Do you revise each topic? (1 Viewer)

[jamesfirst]

Say in school you finish learning a topic (say polynomials) and you move to say (parametrics). Do you constantly practice the previous topics just so that you dont forget them ?


I find this the problem in exams. I mostly forget the concepts of the questions because I didn't practice it throughout the term and just crammed it in by doing past papers before the exams.

it's not a problem for me, concepts tend to stick in my head quite easily

Nope. I do past papers 3-4 weeks before exams, if I forgot something then I would brush over the textbook.

Generally i study topics everydat what we are doing in class, and on weekends i would brush over everything.

You decide on a study plan which works for you, if it is like me, brush over things weekly, or monthly


I find it fun because i really hate doing the same topics of maths hours on end

I don't feel the need to constantly practice the previous topics. When exams are coming close I usually use another textbook from the library or past papers to revise what I've learnt. Making a summary book is also useful & good study too.

Hmm... I think I should at least go over the previous topic each week so that I don't get slammed and try to cram in a lot of math before the exam... lol

how about when your teacher gives you truck load of math homework and you have no time to study other topics................ FML!!!

Do as much as you can as soon as you get home but leave a few questions to come back to on another day. Then study for other subjects/topics. Sometimes I'll skip doing the homework altogether to study for another test.

I do start studying when I get home.


Just I don't have all that time to fit in my other subjects on the weekends. Anyway I did 2-3 hrs of math today. Reasonably pleased with Apps of calc. to the phy world. Thought it was hard at first glance, but I got the hang of it.
