Do a timed one, and see what your score is. Go  over your notes to see where you went wrong. Do a past paper every 2 days, you'll improve in your knowledge, improve in  knowing what a question is asking for, and you will know how to do these types of questions come the exam. Good luck.

Well study and review right before the test. It sounds to me that you need some improvement in your study skills! Try writing the info down or typing it out, it might help!

Firstly, you might be desperate but please do not SHOUT in the future, its just plain rude.\n\nSecondly, and in answer to your question... this is what I tell other friends who are studying: take a whole day out occasionally because continual revision is just not going to work.\n\nJust piling your brain up with coffee and trying to remember facts that you have learned, in order to remember them in an exam requires a long time.\n\nYou've said you have a time limit? that is most likely because you didn't plan your revision from the start. Trying to get it all in now isn't going to work. It's causing you stress and that is further blocking you from getting anything done. What you need to do is give yourself a whole day away from anything to do with studies and revision, using that time to de-tox - clear all that caffeine out of your system.\n\nWhen you come back to it, get a friend to test you, learn with you and revise with you, help you revise, because what you have learned is often far more than you realise, and working with company allows you to learn in different ways than on your own.

Be neat when you write.  Use complete sentences.  THINK and show it.  As for study, do it in smaller chunks, like several different times set aside with other activity in between.  Stay at it consistently.

Just spend a lot of time going over it. Make flash cards.  The more you go over it, the easier it will become.  Practice makes perfect.

Have a look at previous question papers. Form a pattern. Read these papers with lotta concentration. Try to get the way how paper setters ask question.\n\ntype of question\nfrom which chapter what topic has more weightage\nhow many marks are given to what chapter.\n\nskip less important chapter if time is less.\n\nALL THE BEST
