How to Revise Effectively
Before you begin…...
✓ Find a suitable place to work which is peaceful.
✓ Ensure you have all the equipment you need at
the start.
✓ Ensure you don’t have distractions, put your
phone out of the room.
✓ Revise in 45 minute blocks then have a 15
minute break.
1) Recalling Information (Retrieval Practice)
X Don’t just re-read information
X Don’t just highlight your notes
✓ Summarise the information you need to learn.
✓ Read your revision notes, cover them up
and set a ten minute timer and write down
as much as you can about the topic.
✓ Do use quizzes and the help of
other people to test your knowledge
and memory.
1) Recalling Information (Retrieval Practice)
2) Dual Coding
✓ Do use dual coding when you have text
heavy notes that could be represented
visually.
✓ Do try to come up with a variety of
different ways to represent information
visually, e.g. timelines, diagrams, flow
diagrams, cartoon strips, etc.
✓ Do remember to try and recall these
diagrams during retrieval practice.
3) Spacing and Interleaving
✓ Do create a revision table where
each subject or topic is spaced out.
Each time you return to the topic,
you will remember more and more.
✓ Do interleave 2-3 subjects in a day
or week.
So, what can you learn from this?
✓ Retrieval is the key - make your brain work and
then it will remember the knowledge.
✓ Test yourself and get others to test you - make your
brain work and then it will remember the knowledge.
✓ Change text into a range of diagrams - make your
brain think.
✓ Plan ahead so you can space out revision for each
subject and you can revise a few subjects each day.
