Revision for exam help!
« on: October 10, 2017, 11:27:42 pm »

Hi Guys,

I'm extremely terrible at chem and averaging around 60% average for SACs. I know if i want a 25 study score (which is what i want), i need a 55/120 for my exam.
I havent started revision at all, what do you guys think is the best way?

Should i watch all of edrolo? (I know that they dont cover everything on the course in detail so that would be worrisome), or read the text book?
Thanks!

Try to do each of the questions in an edrolo topic, and watch the videos for what you didn't know how to do. Then redo the questions.
Once you think you have a good grasp on the topics, do the topic tests, and use those to identify areas to focus on. Then redo the questions you got wrong.
After this you should be ready to start doing exams

Just a suggestion, but I hope this helps :)

I can suggest two main ways to go about revision:

- Construct a comprehensive set of revision notes from the content provided by your teacher or your textbook. Take your time to make sure you understand everything you write/type and paraphrase everything if possible. This is one of the best ways to absorb the required knowledge and make sure you have covered all bases. It is beneficial to even do this multiple times if you have the patience and time.

- Attempt a practice exam in full under stringent conditions. This will help you learn the format of the questions so that you recognise the patterns and expectations. You will also get used to the feeling of being under time pressure and having to work efficiently.
