If you think this description fits on you should revise constantly. Constant revision is for you very important because if you revise step by step you do have to worry before exams because you already did most of your work. In addition to that it is proven that you remember things easier if you revise it step by step every time after a lesson than everything in a short time before your exams.
2, Concentration
Concentration during revision is really important. One thing is for sure: If you cannot concentrate, you cannot learn! Your concentration depends on various things.
One of these things is your environment. If you work at home your working table has to be tidy. Everyone knows how difficult it is but it is really important because if you do not have any stuff that deflects you, you just have to concentrate on your school work. You also have to be consistent with yourself. If you work on your computer it is really easy that you get distracted by the internet and then you prefer to check your mails instead of revising for History. In the morning when you stand up, during study leave for example, you need to make sure what you want to revise or which prep you want to finish today. If you have clearly a clearly focused strategy for the day, your work would not be a problem of you anymore!
3, Time management
Time management is an important factor as well. Everyone knows that out time is scarce and because out time is scarce we have to use it usefully. You just do not have enough time to spend your whole day for revising so you have to spend it in a way where you can get most out of it. Let me explain it to you with a soupcon of economics. An economist would say that our time is a scare resource. Scarcity is in our economy very important and economists (and also other people of course) say that you just can be at one place at one time. So you cannot split yourself. In addition to that if you decided to revise you should try and get so most out of it. So take your books and your folders and revise with all your concentration because only in this way you can get most out of it!
4, Environment
As you all surely know is our environment another key factor to learn successfully. If your working place is nice and tidy and only important stuff for school is on it you will have more success. You do not have any stuff that distracts you and you can use all your time for revising. If it is tidy you do not look around for stuff on your table and so you can concentrate on your work.
5, Breaks and subject changes
I know that it sounds a bit strange but breaks are really important during revision. It is like in sports. If you ran a long distance in a quite high pace you tired and for example thirsty and you want to rest. If you learn and revise with lots of concentration you are tired as well and your brain wants to rest and want to do something different. That is why we need to change our subjects. Every human gets bored if he did the same for a long time. If you play a same computer game a long time, you get bored. If you watch television the whole day, you get bored. It is with your work the same. So change about every 2 hours the subject you are working on.
All in all I hope I could give you some advice on how you can get most out of your work. I know (and teachers know as well), how difficult it is to learn really intensive but I hope with my hints you know now how to “LEARN SUCCESSFULLY”!
