Revise ICT - RevisionTechniques

How to Revise ICT If you are studying
Information
Communication Technology
you need to use some of the
following revision
techniques to make sure your remember everything that
you have learned. Due to this
subject being so vast you
should start by splitting the
topics into smaller bite size
chunks. Speak to your teacher or lecturer about
what area they think is the
best area to study first (or pay
more attention to). Of course
teachers don't always know
what will come up in th exam (but they normally
have a pretty good idea).
Look at previous ICT papers -
most exam papers tend to
repeat themselves every three
to four years (the questions might not be exactly the
same but they are normally
pretty similar). Below we
have covered some tips on
revising this subject (you can
use it for most subjects too). 1. Start by purchasing a
decent book on the subject -
start with a basic book so you
get a good idea and the
purchase a more advanced
book that you can work towards. Ask for advice
from your teacher about the
books that they recommend. 2. When you have purchased
the book that you are going
to use - be disciplined - don't
procrastinate - give yourself
0-20 minutes and be
disciplined do not let anything else divert your
attention. 3. Don't skim read - read
slowly so that you take
everything in. 4. Don't have the radio on or
TV - this will distract you. 5. Write notes - write some of
your thoughts down. This
will enable you to ask
yourself questions later and
further test your memory. 6. If you have something
really important to
remember - make it into a
story - so for example - if
you are trying to remember
Megabytes, Gigabytes and Kilobytes - turn it into a
story. 'One day I woke up
and went down stairs and saw
a big Monster (Megabytes) sat
in my Sofa, I then went and
prepared some breakfast and a Giraffe (Gigabytes) was
eating my Porridge - I was so
annoyed because my pet
Kangaroo (Kilobytes) was
scared. It sounds silly but it is
proven psychological technique. The crazier the
image you have that is in
relation to what you have to
remember the more likely
your brain will member it.
By making it into a story this confounds it by linking each
of the topics that you need to
remember. Remember you can use these
techniques when you want to revise ICT and other subjects whether it is Maths, Science
or Geography. Tobias Charles writes on
