Every year, millions of students worldwide take tests for many different reasons, ranging in difficulty and importance. No matter how big or small your exams are, it's good to know how to revise properly and effectively. Most people may think it's good to do lots of revision in one day, but this is wrong. For the majority of people, if you revise for too long, you will quit or get sidetracked midway because you are bored. It's important to study for 1- to 2-hour sessions and take short breaks approximately every 25 minutes.
It's also important to know the best methods of revision, what to study and why. You can use flashcards to quiz yourself on information you've already learnt or read books/articles. Also, a good method is to complete an old test paper on your topic, which can help show what your expected grade is after marking it and show what areas you are strong in and what areas you need to work on.
Surprisingly, it is also important to choose what time of day you study. In the morning can boost your focus and memory of what you have already learnt, which means this is a good time for practice tests. At night, distractions and unwanted noise are blocked out, which can boost creativity and consolidation of what you've learnt; it's a good time for flashcards.
If you want to get good grades on your tests, then revision is important for tests, so remember these tips next time. To any and all people doing mock exams and GCSE exams at the moment, good luck to you, and look forward to after these and where you'll go.
