Revision Tips...

Revision can be hard work...to combat this you need to be organised. Organise your revision in the run-up until exams...as time quickly disappears. First, set up and use a revision timetable. Input revision, reading, exam questions and then non-study commitments like your job, shopping, sports etc. Second, ease the revision closer to your exams.

Revision. Revision. Revision. It comes to that time in the Summer that is filled with exams and you have so much to remember. I have made it through, school, college and university so I have a fair bit of experience with exams, and I must say that I am more of a person who prefers to write an ongoing essay or study than to sit an exam! But some things just have to be done, so the more prepared you are the less you are going to stress about it. One of the most important things I think to revising, is to know your learning style.

Stage 1: Make sure you understand all the content you need to Stage 2: Learn all ...  Read the complete review

As Im procrastinating from revising for my dutch exam, I thought I would share my revision tips. When learning a new language, I find its helpful to mutter to myself the answer to questions that your going to be asked in the exams. Then get a helpful friend to read out the questions, (doesnt matter if they get the words a bit wrong) and then its more like a conversation and how it will be in the exam. When revising for a writing exam in languages, I think the best way is to literally write everything out that could come up. Think of all the topics that could be there like food, friends, family, jobs, and then have 4 key sentences that you can ...  Read the complete review
