Condense your notes, write only the most important and useful notes on to flash cards and use diagrams and bright colours. Stick them up around the house in places that you walk past/notice every day. Get other people to test you. I really recommend past papers. Do as many as you can and get them marked according to the exam boards mark scheme. This way, you get used to the layout and the type of questions the exam boards will set and you'll know how they want you to answer them. When you get a question wrong, go back and revise your notes on that topic, then attempt the question again. You'll notice that the examiners ask the same sort of question in every exam you do for a particular subject, they just change the wording from year to year.

condense all your notes into diagrams etc and stick them up on the walls absolutely everywhere. It helps me to be rewriting the notes a couple of times although this method doesn't suit everyone. If you get into the habit of reading aloud the key facts every morning and evening it will all sink in (and people will think you're weird but what the hell).

stay off yahoo answers and make notes from good revision guides. i find past papers useful as well as you can revise how to answer the questions. if ure doin ure GCSE's then u shood have done ure mocks by now so that should be revision as well, so u no wot u need to improve on. Good Luck!!!

I'm Crap at revision, so No, BUT I know a brilliant website; www.skoool.ie

Lock yourself away somewhere quiet - no radio/tv/pc - nothing!!! Make notes from your class notes - summary points (this can be hard!! but try to only highlight the most important things - eg dates and a brief sentence to what it relates to - having already learnt your class notes these revision notes will trigger your memory back to the full explanation - if you know what I mean.) Use different coloured pens - this brightens up ur page - doesn't make it so boring and sometimes when your trying to remember something you can picture where and in what colour it is on your revision notes. Read all you class notes through a few times - not all in one go, break up into topics - then match this with your revision notes. Just keep re reading until the summary revision notes trigger of memory of all the important info from the class notes. Make sure you have fully covered all you are required to from the syllabus. Read out loud if you have to - pace around. Test yourself - name a topic and see how much you can write about it then check where / if any gaps lie. Use postits - stick them around the place with important info on them - triggers! Apparently you need to read and re read something at least 6 times for it to be memorised and stay in your long term memory. Don't spend too long though - remember to take breaks every 1-2 hrs i reckon but don't let your breaks be longer than your study time!! Reward yourself for all your hard work - cuppa tea and bar of choccy, a chinese for your dinner, a ciggy if your a smoker - something thats a wee treat!! you feel so much better when all your notes are organised / tidy / in order & summarised - makes the learning so much easier. This may all depend on what subject your revising - I find this works for me I was studying business like subjects/topics such as Marketing / HR / Quality - may not really be appropriate for subjects such as Maths / Science. If your subject has essay type questions for the exam then preprepare some answers going on what tutors have predicted may appear on the exam paper - this is often done by looking at past papers and seeing what usually crops up or what hasn't come up for a while. Studying past papers and practicing with them is also another good revision technique. Make up silly little songs and rhymes for things - if theres something you need to know word for word off by heart then sing it to the tune of your fav song. Make up funny / rude words for things that will help u remember things - something that will make you laugh but at the same time recall the info you need. I had a friend who at exam time kept saying shoot dead nuns - every1 thought she was nuts but each of the letters was the first letter of the name of a drug which she had to remember and learn about - so this worked for her!! Good Luck - I know its miserable having to study over the hols but at least your making the effort and it will stand u well!

study somewhere you feel comfortable, but not so comfortable you'll get lazy. take regular breaks, it keeps your mind fresh. speaking of which, get plenty fresh air when taking breaks. when reading through chapters, it helps to summarise the main points of each page/couple of pages in a notepad, better yet, post-its. this helps you retain what you have just read and reading through them closer to the exam brings back a lot of information. also, keep track of statistics on these, they are handy to have off by heart.look at past exam questions, they will give you an idea what to expect. try answerig some of these, just with bullet points maybe so you can see how you would answer a question. you might like to consider revising with a friend, it could help to clarify some points, also helps when trying to remember if you've discussed it. best of luck.

Different people's minds work in different ways, and a good revision strategy for one person might not be the best for another. I used a strategy similar to the following for the last two exams that I took, in 2002 and 2003. Planning 1. Find out the date of the examination. How many weeks are there before the exam? 2. Find out exactly which topics you are going to be examined on. You may find it useful to look at the Subject Specification from the examination board. These can be downloaded from the examination board website. 3. Decide which topics you are going to revise. You may not have time to revise them all, or you may feel that you know a topic well and do not need to revise it. Conversely, you may feel that you'll never be able to grasp a particular topic. It happens, but don't do this with more than one topic. 4. Now, with the help of a calendar, make a revision plan. Decide when you are going to revise each topic. Start with topics you find easiest and aim to finish revision about a week before the exam. 5. Stick to the revision plan. Revision Sessions There are many different techniques for revising.You might like to experiment with a few to find out which of these work best for you. * Rather than just reading through notes, it can be useful to highlight key points as you read. * Try to summarise a topic in a short as space as possible, such as a side of A4 paper. Record cards can also be useful for this; they are also portable. * Rather than producing a summary after reading through notes, start by writing down all the key points you remember about a topic and then checking these by referring to your notes. * Many good revision guides are available. However, I think it is better to produce your own summary rather than to rely on someone else's. * Some students find mind maps (also known as spider diagrams) useful. I don't. * Looking at questions from past papers can be useful. However, unless time is short, do not rely exclusively on this. Most students will probably use a combination of these techniques. Varying revision activities is likely to make the sessions less tedious. However, I knew a physics student who revised for A' level by copying his notes, word for word. I don't recommend that technique, but it worked for him: he obtained a grade A. The Evening Before The Examination Go to the cinema! Few students take this advice, but I don't think that there is much that can be done at the last minute, particularly if you have revised thoroughly during the preceding weeks.
