When the exam bells are about to ring, students will be leaving no stone unturned to score good marks in the competitive examinations. Most of the students will be putting their best foot forward to complete the syllabus during the last phase of preparation. This is not encouraged because no one can master all the topics during the final days. Instead, it is advised to draft a new study plan for revision.
Be it academic or competitive entrance examinations, revision is very important during the last days that boost confidence. Many students start their revision during the last days which is a wrong practice. The ideal time to start revision part is at least two weeks before the exam. Here, we discuss some important techniques in revision that help to stand out in the examinations.
Rather than putting all the efforts in practising the syllabus, try to figure out what are the weightage topics in a subject. A few topics might be beyond your understanding while revising because of no clarity over the concept. Try to leave and proceed to other chapters, if so. After revising the topics meticulously, make some time to revisit to gain confidence.
The revision will provide more benefits when we allot more time. In order to devote more time for revision, one should finish the syllabus preparation early for which effective time management is required. If the competition for the examination is massive, it is advised to start the revision at least a month before.
No two individuals are alike in this universe. When it comes to revision, try to figure out what are your strengths and weaknesses because everyone has their own unique style of learning. Some students might be quick learners and complete the exam preparation within a month. While some take months for the same. Hence, we advise aspirants to assess their own skill set and start drafting the plan for revision accordingly.
Many people suggest a lot regarding the learning environment. Accept all the suggestions and opt for the one which suits you. Try to create a perfect learning environment that helps during the revision such as posters and charts.
A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. Be committed towards your goal and try to meet the daily targets set by you in the exam preparation schedule. Revision alone cannot help you without a proper concept preparation. Be strict on the time management and try to keep the social media at bay till the exam date.
One time revision may not be sufficient for some entrance examinations due to the competition. Hence, one should revise the concepts or topics at least for two or three times or until you gain confidence. The back to back revisions not only help to gain confidence but also clarity over the concepts.
One should know where they stand in the competition while preparing. During revision, appearing for a couple of mock tests displays where you lack in the examination. Try to minimise them during revision.
