Hey guys, i've got my university finals coming up and i'm on course to get a 2:2 class degree, but with a little extra work i think i could bump up to a 2:1. Problem is im terrible at revising, i tend to cram everything in last minute in an attempt to memorise it all, because when doing revision over a few weeks nothing seems to sink in.
I recently started learning how to do a rubiks cube and i'm getting quite good at it, and i realised that there are quite a few algorithms to learn but i seem to commit them to memory very easily.
Sooooo, i was just wondering if anyone had any revision tips they could share. I'm sure there must be a way to transfer the memory process for the Rubik's Cube to help me with my revision. Does anyone know of any sites that may help my revision problem?
Thanks for your time.

Firstly - put the cube down! I first picked one up when I went to Paris for a week with my now-wife. She still hasn't forgiven me...

In maths I feel that there are 2 things they test - your memory, and your maths ability. Can you remember definitions and theorems from your notes, and can you reproduce key proofs? Can you apply key theorems to other problems?

For the memory part I normally write down everything I need to know and then I spend a few days just copying them out. It's boring, but it works! Clearly, you've got a good memory so it'll all go in. Plus, remembering proofs is quite easy - you just need to remember a few key steps then you can reproduce the rest.

For the application, you just need to do lots of problems. I suppose, however, you know this as you've got this far...
