Spacing

Spacing is a revision technique which is all about spacing out your revision so you don’t get swamped and overwhelmed. It means introducing time intervals into your revision sessions as well as spacing out the days which you revise for topics.

Planning: map out what you are going to revise and when. Use a timetable or revision planner to do this. Choose a mixture of subjects to focus on each day to make sure you are spacing them out.

Reviewing: Build in different revision techniques into your schedule to help you take in the information. This may include flash cards, writing summary sheets or mind maps.

Testing: Test yourself on the area that you have reviewed such as quizzes or testing yourself with a friend.
