Variety Is The Spice Of Life
One way to stretch your memory muscles is to ensure your revision activities are kept new and fresh. Unfamiliarity will keep the brain on its toes and ensure that your mind maintains stimulated. Watching revision videos, use audio notes, and apply the techniques in this App to keep your memory muscles working well.

Regular Rewards
As previously suggested it is important to revise in short bursts as opposed to doing it over long periods of time. Try the 20 minute rule; revise for 20 minutes and then take 10 minutes off. Repeat this pattern during the day, and ensure that during your 10 minute breaks you do something fun and enjoyable. Your brain will pair your revision with your reward and help you to keep motivated.

Super Foods
There are several food-types that are linked with boosting memory and concentration. Whole grains, oily fish, seeds, berries and spinach, are some of the foods that will help. Consider keeping some of these healthy snacks to hand when you are revising. Nuts would work really well in this context.

Green Therapy
Getting out into green-space is a great way to keep your mind and body fresh. Consider using green-spaces as a place to revise as well as a place to escape when you need a break. When you feel good, memory recall becomes much easier!

Clever Reminders
Create visual revision triggers and keep them in common places for example; on your fridge, in the living room, and in the car. This will help you to keep your mind actively rehearsing your revision notes. The more you practice and rehearse your revision material the easier it will be to recall in the exam.

Playful Pressure
Recreate the pressure that you will experience in the exam by completing past papers under a time-limit. Replicating test conditions will train your brain to work well in the exam. It will also help you develop an awareness about how much you can write in a given space of time.
