Revision and Exam Tips, and My Study Experiences

Tips I mentioned:
1. Watch other revision tips videos!
2. Get a separate revision notepad and lots of colourful felt tips
3. Sort all your notes and papers into sections/topics/modules
4. If you find it hard to revise at home, get to the library! Take a friend if you don't want to go alone.
5. Get all your distractions (Facebook/Twitter/Blogs/YT/Tumblr) out the way early in the day!
6. Don't depress yourself! Revise when you know it's the best thing to do
7. Make a list of all the little steps you need to take for each subject and chop and change- remember to tick each thing off!
8. Do the recommended reading and beyond.
9. Find out the exam style and how to get the best marks- new journals? historical knowledge? original ideas?
10. Get a dictaphone
11. Get good food for brain power! Have treats too to keep motivation up.
12. Get enough sleep- not too much, not too little.
13. Condense all your notes into readable chunks
14. Make yourself questions on flipcards so you are actually learning what you are revising
15. Do the practice exam questions and ask if you can show them to your teacher/lecturer
16. Answer the question, don't just write everything your lecturer has taught you. Be critical.
17. Do your research and back up points- don't assume anything.
18. JUST DO IT! Do that little bit that you know you will have to do eventually, and then worry about the rest after that's completed. Just keep repeating this step!

:) good luck, you can do it!xx

This video was so helpful! How would you recommend a uni student oragnising themselves? Like how to store lecture notes and revision notes, are folders for each module best or a fold up folder?

@aliyaaaahhhhh hi doll! thank you! i think you cannot have enough folders and plastic envelopes as there are so many paper hand outs! keep folders at home and each day, review the notes you made in the lecture, staple them to any handouts given out , and store them in order xx
