Most students revise for exams using “cram sessions” just before their papers. Research has shown that cramming is not the most effective study strategy for exam performance or long-term retention. This has some raising the legitimate question “Do you want to study to remember or cram to forget?”!

Why does cramming not work? One reason is that we are usually feeling high exam pressure just before test day. Our brains simply do not remember very well when we are experiencing excessive pressure. Students are already prone to manifest stress-induced psychosomatic  symptoms like headaches and stomachaches before major exams. The brain is hardly in the most optimal state for learning in such situations. 
 

The second reason is that our brains do not store information well when presented with a large volume of content all at once. Information is much more successfully stored in our memory when presented in smaller chunks over time. Therefore, the best time to start revising for an exam is actually the start of the school semester! Join us in this webinar as we explore the most brain-friendly and “sticky” revision techniques to help your child ace his/her exams.
