The Fife & Tayside Wider Access Forum has produced a fantastic transitions pack for students at Dundee University with great tips on all aspects of study. This week riskybizzness will be posting up the forum’s tips on Top Tips for Exam Revision
ONE: GET YOURSELF ORGANISED
The key to successful
revision is to be fully aware of what your course is about – this means that
you need to have a full set of lecture notes, handouts and notes from your own
supplementary reading. Once you have all that in place; then you are ready to
begin.
TWO: MAKE LINKS
Go to past Exam papers and
identify the style of questions, the topics that frequently come up and match
these against the learning objectives (or outcomes) of your course and the time
devoted to these topics in the lecture programme. Make a list of these topics
and identify which you have covered in tutorials or assignments. From this list
select the topics that you intend to revise, making sure that you have some
topics ‘in reserve’ so that, should your favourite topics not come up, you
still have options open to you. See:

THREE: THINK AHEAD
Create a blank timetable of
the time you have before your exam. Working backwards from the date of your
exam, plot in other commitments and then block in the time that you have
available to cover your chosen topics. Be sure to leave some time for all the
daily things such as eating, shopping, sleeping and relaxing.
