Revision

May 8, 2005

Okay am on a two weeks course that helps me master maths ready for the exam and also help me on time management when it comes to revision.

Did you know our brains can only pay attention for like 40 mins and then it needs a break.

So the plan suggested is to revise for 40 mins and take a 20 mins break.

I am supposed to have 8 session of revision in a day with each one on a different topic to the one before. when it comes to evening stop revising.

Its been a week into the plan and i have not kept to this plan mainly because of the 8 hour sleep am supposed to get every night in order for me to be “in the zone” for revising.
I sleep at 3 to 4 am in the morning eveyday because i can’t sleep at night so i wake up at 1-3pm in the afternoon and evening is already coming.

when i wake up am tired so i stay in bed and end up doing only 1 session of revision.

I am trying but once i get stuck i stop and watch a film or something thats more than a 20 min break.
i just find it hard to stick to such a plan. I lack in discipline the next week i will definately try harder we are having tai chi on wednesday apparently that suppose to help.

Its important that i pass this exams. I have four exams.My first exam is on the 27th of May on Computer System this is the hardest of all my exams. i have serious problems with this module theres just too many topics under this one module. i fear i won’t cover them all.

My other exams are:
Maths June 7th
Java June 1st
Internet Programming June 3rd

  1. Hmmmm. 40 minutes and then a break. I can’t do that, there’s too much to know. But then again, I usually cram.

    40 minutes is so little time I find. It takes a while to get into the studying ‘zone’, and when I’m in it, I don’t want to leave it.

  2. lol i know what you mean i usually cram too but the guy said cramming is not safe as when i get to the next year of uni i won’t remember my basics and therefore i won’t fully understand stage two.
