Rewriting helps the brain to learn and synthesize the prices of the year. Here’s how to memorize your files as exams are approaching.
Make revision sheets helps synthesize their courses and bring out essential ideas. A practical and effective method for students who pass the patent or bac this year, and who stress at the idea of not knowing everything at the fingertips. Here are some rules to follow to make good review sheets that will allow you to arrive Zen on the day of exams.
The idea is to retain only the essential. You can for example register history dates, vocabulary in English or math formulas, theorems, definitions of “style figures” that you will have to learn by heart. For your French or philosophy sheets: register the main information of an author or the characteristics of the different literary currents (romanticism, naturalism …) for example. Good to know: to see more clearly, make a sheet per subject and do not multiply the files: reserve them with essential themes.
Appropriate the subject: Rather than following the structure of your course to the letter, regence the info, group together those that seem linked to you, add examples and anecdotes, make a different layout of the course or rephrase ideas with your own words. Because to assimilate a lesson, the best is to appropriate it. Please note: your review sheets should not replace courses which are much more in -depth: they are simply tools to help you remember the most important points and key ideas.
Personalize your review sheets
On the top of each sheet, register the name of the material and give it a clear title. Do not write sentences, but rather points with keywords and clear and synthetic information. Use different colors to better locate, highlight the most important information and make diagrams, especially if you have a good visual memory. A clear, ventilated, colorful and well -organized sheet will be more pleasant to read and memorize.
The right format of revision sheets
Since the revision sheets are carrying out from bag to bag and handle, they must be solid! So take bristol (cardboard) cards from different colors to clearly distinguish each material (green for SVT, blue for geography, yellow for mathematics …) and size A5. It is a practical format and large enough to note all the key points.
