Methods for rivising to achieve optimum 'average' standard

This is my weekend. The focus is on me, my brain, and some bits of paper which will decide if I go into year 2 of my university course.

I tried to go back and remember how I used to revise for the GCSE's. I left it until the last minute, scribbled some crap down, and blagged it. This is quite different.

Science is not something you can necessarily blag, and neither should you want to. If I want to do well on this course then I need to know this stuff, but it just seems so much information.

I ask my friends how they are revising for it. 'Just revising the stuff we wrote down and looking on the university databse'. I feel screwed.

So, like in many of life's avenues. You can only rely on yourself, and so you should. Never be dependant on another human being for this sortof stuff, for the majority of things.

So I closed the bedroom door, opened a window. And got to work. Information going in, information being lost after an hour. I make songs, I write accronyms, I do exactly what Derren Brown says he does.

Basically, imagine you are in a room and associate the things you need to revise with objects in the room. For example, In the room is a baloon, the baloon can represent a part of the anatomy, e.g your arm. I was skeptical but after a while, it begins to work.

So thats it,just me, and my head. I like the idea of it, I just don't like the execution. I don't like DOING. I need to become a doer.
