You know, our summer exams are at hand. Someone may have already started to prepare for it, someone doesn’t care at all. By the way, all of us will take them. Here are 10 revision tips for preparing to the exams. 1) Make a plan Look at your work, realise what you need to learn and divide it into topics. Don’t just stick to what you’re good at (and find easy to remember). 2) Don’t do an elaborate plan There’s no need to use all the colours in the rainbow. This is a waste of time. 3) Get going It gets easier once you actually do something 4) Revise in the best way for you The most futile way of revising is to sit down and read. It’s so passive that after about five minutes you will probably have switched off. Find something that works for you — if you need to walk around, do so. If you need to tell the cat about Stalin’s Russia, do it. Or if you just need to sit at your desk making notes, do that instead. 5) Test yourself Get hold of past papers and involve friends and parents if you need to. Saying answers out loud may help you to imprint them on your brain. 6) Find out about anything you don't understand And don’t just learn it by rote. Ask someone to explain it to you (may be your professors are eager to help you). 7) Take breaks But make sure that they’re shorter than the time you spend revising. 8) Eat properly and get some sleep When you are in the process of learning you often need to chew something. It should be grapes, apples, oranges instead of chocolate and cookies. Think not only about exam but about your body. 9) Take physical exercise It makes the brain more receptive to learning. And helps your body to be restored after 5 kg of chocolate with cookies))) 10) Remember to turn up Check when and where your exams are. Don’t let that revision go to waste.
