Exam revision approach

Just curious, once you guys have done a trial exam and corrected it, what do you do with it. I know people make sure they know how to do what they got wrong correctly, and record errors in log books and such, but do you guys occasionally go back and go through that particular trial exam or do you just leave it and never return?

Hard work pays off. If you don't think so, you're not working hard enough.

i usually leave it and never return (well thats what i did last year anyway). I think it's best to redo questions u got wrong when its in the final week before the exam. In the meantime just keep doing exams. I guess everyone has different opinions when it comes to this :)

I like to write down what I have learnt from a trial exam/a particular hard question rather than redo it.
Usually there is something that you didn't quite understand before hand that led your to not be able to do a particular question.
E.g. Weak acids undergo complete reaction with strong bases
Don't assume that..........

When you run out of exams you can still go back to the ones you've done before. It's unlikely that you'll remember every single question and answer anyway.

Circle or highlight the question you got wrong, use the book to correct your answer. Maybe if the time arises when you run out of exams refer back to all your mistakes and attempt them again.

I complete the practice exam in exam conditions. When I am done, i spend the same amount of time correcting it and adding stuff i didn't know to my error book. :)
