I disagree, revising is important as it reinforces the learning, which in some cases can be 2 years old say, just like practice reinforces the learning it's important to reinforce the learning to demonstrate understanding of the area.

Yes but these are modular exams so it is more like 5 months. Most people who I know to revise do it inefficiently and are usually more like Arnold rimmer when it comes to exams.

If I were to revise for an objective course then you look through the textbook/syllabus and Identify areas that you are least knowledgeable in ranks learn from least till the most. then look at a few mock style exam papers and apply knowledge.

Then I'd abandon the text book a week before and start thinking about the exam, about the types if question, how to answer them, what knowledge and what analysis. Think about the subect material and done.
Watch one of the following films the day before: Pulp fiction, Snatch or Rocky

Get a good night’s sleep (bed at 9pm) wake up 3 hours before the exam listen to (from your ipod alarm):
Sex machine- James brown
Start me up –rolling stones
Then have an 80s montage along with some psych up music to get your brain enthused to music such as this:
A team theme
Rocky theme
Eye of the tiger –survivor

Eat breakfast:
Listen to more:
we will rock you- queen

live and let die- guns and roses
Immigrant song- led zep
smoke on the water
Back in black- AC/DC


Then on the way to the exam from home listen to this:
I feel good- James brown
Can’t stop- Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Flash- queen


Then when you arrive at college (20 mins before the exam):
One step beyond- madness
Beat it-MJ
Just before:
Right here, right now- fat boy slim

Now after hearing all this you’ll be able to do all the following things: Heavy weight boxing, fight inequity, save the world from alien invaders, perform live in front of 20,000 people and play for a professional football team
Such a playlist is made of liquid psych. Last January I listened to those for 2/3 of my first module exams I got an A and B no revision. However on the other exam I got an E : with revision. I resat that module and got 90% in the summer when I did the psych up routine.

Looking through the paper, most of it is analysing the data given to you, not recalling the structure of the nucleotides in DNA etc.
