RE: Revision Tips
Thanks for all the useful advice, I have already put some of it into action even the Rosemary (never used it before in my life). I went into the town on Saturday morning and it took me a while to find some but I found it and then sat in the garden with my revision and had the occasional waft of it.

Hi
Brilliant tips, thanks. I used rhymes, paper muscles stuck on a cardboard skeleton, loads of key things (like mitosis on the cooker hood) where i would be constantly exposed to them. I also quizzed myself silently during journeys, & of course the questions on here were invaluable.
One 'tip' I haven't seen mentioned (will definitely try the question/answer cards next time but came upon it too late for A&P!!), is trips to museums. At total saturation point, some of us went to the Hunterian Museum in Lincolns Inn Fields, London WC2, just round the corner from Holborn tube.
An amazing collection, particularly useful for the visual learners out there. I did find some of it slightly alarming!

RE: Revision Tips
Hello
Thought that I would throw a few ideas in the melting pot. Some things to consider when carrying out your studies.
- Set yourself some goals for the study session, this sets the RAS into action.
- Have everything you need at hand and avoid any distractions.
- Study in 20 minute chunks, the adult brain can only stay focused on learning for this time. It also improve the abilty to take in information as a result of the Primacy and Recency effect.
- Use Mind Maps for making notes, very good for subjects such as A&P.
- Make up question and answer cards. The postcard sized file cards are good for this, you can also use different coloured cards for different subject areas.
- Make audio tapes of your questions and answers, think like an exam question writer, there are only so many questions that can be written about a particular subject. Audio tapes are great for revision when having some down time. (Repetition is the mother of skill).
- Use your diary to make a revison plan, often this part of studying is neglected. A suggested revision plan would be to revise each area of study after the following timescale: after 10 minutes, 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year. Each revision should only be for about five minutes. The Q & A cards are great for this.
Use self hypnosis to relax before your study session, this will allow you to start your session with a calm and relaxed frame of mind.
Keep the vision of the end result in mind, focus on what you want, not what you do not want. The result we get tend to be what we consistently focus on.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Peter
