What Are The Best Revision Techniques?

Just wondering how to get the best possible grades at GCSE and helpful techniques for revision?

• Answer:

  Well it all depends on how you learn best. Personally, I put post-it notes with little bits of information i need to learn on every surface i see. (The bathroom mirror, the cupboard above my kettle, the wall above my desk). It helps me visualise things better, but there are loads of other things you can do! My friend for example, makes what she needs to remember into small rhymes and songs and sings them to herself in her head. But you can write things out over and over, say them out loud, or even record yourself saying things and play them back to yourself. It all depends on how you learn best. If you remember things better by pictures, draw it out, make diagrams, colour things in, and blue tack it to your walls so you see them all the time. If you remember things by hearing it, say it to yourself. It all depends. Just try to remember, that sitting there reading your text book over and over again and not letting a single bit of information in won't help you revise. Maybe reading works for you, but just don't let it go in one ear and out the other.
