Revising for examinations
Have a regular venue for revision such as the library where you are free from
distractions. You should after a while become conditioned to starting work immediately in this
location. Plan out a revision schedule or timetable so you devote enough time to each subject.
Summarise your lecture notes and use diagrams and graphics where appropriate - a
picture is worth a thousand words! Use a highlighter pen or underlining to emphasise key facts.
For last minute revision, make minimal notes occupying no more than a couple of sides of A4
and record key facts, diagrams and formulae.
Use past examination papers when revising to familiarise 'yourself with the sort of
questions that might be asked. When revising, take a few minutes break every so often to clear
and refresh your mind and allow some time off for complete relaxation.
“Well done is better than well said.” Benjamin Franklin or to paraphrase this in modern
terms, "Don't talk the talk, instead walk the walk". Some people constantly talk about the things
they are going to do but then keep procrastinating. Take action if you wish to get results.
A stitch in time would have confused Einstein.
If it weren't for time, everything would happen at once.
