How To Revise 

The technique you use to revise is very individual. After 4/5 years of medical school most students have strategies that they know work reasonably well. Until I look through some proper literature on the psychology of learning here are some tips that I have picked up:

• Don't panic! This is very counterproductive as you can not do any useful work shilst shivering with dread and adrenaline. Almost everybody has panic attacks from time to time as they approach their exams, when you fret that you've wasted all your time or that you don't know enough. One of the reasons is that it is hard to audit how much you know, and you can easily fool yourself in to thinking you don't know anything.
