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.
