1.  

2. Find a quiet place, with good light and no distractions (mp3- blasting in your head is no good).TV’s MSN also will not get you your grades
3. If you have a desk use it.  If not get something to work on.  A tray or board on your lap will do.
4. Have paper, pens, colours, ruler calculators, revision books, textbooks ready in a box in your quiet place.
5. When the feeling is right, start revision.
6. Find a section of work which you reckon will take 20 minutes to do.
7. Show yourself the actual start and end of the piece of work. e.g. the beginning and end of a chapter or text book section.
8. Scan read as quickly as possible, without trying to remember, all the bold words in the text and headings etc.
9. Now comes the Revision Work:-

• Read and make notes on your chosen section of work.
• Convert written work into drawings/cartoons.
• Convert drawings/diagrams into written descriptions.
• Read an explanation or description, then cover it up and try to write it out, check it when you have finished.
• Do the same, but say/hear it in your head.Doing this pacing around works for me.
• Do the same but see it in your head.
• Convert what you know into a Bubble diagram or mind-map,check later to see what you have missed
• Revise a question, then set your self a time limit to answer it.  Check later.
• Whichever of these ideas you decide to do.  Just do something
• Something is better than nothing.

Remember only do 20 minutes at a time…. but don’t just read through your work/notes/textbook.  Read and do one or 2 of the ideas above !

 After 20 minutes - have a 5-10 break, then browse through the work that you did.  Do the same 1 hour later, 1 day later, 1 week later…..it works.

Practice makes Perfect.

This is my gift - free, to you.

SMH.

P.S. The only problem is…. you have lots of 20 minute chunks of work in Geography to go through.   Make a start now for your exams now and in the summer. Enjoy.

Alternatively…. look at this slideshow->
