Revision

How do you revise? What works for you?

Re: Revision

ummm.... can you elaborate a bit more... in what sense?

Re: Revision

Lets say you read a textbook and need to take as much info in as possible in a field that you know nothing about. Then you have to sit an exam.

Re: Revision

Depends on how much time is avalible. If time is short, i would read the abstracts/summaries of the articles/chapters.

Re: Revision

writing down the notes, just reading them over, and practicing!

organizing it alll into brain :|

Re: Revision

I dunno.. I had never really been a revision person...

always used to study a night before exam and just go-do-it-kindda-person :D

sometimes, I did revise... and it was like flipping the pages and checking them in mind "done, done, yeah, I know, good, done, done, done.."

Re: Revision

Writing notes and then reading them again and again?

What if your memory is not very good?

What about the environment? Whats the ideal environment for revision?

Re: Revision

oh i need music!

Re: Revision

That's talent...passing exams without even revising :D

Re: Revision

Re: Revision

yes:hinna:

Re: Revision

passing with flying colors, may I add *ahem :-p

and for the rest of the subjects?

Re: Revision

Yea taking notes or highlighting the part that u think is important is the key.

Sit in a quite room with normal light and no disturbance.

Make sure u don't eat too much before u do it ... :)

Re: Revision

i do the exact same thing…:smiley: and ofcourse i have to understand the concept/meaning of what i am studying as i can never do raatas :smack:.

Edit: It has to be done in a quiet and organized room.

Re: Revision

or drink :D

Re: Revision

^^ It depends :rotfl:

Re: Revision

But we were brought up with the slogan “Rattafication is the best qualification for examination” :dhimpak:

Re: Revision

Yes I think it is important to understand the concept/meaning. That is why when you do notes you write them in a langauge that you will understand (I think).

Re: Revision

Well ya one other purpose of writting down the thing you are trying to memorize is to get the idea/concept behind it and word it the way you want so that on the exam there are all the more chances that you wont forget what you wrote yourself.

Re: Revision

But than it ends there na at qualifying the exam and later on when you have 2 do job related to what you were taught u end up looking right and left :smiley: lol. I am totally anti-rattafication as i believe it is just fooling yrself and y bother study if it has to be done like that.
