Well, the best place to start is to speak to your teacher
and ask him or her what precisely it is you need to revise for the specific exam you are
taking. They are normally very good about this, so make sure you get everything you need
to revise and to focus on.
Secondly, you need to remember
as well that doing a multiple choice test can be a lot easier than the alternative.
After all, you have the answers there in front of you. You just need to identify which
one is correct. This can be a great bonus if you go through it carefully. The biggest
strategy that can help you as you take your test is POE, or process of elimination. This
is where you go through the answers one by one, crossing out the ones that are clearly
incorrect, and leaving you with the correct one. Also, recognise as well that in most
multiple choice selections of answers, you are going to have one absolutely bizarre one
that you can quickly cross out, and then at least two that are going to look as if it is
very close to the answer. You need to be aware of this and not get lured into selecting
one of these for the answer.
Finally, as you are going
through your revision notes, do anything to help you revise successfully. Revision is an
intensely personal thing in my experience, and what will work for you will not work for
others. So, be imaginative, and above all, own your notes. What I mean by that is draw
silly pictures, use colours, come up with strange and bizarre ways of remembering facts
and equations, walk around the room chanting them to a dance--whatever it takes you to
do to learn them. And above all, good luck!
