In case you're no longer in university, or high school, or sixth form, or education in general, then you surely must remember those times studying for an exam, or having to churn out homework after homework like a bloody factory.

It is all very annoying isn't it? But when push comes to shove, it does have to be done. So when you're back into a corner, what do you do to study? How do you study? Any tips?

This exam season (which is still ongoing, mind) I've really been taken with studying in the town's central library. It's a fantastic place actually. It's a nice atmosphere to power study and not to mention, a library is a quiet place with very little in the way of distractions. I can't really do much at home, because there's so much technology, distractions etc.. I can't concentrate. Working outside the home actually makes me like doing revision. I feel like I'm going on an adventure, or that I'm making a day of it.

I know, my 'adventures' don't seem very exciting. But hey. And that's just the locale. The actual methods I use vary, but I like little notelet cards that feature as both 'summary' cards and flashcards with a question and answer format. It's cool. There's also the standard mindmap and highlighting trick but you know. It's all personal preference. But what do you like? What do you remember from those heady days of school?

While this is a thread that essentially boils down to revision practises, hey, it's a skill many people lack! Maybe some of those people are you and you might actually learn something.

That's right, you might learn something productive in General Chat!
