The Lighthouse

The thought of revising a whole course can be very daunting. To make it more approachable, it can be a good idea to break it down into smaller (more manageable) tasks. Here is one way to start breaking your revision down into smaller tasks:

• Make a revision plan – make a timetable and come up with a list of topics you need to revise.
• Collate the information you’ve collected over the course of the semester (lecture notes, notes on readings etc.)
• Summarise the different topics
• Memorise your summaries
