Repetition really helps students memorize information for exams , which speeds up the learning process . It helps improve your confidence in your subjects and increases your memory performance . Whenever I ' m studying to memorise a writing / talking assessment , I like to constantly write my paragraphs so I can remember them clearly .
Remember : don ' t cram all your revision in the day before your prelim / exam , space it out from when you first start learning the topic in class . For more study tips , check the S4-6 assembly page on Teams where Mr . Moncrieff is posting tips every Monday .
