Using the best revision techniques is often something that students can feel uncertain about. Many schools teach revision techniques and yet students can still feel confused about fundamental aspects such as where to place retrieval (or recalling information from memory) within the learning process. Students can waste a great deal of time on activities that make them feel good but are not effective in terms of learning. Examples of this include writing copious, beautiful notes or making flashcards in preparation for later learning and testing. These processes take up a lot of time without delivering learning quickly. In this revision cycle learning is prioritised from the first moment of engaging in the act of revision. Numerous additional techniques are designed to save time, boost memory and help maintain interest whilst studying. A revision cycle that can be printed out is used to help guide the process of revision.
