Revision is important part of exam preparation and after completion of syllabus every student does this. Some do it many times , some just manage it one time before the D-day. So which ever group you are in, this tips from my own experience will surely help you and increase revision effectiveness.
1. When revising make it a point that u do it thinking that this is the last time you are revising before the D-day. This helps as it accelerates you and your minds takes extra effort to remember the stuff that you read and works better as it removes the sense of monotomy that comes while revision. If you can truly believe that this is your last revision then your mind reacts favourably and achieve more.
2. To keep the matter fresh in your mind, repeat the thing in mind after you have done the revision. Remind yourself what you read. Don't go in to specifics and don't torcher you mind just remember what you can and most importantly relax and do it.
3. Another step that I use while revising is the use of a copy and pen and I begin explaining the stuff I read. This way I teach myself and this works fine for me as I cover all the important points and also notice what are the places where I need more effort.
4. More the time that you spend thinking of the topic you have read and what it means to you in the big picture, the more easily u will remember it so after the detail do look into the big picture and revision time is the right time to do so. For example reading and learning about cam and how to derive velocity, acceleration is great all great but when you see the whole picture as to where the thing is used and why the calculation of this acceleration and velocity is important, you will truly grasp the subject and your interest will be piqued and which in turn will translate into good memorisation and understanding.
so this are some of the tips I use. Use them and all the best.
