yeah i've been using highlighters to highlight important information.... and i've found that typing up my notes onto a computer for the exam in question has helped me re-remember what i've written in class... find a revision guide and answer the questions for each section at the end of a chapter.... x

I normally rewrite things in different colours then stick the papers up so I can see them all the time. Everyone learns differently though. I have an exam coming up, I just want to forget about it though and carry on doing wedding stuff :(
CommentAuthorMrs Q - Weegie

I tend to rewrite things over and over til it sinks in - I'm usually there by the third copy! May give the dictaphone thing a go as well! x

CommentAuthorGriff
just keep reading it through and rewrite it in your own words it's not just remembering the information though; if you understand the key points thoroughly it is easier to remember the details :) xx
CommentAuthorgreyarea
One of my teachers once suggested differents smalls and colours use colour like many people have said and spray the papers with a scent then wear that scent on the day of the exam i have never tried it though

My friend used to wear a certain perfume when she was studying then wore that same perfume on the day of her exam - I think it's a pshycology thing. I used to record my notes and then listen to them just before bed. I don't know why it worked but I always remembered my notes after doing it. *Just noticed the post before me mentions this*
CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
Getting your h2b to ask you questions from your notes and books etc also helps. You will then create memories around the questions and answers as no doubt you will remember the look on his face at the time or something he said which will pull back the knowledge that went with that.

What used to help me in my exams was make up stupid words that sound like what your talking about, in my exam i remembered the word and what was attached to it...that always helped me...stupid i know hahaha but it works
CommentAuthorelsie
I used to read and reread my notes, highlight the keywords then put the keywords into a mindmap/spidergram. Hang these like posters on my wall and glare at them balefully every day!
CommentAuthorMrs Q - Weegie
lol thanks 4 all the tips ladies im going 2 make a revision timetable 2night then try a little mix of all your suggestions :D
Im in my 2nd year of a physics degree

You'll get there hun, just take planty of rest in between studying. Short sharp burts are always better than long haul revising. xxx
CommentAuthormelliecake
i'm in my second year too clarabelle, i'm training to become a primary school teacher. i always get carried away when rewarding myself after doing work. it ends up more like 15mins revision, 2hours something else :/ i want to try the record thing but i hate the sound of my own voice.
CommentAuthorMrs Q - Weegie
snap melliecake im not 2 keen on my voice either makes me cringe when i hear it :( lol yea i think ill need 2 be strict on the rewards either that or hide my internet router lol

im in my second year too, but doing nothing as hard as physics, and i dont have any exams anymore lol all my stuff is based on assesment and project work so i have no idea what a proper degree looks like hahha
CommentAuthorruthie87
oo melliecake im in my 4th and final year of my primary teaching degree. at least u dont have many exams its just all those daily lesson plans. but i agree i think u need all the rewards after doin work. hope its goin well for u
CommentAuthorDee
they say the best way to learn is to listen to it while you sleep, i cant say that works or doent work but when i have been studying for a test i seem to do well with bullet points, sum up the important bits to remeber and make them more manageable
CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
With a Physics course def check on the past papers- if they are anything like mine were the questions were pretty similar each year.

CommentAuthorNHR115
Yeah Dove's right, past papers seems to work in a certain order. Our lecturers insisted we check out past papers as one year it would be one questions then the next would concentrate on another question. I think it must be a science thing. lol.
CommentAuthorMrs Q - Weegie
lol yeah, problem being when went 2 get them they said only had 1 year!! lol but im goin 2 start with that then ill know question format n that :) n it will highlight all the things i dont know :(:(

I'm not studying anymore Clarabelle, I'm in my second year of a pharmacy PhD but my undergrad degree is in forensics. I'm still technically a student but I get a salary. lol.
You'll be surprised at how much you do know hun. When are your exams?
CommentAuthorNHR115
I've just noticed your from Paisley, what uni do you go to? I'm at Strathclyde.
CommentAuthorMrs Q - Weegie

CommentAuthorNHR115
Forensics is great but it's become so popular with CSI etc. There are no jobs out there in it either. When I graduated I applied for something like 70 forensics related jobs and didn't even get one interview, it was soul destroying.
UWS is a great uni, we have a campus just near us in Hamilton too.
CommentAuthorMrs Q - Weegie
yeah i heard that with the jobs nt good :(
Yeah i like it so far my year is gr8 as theres only 8 in it lol so we get good attention ect from lectures :) I always think of it as in paisley they kno our names wereas strathclyde wed prob be a number if that makes sense... lol
there was a big increase in physics students this year right enough must be gettin more popular they went from having 12 in our first year to 55 this year.
do you live out hamilton way then? were abouts are you getting married?

CommentAuthorNHR115
You're right there, there are thousands of students in the pharmacy courses alone. I loved being in small classes too, you feel like you're being taught properly. You must be one brainy lady, physics is tough. I do a teeny bit of physics but i'm no good at it. lol.
I live in Motherwell but i'm originally from Fife. Moved here in October as my other half is at Motherwell College. I used to commute to Glasgow but Neil can't handle the commute hence the move. lol. I'm not complaining though as my commute is reduced from 2 hours to 15-20 minutes. lol.
We're getting married at Balbirnie House in Fife. Where are you getting married?
CommentAuthorMrs Q - Weegie

The Ramada Jarvis is stunning, I pass it in the morning on the bus :) It's in a great location too so no worries there. You've not got long to go until your big day either :)
You'll do great in your exams, have faith :) I'm invigilating for first years tomorrow and I can imagine they're going through the same worries as you are right now. I kind of miss the stress of exams, that sounds weird I know. lol.

When I got my graduate job I really missed not having something to do at night, I was bored senseless. lol. I work really well under pressure, too well. lol.
It's scary how quick the months come in, I remember when we first got engaged and we had almost 2 years, now we're down to almost 1 year. I need a second job. lol.
