Anyone got any good tips for motivation for exam revision?

I is in the middle of my finals, have three to go, and cant really get motivated to revise. I need to do well, then i can get a good job, earn loads of money and get this s13 a bit more powerful :D

So any advice...... greatly appreciated

I'm in the same position, and I don't think there is an answer :( . Either you're the type of person who can force yourself to work, or who can't. I can't. But on the bright side, there's always resits... :eek: and what's an extra six months of suffering, student poverty, and feeling like a d!ck 'cos all of your mates have passed and you f*cked it up...?

'Kay, gonna work right the f*ck now... ;) Upper limb neurological examination it is... :(


G'luck, Jacko :)

Get yourself down the library, it's amazing how interesting cleaning suddenly becomes when revision needs doing!

I also found that revising in groups can be quite helpful to a point, you will all force each other to work. Then you can get the boozer and reward yourselves later!

Yep, revising in a group was the way to go for me. Makes it much less boring and you can get your clever mates to tell you how to do everything.

I agree with Starionman, you've answered the question yourself :)

When I was revising I listened to a lot of elevator music, that way I would have the motivation to revise safe in the knowledge that I would be forced to listen to that shyte for the rest of my life in a supermarket if I failed!

Only joking, but it might work :)

There is a growing school of thought that suggests certain types of music and BPM structures harmonize your alpha waves, enabling info to sink in faster.
I've heard Baroque is good for this - think Floyd probably is too - anything with long rhythm and wave signature I would imagine.
OR
Wear a certain aftershave while revising. Then wear the same atyour exam. Smells have been shown to trigger memory responce...
