How do you revise for english exams?

I found exams difficult - so I used to write it down in say 10 points - main subjects of each chapter - make that into a sentence. i.e. the witches, etc.\nWhen you get to the exam write out that sentence and you will have the beginning of your structure.  Then you just put the substance around each each word.\nI did all my revision that way.  (and actually passed!!)

Here's how to feel better as you prepare for your exams:\n\n1. EXERCISE: jogging, cycling, swimming, with or without friends, for just 30 minutes each day.  Exercise is great!  It makes you FEEL GOOD in the brain, it helps you SLEEP WELL, it helps you CONTROL STRESS...\n\n2: SLEEP: try to stick to the same sleep patterns each day.  At least 8 hours sleep per night (e.g. 11pm - 7am)\n\n3: TREAT YOURSELF... if you achieve all the revision you expected to do during the day, reward yourself!  Go to the cinema, eat out with your friends, or just spend the evening chilling out...\n\n4: PLAN YOUR WORK... at the start of each day, plan what you want to get achieved in that day.  You'll feel like you have more control over your work.  Be a master of time, not a slave of it.\n\n5: FRESH AIR and WATER both help.  Open your window in the room where you work and keep drinking water.  2% dehydration reduces your concentration by 20%.  \n\nAll these tips help you feel good and will keep you smiling even when doing the most boring subject of them all.  (English, perhaps?)\n\nGood luck in your exams and remember, there's a long summer holiday to follow!

Practice taking exams.  A lot of bright people do less well than their academic ability would predict because the have problems, not with the material, but with the exam.  For multiple choice exams, you need to go through the questions at a pretty good pace, put down an answer for each one, but mark the ones you are not sure about.  (Don't leave blanks unless there is a big penalty for guessing.)  Then, go back and look at the marked questions.  For essays, you need to write a brief outline and then plow through it.  Leave room between paragraphs, so if you think of something at the end you can stick it in.  Or, if you have to write a paragraph at the end and add a note as to where it belongs.  Be careful, but don't insist on perfection.  It is better to have 5 logically thought out paragraphs with a few mistakes, than 3 perfect ones that leave your argument unfinished.\nFind as similar an exam as you can and try taking it under as similar a set of circumstances as you can.

summarise it on paper.   write 25 words in note form to summarise each page or section.  Then summarise the summary.   Then it will be in your brain.   Read your summary of summary, or maybe the summary itself, two hours before the exam just for a refresher

Well, for one thing, take notes. Keep 'em simple. Like you said, who wants to stare at a textbook for hours and hours? Better to study quick, simple, down-to-earth info. For example, instead of saying "Mushrooms are fungi" you can note down, "Mushroom-fungi". Abbreviate; make your notes as simple as possible yet not too simple. Need to know if something is worth taking notes on? Convert the sentence or info you just learned into a question. If you were a teacher, would you put that on the test? Also, take breaks if you will study for a long time; maybe 15 minute breaks hourly so you're not as bored.

passing ur exam is very easy.. first of all, u need to prepare ahead what the next class the lecturer will teach.So that you can understand better when the lecture teach in class. when you in class, you have to pay fully attention in the class, that means you just kept ur eyes on the lecture. you dont have to write everything that lecture said in class, u just write down the important point on ur notes or in ur text book and extra ponts that dont have in ur text book.Especially, when the lecturer said this point s very important , you used RED PENs to write down and put a big star at the important points that means u have to pay fully attention with this point.Your notes is the most important things in ur studies.so, u have to do it very neatly and complete, that means ur notes must be consist of what teacher have been taught as well as other notes that u found in references books or in internet. And pay fully attention to the diagramme or table that have been given, there r all very important. U have to divide ur notes into 2, that s one for lecture notes and one for ur own. so that, u wont be confusing when u do ur revision.after ur class, u must immediatedly revise and recall back what lecture teach and if have problems, u just straight away go and ask lecture is better as fast as possible, dont ever ever keep it until the exam comes, then u will be burning midnight oil....You must be brave and be good with ur teachers or lecturers.How to revision? U just have to revise what the teacher teach that day as well as the previous things that have been taught by lecturer,recormanded study from the beginning to that day where lecturer have been taught.And, not forget to revise the next class the lecturer going to teach.If u do that way, im sure enough u dun even have to revision when the exam comes because all the things have been stored in your long term memories..And before one or two week before the exam, its the time for u to do excers , do lots of questions..Dont waste a single of time even u r in the bus, just make a small paper write down the points that u wanted to memory and u take it when u r waiting a bus , and that s the time for u to study. u can also use that time, to learn new words or thinking critical problems that u cant slove.IN conclusion, preparation s the most important things in order to get results in flying colours.And remember that knowledge is power, and proper preparation puts you in the most powerful position of all- the winner's seat. And you cant just blindly study hard and not use u cant understand . Remember study smart but not study hard. u have to study in correct method not juzzz study... And one thing i want to tell u is failure is the road to success. So, whenever u get wrong in ur answer or not good in ur results , just take it easily, dun be upset and the most important thing s to find out why u will wrong and do the correction with RED Pen. AND that s not the time to be sad, because that s already a fact. so not do regret next time do something about it... And when u study u must u three things that s listen, see and speak. so, when u study a sub read it out and u listen to ur own voice and at the same time jot down the important points ... then u can memories easier....\nLastly, ALL THE BEST FOR U and do well in ur study.

i normally write things down and that way i take it in better, even if i'm just copying out. If you have past papers for the exam you should write out the answers for them and learn them. This will give you confidence that you can do some of the questions that came up previously. and - Good Luck!

Whatever you do, don't stay up all night before the exams. Make sure you get enough sleep. Focus on the things that you do not know but are not too complicated to learn before the exams, and learn those. Try to learn everything, even if you do not feel sure about it. Some tips for studying:\n-invite a friend over and quiz each other.\n-Use flashcards- they never fail.\n-Have somebody (parent, sibling...) quiz you while you exercise.\n-Make (or ask someone else to make) a small quiz for each subject, and take it until you get all of the answers right. If you are feeling nice, make copies and give them to your friends to help them study.

hey marina\nCHILLAX\n\ni. Revision tips\n\nDevelop a timetable to monitor your progress. Make sure you allocate adequate time for fun and relaxation as well. \n\nWhile revising a subject, practise writing. This would be an actual simulation of the examination itself. Plan your revision and complete it in time. This will give you a sense of achievement and build your confidence.\n\nWhile revising, vary subjects and their difficulty so you don't get bored or disheartened. Set realistic targets of what you can achieve in the time available. \n\nSpend as much time on recall as on reading. Practise by writing answers as you would do in the exam. This will help you remember the important points when you answer each paper. \n\nPractise writing answers under exam conditions. Take three hour tests, without a break in between, preferably at the same time as that of the exam. This will help your body clock adjust to the examination time and conditions. \n\nii. Time out\n\nTo prevent mental fatigue, take a short break as soon as you notice your mind is losing concentration. Stick to activities that do not break your study continuum during these breaks. Avoid television and loud music. You will then be able to come back to your revision refreshed.

Practice makes perfect. \nListen to the key words. \nOnce you learn to stop to think how a word is spelled \nyou should get faster in taking notes. \nTo make sense of your notes, and help you remember, go over them as soon as possible after class and round out your writing then. \nEventually the whole process will become second nature. \nChoose a writing utensil that is best for your speed and the pressure you put on the paper.
