Learning formulae and brief facts - Start learning formulae early in your revision and learn one at a time. Write the information out in colour on a card and stick it somewhere prominent, e.
Look at it every time you pass by. Test yourself. If you know it then put another formula in a different colour by the kettle and add the old one to a pile that you test yourself on regularly. Mnemonics - These can be a useful way to learn facts. Use the first letter of each word to create an easily remembered phrase or word e.
Using music - if you're good at remembering song lyrics, you might try choosing a song and replacing the lyrics with the formulae or phrases you need to remember. The revision cycle.
To get the most from your revision, test yourself again and again but with increasing gaps between tests:. If you can't remember the information at any point in the cycle, go over it again briefly and then go back to 1.
Practice planning lots of answers to old exam questions. You don't have to write the answer out in full. Practice plans will get you used to interpreting questions, then choosing and ordering what you know in order to answer them. During the exam this will help your ability to retrieve information quickly and see how to apply it to the particular question. During exams stay calm. If you can't remember something move on to another topic.

Effective revision is not something that can be rushed. The earlier you start and the more organised you are, the greater your chance of success.
Try and revise in the morning as this is when your brain is fresher. Find out the format for your exam as this will determine how much of the syllabus you need to revise. Short, answer-based exams will require a broader, yet less detailed, understanding of the syllabus. Construct a detailed revision timetable, including any relevant papers or notes you need to look over.
Block out time for socialising, exercising and any other breaks or plans you might have. Stick to this as best you can and avoid the temptation to jump straight into your revision without one. There are various revision techniques including flashcards, past papers, mind maps, group work and recording yourself talking and playing it back.
There's an element of trial and error to finding what works for you, and bear in mind what works well for one exam may not be the best method for another. All the more reason to start early, as you need to take time to find out how you revise best. Eating a healthy, balanced diet will leave you feeling more energetic and focused. While revising, it can be easy to end up surviving off excessive amounts of coffee and junk food.
This may be less time consuming but junk food leads to dips and spikes in blood sugar and too much caffeine can make you anxious — both of these will affect your concentration and energy levels. Exercise gets the blood flowing and makes for a nice respite from studying. Popping to the gym, playing team sports with friends or even going for a nice walk means more oxygen will reach the brain and help it function better.
Starting early allows you time to really learn the material and understand it rather than just memorising information for the sake of the exam. Having this extra time will also mean you actually start to enjoy your study sessions as instead of panicking to remember everything, you can read and learn the context of the subject material in your own time.
Not only will you have a changed attitude but you might not dread the thought of revision! Not only will cracking on with revision early mean much less stress and anxiety the week before the big day, but will also mean you head into your exams calm and with a clear state of mind. Having time on your side means that you can explore a whole host of different revision techniques rather than just sticking to one that might not be working out so well.
You might start by writing out your notes, then typing them up, as repetition can be an excellent and effective way to absorb information.
