Top Revision Tips
Revision for your exams can be really
tricky, for some people it seems to come naturally and to others it’s much more
of task, to some people though, it can be like hitting your head off a brick
wall! When you get to the point where you feel like nothing more will go in.
Stop what you are doing, sit back and have a look at these top tips on some
effective revision techniques that really work.
Stop!
If you are having trouble concentrating,
or feel you have
writers block when essay writing, simply stop what you are doing. There is no need to
fight a situation when you just can’t win. Leave the studying for half an hour
or so, go and do something that is not too mentally stimulating and after a
while, you will see, your creativity and deep intellectual thoughts will just
come flooding in! At this point, run back to your desk and note everything
down!
Don’t
Live Under a Rock
If you feel you have to corner yourself
in your room with no light or distractions from friends or family, especially
if those friends tend to be a bad influence, you could be wrong. You need to
discuss your study worries with your friends and piers, especially if they are
on the same course as you. Simply the feeling that someone else is in the same
boat is often comforting enough to inspire you to power through. If you are
having trouble with the grammatical side of your work though there are loads of
online guides to
help such as Best custom essay
for example.
Live
out Your Work
A big problem for many subjects,
anything from philosophy or politics to biology and media, is that they can become
too theorised. When you stop imagining your subject as a real life scenario, it
simply becomes an abstract paradigm in your head. Examining the effects of
extreme left wing politics on the people held under those restraints for
example, brings a subject to life and gives a real human face to something that
has until now remained within the realms of your mentality only.
Get
an Early Start
It may sound boring but the best time to
take in information is the morning, after a balanced breakfast of course. So
get the coffee on the boil and motivate yourself to jump straight into your
work. Just think, by mid-afternoon, all of your revision will be done and you
will have time to relax.
