HOW TO STUDY EFFECTIVELY
Have you ever wondered whether or not you are revising effectively, or whether or not you are making the best use of your time?
Wonder no more!
The following videos provide you with all the information you need to effectively revise for exams. The strategies mentioned are based on the best research available, and have been shown to work for all pupils, regardless of their perceived ‘learning style’. The most important strategies are the first two: spaced practice and retrieval practice. These have been shown over many years of robust research to be essential elements of effective revision, and to answer the two most frequently asked questions about revision:
· When should I study?
· How should I study?
Applying the wisdom of spaced practice will help you to create an effective study plan that prepares you well for an exam, without sacrificing a decent sleep the night before! Retrieval practice is a simple and easy-to-implement technique that you should engage in every time you study.
Elaboration, concrete example, and dual coding provide additional techniques that should only be used in conjunction with retrieval practice.

All the very best for your studies!
