Revision Technique – Left brain? Right brain?

• you tend to live for the moment and not think too

much about consequences. If you’re mostly right brained :

• you like to be creative and imaginative when

tackling tasks.

• you have good ideas about tackling tasks –

but aren’t necessarily good at completing that task.

• you don’t like deadlines and they may cause you

stress.

• you should incorporate videos, graphs, mind-maps,

computers and colour into your studying. A typical Left- brained person’s revision area

How to Revise

What kind of person are you ? Some students are early birds. They will definitely want to use the morning session. Late risers will avoid mornings like the plague ! Night owls will do their best revision in the evenings.

Where should you revise?

• Warm
• Well lit (a reading lamp

reduces eye-strain)

• In a quiet room
• Have a clock or watch

nearby (time your revision sessions).

How should you revise?

Study at the right time and in SHORT bursts

(20 solid minutes followed by a break and then another 20 minutes is FAR better than an hour of staring at a book)

Don’t study in the WRONG place!

When we revise we remember:

20% of what we read 30% of what we hear 40% of what we see 50% of what we say 60% of what we do

90% of what we read, hear, see, say and do!
