Why will this work?
By condensing your notes into these segments, you will think about what is the most important information to remember. Through thinking you will process the information and this will help it stick in your memory.
- Short bursts of 5 minutes are manageable to help you feel like you are being productive.
- Leaving time in between your revision will help train your brain to access (remember) the information more quickly
How?
- Revise a topic and divide it into 8 key areas your need to remember
- Write your topic in the center
- Write out your notes on each of the 8 areas onto the clock below
- Next time your revise set a recurring timer for five minutes. Spend only 5 minutes on the information in each segment before moving to the next when the timer goes off.
- If you don’t remember some information then try to learn that and try again in a few days
