Right, so I'm sitting here with my physics revision book, a big note pad, some pens and highlighters revising some Kinetic theory, temperature and pressure of gasses and I was wondering about people's revision techniques

How do you revise?How effective is it? etc.

I usually reward good revision with junk food haha and yay microwave has dinged

Oh, I might donate some points and give out some rep to revision techniques I think are really pretty good!

Simply turn off the computer, sit in a room alone and get on with it. If I have computer/tv or whatever on I won't do the work knowing me I wouldn't even look twice at it. Write little notes/facts on post it notes and stick them around the house, it'll refresh your memory with it everytime you see it

Do this:
Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire

Then you go through and it should tell you what kind of studier you are. Or at least some clue as to how you can work better.

Work on that?

._. I did this as my essay for college.

I actually have this revision guide thing with tips in:

okay

Top ten revision tips:
1.short spurts of revision (20-25 mins) are most effective. Your concentration lapses after about an hour and you need to take a short break (5-10 mins)

2.Find a quiet place to revise-your bedroom, school, the local library-and refuse to be interrupted or distracted

3.Make sure you don't just revise the subjects and topics you like. Work on your weak ones too

4.Make your own revision notes because you will remember what you have written down more easily. Stick key notes to cupboard or loo doors so you see them everyday

5.Re-write the key points of yuour revision notes, read them out loud to yourself. We remember twice as much of what we say aloud than of what we merely read

6.Us edifferent techniqies. Make your own learning maps, use post-it notes toi write key words on, create flash cards. Record your notes on tape and listen to htem back on your mp3. Ask friends and family to test you. Use highliter pens to mark important points. Chant or make up a rap song.

7.Practice on past exam papers or revision tests available on the web. Initially do one section at a time and progress to doing an entire pasper against the clock

8.You will need help at some stage ; ask parents, teachers, or even friends.If there is a teacher who you get on well with at school , ask for their e-mail address so you can clarify points you are unsure of whilst on study leave.

9.Don't get stressed out! eat properly and get lots of kip!

10. Believe in yourself and be positive. If you think you can suceed you will; if you convince yourself that you will fail that's what will probably happen.

I think number 7 is the best, to do past exam papers, practice makes perfect after all. Also number 9 Tom no junk food

i open the book and read a couple of pages.i close the book and try to remember what i have read. i then look at the pages to make sure im correct. i move on and keep doing that.

ive never tried post-it notes. i might do though.

go to the local library! its so quite and hardly anyone is there so great place to revise

I'm a terrible reviser; I'll do anything to distract myself. I spend about half of study leave panicing and the other half playing Tetris. This has not helped me so far.

I did a course with scwl. You need to make it fun, and it has to be active. They said its good to make little notes. And keep looking over them. Also do a mind map. A spider diagram where you move from each point.

Dont revise in your bedroom, coz your mind know's you sleep and play about there. Nor in a room with a tv, music, pc etc.

Do it in time, 15 mins on 5 mins off. Don't have to long of a break there will be no way you go and do work again.

I'll find my notes where I had all this if you want.
