How I Revise

Hello + Welcome back to my blog!

I'm very sorry that I haven't updated in a very long time, however I am back now and with a new post!

Today I want to talk to you about revision, more exactly how I do it. I hope that this post will help you too.

 

I find it the easiest to write down all my notes in a separate project book, this way I do not need to carry all my old class books with me at school. This is a great idea for when it comes to revision, you can decorate the book however you like and however you find it easiest to remember things ( without judgement) This is also great if you're like me and don't write down class work neatly. 

You can also go back and add in extra notes using  post-it notes, this is extremely helpful especially if you forget to add key information. Project books are a lot easier to use than separate notebooks as you can have up to 5 different sections for different topics or subjects.

Making your notes colourful is the way to go, as you do not want to look at black and white pages that seem endless, you will not remember things as easy if you do so. Colour can also help you memorise key things quicker and more accuratly.  

                  

                      

 I use a range of pens, the ones photographed above are simple 0.5mm fine lines from Tiger.

I like to keep these pens with me at all times, for creative use and for notes. These pens are very small, therefore they do not take up much space which is why I can carry them with me at all times. 

I recently brought a pen from Muji, and i'd strongly advise you to do so too. I have always looked for pens which fit me as normal biro pens make my handwriting look scruffy. 

Revision cards are also very helpful as you can test yourself and see what you need to work on.
Revision cards are very cheap and available everywhere, they're also very light wighted.

 I like to use highlighters to highlight the key information, this is very effective as you're more likely to learn something that stands out, which is why you should only highlight the key information.

The project book that I bought comes with sleeves for each compartment. I use them as a place to keep my revision cards that I have made using the notes in that specific section. This way if i do not remember something, i can look at the full explanation.

 I also use a small A5 notebook where I write notes the night before an exam. This way I can flip through the notebook any time I have a spare minute or two before the exam.

Revision shouldn't be left to the last minute, it will bring you too much stress that could have been avoided.

I understand that not everyone will benefit from writing their notes again in different coloured pens, but mind maps are also a very good way to get down all the information you need and have it all in one space.

I hope that this helped,
