The Revision Problem

Exams coming up soon at uni.

Question is, do i revise like a trooper during the the time leading up to them or do the red bull method of night-before revision thats proven to be a winner in the past?

Did this all through my A-levels and it kinda worked.

What's your approach to Revision?

Re: The Revision Problem

If your exams actually count, then it's probably worth doing some work, or all (any?) or the time you've spent going to lectures etc. will be a waste.
if they don't count, or "just have to pass", then if you are after a blue-chip job when you graduate, they'll probably want to see your results anyway, so you better work. If they don't count, and you don't have particularly high career aspirations, then **** them.

Did the night before approach in first and second year at Uni and did ok.

Revised for 2 days for my 3rd year exams and ****ed up.

Revised for 4 days for my resits and did quite well.

Revised for 2 weeks for my finals and discovered that wasn't the smartest move.

All depends on how intelligent you are as to what you can get away with *shrug*



If i was doing it all again id revise properly tho (ie take a bit of time over it).

The good news for you is there isn't much work for the PGCE (unless you want there to be) - only 3 essays throughout the year (3000 words each), and no exams (however there is continuous assessment). For Exeter, anyway.

That's what I've noticed so far, although I've done no actual teaching yet :/

Seems different at Glasgow Uni (a m8 is doing his teaching thing through them).

He's been in a classroom for at least 3 or 4 weeks total time so far (and he's there till the Christmas break).

He also gets continous assessment.

Yeah, it varies from uni to uni. At the end we all come out with the same amount of hours in the classroom and lecture theatre though.

Exeter's works in that you have a term at uni, studying the theory of it all etc. Then in the second term you go to one school, mostly observing then going onto a little bit of teaching here and there. Then in the third term you go onto more teaching, eventually progressing onto teaching fulltime lessons on your own.

I like it like this - it means that for this term I've just been a student as normal

Re: The Revision Problem

I don't really revise for exams. For my most recent exams (first year of my MSc) the morning of my exam I thought I might do something so I loaded up a couple of my old essay, read half way through them and realised they were shit and stopped. Even that proved useful though because the exam questions were very similar to the essay titles anyway.

But I don't like the idea of revision. It reminds me that rather than genuinely being educated I'm in a stupid jumping-through-hoops type exercise. It probably is necessary though, if you don't go to many classes.

Re: The Revision Problem

i never did much. there isnt much use in it anyway: you spend hours with learning stuff, you write the exam, you forget most of what you learned. value of this = null
ofc there always are subjects you are really intrested in. for those you usually do a lot more work, but not because of the exam but because you really want to know more about it. but (i guess, i didnt go to a 'real' uni, we have some alternative system here, besides unis) there are always others you need to do but really really dont care about.
try to pay attention in class, no matter how hard it seems to be and try to somehow get through it.

On revision, tbh I think work as hard as you can, 2/3 weeks of hard work inst that much tbh, perhaps do what I do and go to the library where everyone is working around you so you get in the mood and work as well...
