Active recall, spaced revision and timed practice — a revision plan that fits a demanding term.
Effective revision is about retrieval, not rereading. Test yourself on material without notes and you will remember substantially more of it.
Space your revision over weeks rather than days, and always finish with at least two full timed papers under exam conditions.
Build a topic checklist per module and mark confidence levels. Spend your time where your confidence is lowest, not where revision feels most comfortable.
