    Ok so I have a few exams coming up in the next couple of months and I haven't gotten around to revising, I'm scared because I know im a lazy person and I know I will fail if I don't do anything. So I need to come up with a plan, therefore I ask: How do you guys revise?

    i invite a friend over and we work together :), its hard to work by yourself, you cant have someone depending on you to focus

    What subjects do you need help with? Anyway, CGPs are pretty handy.

    When i study for science..i just..try and memorize it..well maybe because im still in 7th grade, science is pretty easy to remember..For me, if i can memorize them, im all good.

    Lol, everything is easy in middle school :P I never studied during MS but then again I still don't study very often xD Idk what science you are taking but I'm finishing up chemistry right now, when I study I gather up all my class notes and reread them obviously and usually there will be problems that I copied down from the board. So I recopy them onto another paper and try to do them without my notes. I find that useful cuz then I can figure out which things I'm bad at. If you have alot of time I know recopying your notes helps as well If you're in some science like bio where it's just memorization I can't really help you :/

    I study differently for different subjects :\ Reading over your notes and then explaining the concepts aloud to yourself works pretty well for most subjects.

    I'm done with high school, I always memorized things pretty easily, one way to remember things is to read and summarize important things then reading them over and over and for formulas, memorize them by how they are read out loud and if you dont know how to solve a specific formula like in physics or chemistry, then find out soon and practice ahead of the test/exams

    Maybe I should be studying for the AP test that I have to take in twelve hours instead of reading a thread on how to study...

    one thing I use to memorize things is to make a funny and completeley stupid connection to it. its so stupid/funny you'll never forget it! Ex. Gregarious means loud. i had a friend named greg. and he just wont shut up. raconteur means story teller. I remember this tour we had that had a tourguide that told us stories about like raccooons or something. yeah. its stupid
