Leicesterboi Posted 4 June 2005 Posted 4 June 2005 I am aware that a few of the younger site members are having their GCSE's over the next few weeks. I was just thinking that if you post how you revise you may help other young Leicester fans succeed in their exams. I personally struggled to revise but just read through my books which wasnt all that great. How did everyone else do it?

How did everyone else do it? 119257[/snapback] Not my GCSE's but I have got an exam coming up on Friday, because on my Apprenticeship i'm on my second year, although i've not even passed my first year Some dickhead from the exam board thought it would be a good idea to arrange the exam last year on a holiday where the college was shut and it was a time when people generally go on holiday around that time, which ment to college opening for 1 morning just for 1 groups 1 exam, as you've probably guessed me and 2 other in my group we're on holiday at the time and so we couldn't do the exam so I now have to go and do the exam this year with this years first year apprentices But I don't know how I stand if I fail the exam because I have done the second year exam and passed 100% (Me + Exam + 100% = Nah...) so whats gonna happen if I fail the first year exam? However i'm hoping I don't fail Anyway, How have I revised? Erm...I havn't started yet
Guest freund Posted 4 June 2005 Posted 4 June 2005 when revising i recommend that you take a break every 40 minutes for like 15-20 minutes or so, and when you come back, you test yourself on the last 40 minutes. i got 13 A*s at GCSE by the way
Leicesterboi Posted 4 June 2005 Author Posted 4 June 2005 Is this you being your usual controversial self Freund or are you being genuine?
Guest freund Posted 4 June 2005 Posted 4 June 2005 oh no i'm being controversial, taking breaks will actually ruin your revision

Benji Posted 5 June 2005 Posted 5 June 2005 still pretty dam good for sure! i revise from test papers more than books then mark it and you really understand what the questions/examiner wants of you and you can see patterns in what will come up/what sort of answers they are looking for
Stuliasz Posted 5 June 2005 Posted 5 June 2005 Having been through GCSEs, A Levels and this my fourth set of university exams, I'm in no doubt the most effective way to revise is questions, questions, questions. Reading through notes, books etc. is nowhere near as efficient way to learn as doing the questions, whilst referencing to the notes to help you answer the questions. First point of call has to be past papers, then also any other question sheets or anything you may have been given throughout the course.
