3b - Pros And Cons Of The Mental Method

Education : How To Excel In Exams

The mental method is much quicker than the first method because you are not writing which is what takes the time and slows the process down.

However, it does not suit a lot of people. This is because it requires even more powers of concentration than the first technique; since nothing is written down then the material needs to be fed into your brain purely from the words on the page.

This can be quite an intensive process and can easily lead to frustration. Hence it is probably fair to say that this method is not suitable for most people when it comes to significant amounts of revision; for it to work you need to have a very receptive mind and be able to remember details easily.

If this is you, then by all means use this technique, but we would always advise you do some taking of revision notes as well to supplement the above; as if you have ten or so subjects to revise for, or four or five in depth, then it is really very difficult to get good grades purely from reading material and trying to remember that way.
