Unconventional Revision

I have absolutely no motivation to revise, maybe this will help?

4 Legal Ways To Get Free Textbooks.

1. Open Culture:  Not a large a selection, but high quality texts. If you just want to skim a book to brush up on a course you took in ninth grade, download one of these. I have yet to be disappointed.

2. Book Boon: Provides free college-level textbooks in a PDF format. Probably the widest range of subjects on the web. The site is also pretty.

3. Flat World Knowledge: The worlds largest publisher of free and open college textbooks. Humanitie texts are particularly difficult to come by, this site has a great selection in all disciplines.

4. Textbook Revolution:  Some of the books are PDF files, others are viewable online as e-books, or some are simply web sites containing course or multimedia content.

5. Library Pirate: I’ve always had an addiction to torrent based pirating. When this site opened a few months ago, I went a little overboard. After dropping two hundred on a paperback spanish textbook, I downloaded the ebook version illegally. I also got a great Psyc text i’m obsessed with.  It will be interesting to see how this site grows- they already have a great selection.

College bookstores completely rip off their students, so ALWAYS reblog free textbooks!

As promised!

~Please note that I am currently an A level student and I will probably make an updated post once I’m at university studying English lit~

1. Audio books!

I cannot stress this one enough. I am an audio/visual learner and so hearing any texts read aloud is…

My Revision Music.

I sometimes find it really hard to revise to songs that I know well, particularly if they have lyrics because I’ll just start singing along. Therefore I have this regularly updated playlist which contains lesser known instrumentals that are perfect for studying! 

If you want extra relaxation whilst listening, then I highly suggest also using RainyMood for a rain effect over the music that just creates my perfect revision space aurally. Obviously different things work for different people, but I thought I’d share this with people in case anyone was interested in trying it.

Rape of the Lock Context from Oxford Student Book; 58 minutes, 22 seconds.

This was really relaxing since I was listening to my revision playlist with RainyMood overlapping. I felt really in the zone! I’ll make a post linking the playlist soon.

Look Back in Anger Summary; 1 hour, 2 minutes, 29 seconds.

I hate this play. So much.

Another day, another play.

A Doll’s House Summary Notes; 1 hour, 21 minutes, 8 seconds.

I got a little distracted cause I love this play and read a bit of it to make sure the summary was as precise as possible. Accuracy is better than finishing quick.

Summary of Rape of the Lock; 48minutes, 32 seconds.

In case you couldn’t tell, I’m an easily distracted visual learner who is certainly not studying art.

Here is the plan of attack to make sure I get into Uni based on this paper on Friday.

Also hello to anyone who sees this. I'm completely new to this whole 'studyblr' thing - so any advice would be mucho appreciated. I'm just really stressing over the fact I might not get into Uni. :s
