Having to revise the entire syllabus within a shorter time can be a frightening experience, particularly when you have exams to do but intelligent revision is not about revising everything but rather revising the right things at the right time in the right manner. The first step is to take 10-15 minutes to know the syllabus, highlight key chapters and high-weightage questions so that you do not read and revise without a purpose. Apply the 80/20 rule which involves concentrating on the little parts of the subject matter that are likely to have the majority of the marks, including recurring topic questions, major concepts and significant formulas, and focus on easy, scoring chapters to get in shape. When it comes to revision, you should not use full textbooks but use short notes, places and points highlighted, mind map and formula sheets or make one page notes using each chapter. Revision in concentrated forms of time by techniques such as studying 25-40 minutes and taking short breaks to keep fresh and productive
Revision Repeat questions, numericals and short answers of previous year to know exam patterns and have speed and accuracy. Be actively revising, by explaining or telling oneself, by not looking at notes and answering questions by writing, and asking questions of why and how rather than simply reading. Focus on issues that are weak by updating basics and significant questions but do not get bogged down trying to memorize on time. Revise whole chapters in a few minutes using visual aids such as diagrams, flow charts, tables and mind maps, and always keep in mind that several quick revisions in the day are better than one long revision, as in the morning formulas, in the afternoon theory, and in the evening, a little recap. Lastly, take care of your body and mind by sleeping 6-7 hours, drinking enough water, and taking short breaks, since a relaxed mind will be able to recall more in a shorter time.
