Effectiveness of revision lectures

[sugary_sweet]

In attempting to achieve the best mark I can possibly achieve, should I be seeking to attend revision lectures? If you have attended any lectures in the past, to what degree did they consolidate or enrich your knowledge?

(I guess its relative to the individual and the chosen company, but I'm just seeking some insight.)

Thanks for your time!*~  :smitten:

I thought they were quite useful for my mid year exams, in particular TSFX revision sessions. At the time of the TSFX chem revision lectures I knew very little, and I honestly felt that the revision lecture helped me consolidate my knowledge and the very detailed notes were a good base for me to study from.

i reckon the revision lecture at tsfx for psych was pretty good... i rarely did anywork in psychology and achieved 68/100 for unit 3, after going to the exam revision i knew a lot more .


i actually compared my prac exam marks before the lecture and after the lecture.
vcaa exams
before the tsfx lecture
06: 43/90
after the tsfx lecture and reading the note book.
07:73/90
08:70/90

my exam mark maatched some of those who achieved sac scores that were alot higher then mine. [75-90]

I found the exam revision lectures I attended (as in, the GOOD ones) to be very helpful! ^_^

There were a couple of duds in the mix... but if you sift through the advice here on the forums, you may be able to avoid them.

I went to a mid year revision session for Psych run by Access Education. It was about $25 if you booked in a group of 5 or more people.

Although I had already been getting high marks in Psych, I found this lecture quite useful and interesting. The lecturer had some good exam tips that I hadn't heard of before and we got a revision booklet to take home.

I am likely to go one for the end of year exam (Psych) and most likely one for Literature. Our school also runs revision sessions for us and other local schools around exam time - so if your school does this also, I would suggest you take advantage of it!

to make life easier for the ones that can't be stuffed searching around... ... the forums ... i have a general pattern of the companies that are usually good

-tsfx is great for notes
-neap is great
-ae have simply yet comprehensive details of the basic fundamentals in chem which is good

-tssm is not really good from what i hear



-self study is the BEST.

what about VCE seminars ?

Havnt heard of them, are they new?

[ngRISING]

they're new, im trying them for business + psychology.

VCE Seminars are a bit of a worry I think. nothing on their website has been updated for weeks - months for some things - and you can't find out who their presenters are going to be. someone asked a question in their forum about presenters and they haven't even replied to that and  they are still looking for teachers to help them in another place on their site. sounds really disorganised. chris

Depends, if you don't concentrate and listen, it would be a waste of money, even if it is a lecture from the best organisation
