Tips on How to Survive the Exam Season
My first tip is to prepare yourself for revision. During the term, you must have gone to the lectures and taken a lot of notes. These are the first steps in learning. Now, at the end of the term, gather all the notes you took and run through them quickly. While doing this, keep asking yourself, “Do I understand what I am reading?” If yes, great. If not, you have to spend some time understanding them before the exams take place.
My second tip is to plan different types of revision in order to study more efficiently. Even if you are interested, everyone gets bored after a couple of hours of studying. Something that really helps is to plan different types of activities while revising. You can switch between study and exercise so you won’t get bored and it’s easier to study for a longer period of time.
One thing that can really help you to memorize your study materials more easily is to make the facts more related. There are many different ways to do so. I’m going to give you two examples and the first one is to create pictures in your mind while studying. This can be really helpful for studying history, for example. The second method, especially for learning new words: Try to make yourself familiar with new words by looking for the ones that look alike.
