Hi! I've finished making all my revision notes for my exams but now I don't really know how to revise from them. How would you recommend to revise effectively from written notes? I feel like every time I go to revise it's never productive and I'm wasting my time. Thanks
Hi! Here are a couple of things to do:
don’t be a passive studier - if you’re just slowly reading your notes through, it is likely there isn’t much going in. Find ways to memorise the information. For instance, getting a study group together, making acronyms/mnemonic devices, or reading your notes aloud.
compare with a friend - get a copy of someone else’s notes and see if you can add anything important in. I must have annotated my notes about 3 times just finding new ways to connect information. I found it really helpful being able to understand links between topics.
highlight them - a simple one but go through and pick out some of the most important details.
make alternative study guides from them - try summarising your notes into very precise flashcards, mindmaps, or timelines. If you got most of the information already written, you can really just rewrite the absolutely important parts.
use them in practice papers - if you can access previous years exams, do that! Have your notes next to you and try to pull out the most important information for each question. You’ll be able to see if there are any gaps in your notes.
make a study guide - try turning your notes into questions and answers. If your syllabus has premade questions, that is a great place to start.
write essays - even if you use your notes just to scaffold an essay, it is a great to see if what you’ve included can actually sustain a real argument for your exam.
make summary lists - this could be names of people/their roles, important dates, quotes + techniques, vocabulary lists, etc!
cover up and review - hide part of your notes and see how much you can remember. If you really struggle, take a peek and try again.
I hope this gives you a couple of ideas! Best of luck with your revision xx
look, cover, write, check !! is the best method ever in checking what you've memorised !!!

hello my studious peeps and may the fourth be with you! just finished my last ap test, us government, so i thought i’d share some of my notes on the basics. i’m just relieved to finally have this weight off my shoulders and can focus on improving my norwegian and french, both of which have been slacking.
hope you all have a wonderful (productive) may!
