Revision tips

With my GCSE's this year I obviously knew that I would have mocks, but I didn't think they would be this trying. It's the fact you have so much revision to do in little time. I hate revision. It's a thing that I can't be bothered to do, like homework. It's just so boring. However, with the fact I want to do well, I have started to revise and these tips work for me. So here are my top 5.

1. Start early.
What I mean by this is not 6 in the morning, but around 12 (after lunch). You may be thinking that's not early, but with step 2 it should explain why it's okay.

2. Don't do any more then 2 hours with 10 minute breaks.
This means if you start at 12 you will have enough time to go out for the night.

3. Make revision cards.
If you were to just write full sentence you're not going to be able to remember everything. Making little cards will be useful to take with you anywhere so you can go over the main points. Also little cards are a lot smaller to carry than big thick books.

4. Use colours.
This to a lot of people may be stupid, but really it's great. The colours help things standout, but mainly I use them as a key to link things together. Also, it makes things neater and fun.

5. Stick revision notes around the house.
I love this idea as you could be putting your shoes on and be reading something useful. This works well as it means you could revise at anytime and anywhere in the house. If you put them in common places as well, you're more likely to remember them because you will read them more.
