<li>Find a quiet place, with good light and no distractions (mp3- blasting in your head is no good).TV&#8217;s MSN also will not get you your grades</li>
<li>If you have a desk use it.  If not get something to work on.  A tray or board on your lap will do.</li>
<li>Have paper, pens, colours, ruler calculators, revision books, textbooks ready in a box in your quiet place.</li>
<li>When the feeling is right, start revision.</li>
<li>Find a section of work which you reckon will take <strong><em>20 minutes</em></strong> to do.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Scan read as quickly as possible, <strong><em>without trying to remember</em></strong>, all the <strong>bold</strong> words in the text and <strong>headings</strong> etc.</li>
<li>Now comes the Revision Work:-</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Read and make notes on your chosen section of work.</li>
<li>Convert written work into drawings/cartoons.</li>
<li>Convert drawings/diagrams into written descriptions.</li>
<li>Read an explanation or description, then cover it up and try to write it out, check it when you have finished.</li>
<li>Do the same, but say/hear it in your head.Doing this pacing around works for me.</li>
<li>Do the same but see it in your head.</li>
<li>Convert what you know into a Bubble diagram or mind-map,check later to see what you have missed</li>
<li>Revise a question, then set your self a time limit to answer it.  Check later.</li>
<li>Whichever of these ideas you decide to do.  Just do something</li>
<li>Something is better than nothing.</li>
</ul>
<p>Remember only do 20 minutes at a time&#8230;. but don&#8217;t just read through your work/notes/textbook.  Read and do one or 2 of the ideas above !</p>
<p> After 20 minutes &#8211; 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&#8230;..it works.</p>
<p>Practice makes Perfect.</p>
<p>This is my gift &#8211; free, to you.</p>
<p>SMH.</p>
<p>P.S. The only problem is&#8230;. 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.</p>
<p>Alternatively&#8230;. look at this slideshow-&gt;</p>
