Blurting

[dcesaona]

Hey, does anyone else find this revision/memorisation technique really good??? It's called 'blurting' where you get a piece of paper and write down absolutely everything you know about one dot point, then go back to your notes and see what you missed. Does anyone else do this??? I want to know I'm not the only one hahaha

Yes! I absolutely did this - was one of my favourite study techniques haha. I found it was really good for working out the areas I was weakest on.

Yeah, I did this mainly for  Ancient and Legal on my whiteboard. I'd write everything I knew in one colour and then everything I missed in another one.

I didn't actually use blurting to study per se. I actually used it to sort out the mess of thoughts in my head - everything from what I needed to do to random thoughts.
Whenever I couldn't actually get myself to do anything, I'd spend 5 minutes just writing everything important I thought about and another 10 allocating them into categories and proper to do lists and such. It helped me to become more productive sometimes.

^ Yeah same, everyone above.  Glad, I'm not the only one

I just get out a pen and piece of paper, read over my notes, try and memorise them, then take away my notes and write absolutely everything down onto a piece of paper. It helps me draw connections, write up things that are in my head and not in my notes,

Especially, as I'm a kinaesthetic and visual learner, it helps me memorise when I write everything down and look at it in my own handwriting. It's weird but it really works!
