Revision

Organising Your Study

1. Sort out topics for revision.
It is usually unrealistic to cover everything but your selection of topics needs to be based on the syllabus and examination requirements. Familiarise yourself with past exam papers which can be found on the LSE Library website.
2. Devise a Routine
Make sure it's realistic with suitable rest intervals and proper attention to diet, sleep and some time away from study.
3. Breakdown targets into manageable units.
A checklist for the day's targets, provided they are achievable goals, can boost your morale.
4. Be flexible - not all your time spent studying will be equally productive.
Deal with less demanding tasks in periods of the day when you are less alert and focused.

Learning Strategies

1. Actively interact with the subject matter
Make it your own and it will become more meaningful and memorable. Try using keywords, patterns and flow diagrams both for revision purposes and for jotting down ideas and planning answers during the examination
2. Index sized cue cards are easy to carry around for frequent revision
They are useful for recording information that you find particularly hard to remember.
3. Display information on wall charts around the room
This can help you visually remember facts, figures and formulae - use colours, keywords, mnemonics and other memory aids.
4. Spaced Learning
For more efficient study, "spaced" learning is more effective than "massed" learning, as it has more time to sink in; revise related topics together; and take regular breaks at suitable "achievement" points.
5. Practise answering past exam questions
Try doing this both in skeletal form to make sure you bring together all angles and features of a topic, and then under exam conditions - primarily to help reduce stress and pacing problems later, not to undermine confidence.
6. Compare notes with other students and obtain feedback or clarification from tutors.
