It may seem unnatural to revise with other people. Doesn't this open the door to distractions of all kinds, wasting precious revision time as the exams approach? This can happen if group revision is carried out in the wrong way. However, as this capsule reminds us, preparing for exams together makes it easier to share knowledge and associate information retention with pleasant memories.
To do this, however, you need to establish a few rules:
Once all this is done, it will be possible to adopt different activities. The set of worksheets enables participants to prepare sheets in advance, and then share what each has retained in order to design the ultimate worksheet.
The mind map is another, more creative activity, where each participant notes the elements of a theme and then details them to create an outline that can be shared and studied later. Games also have their place, with question-and-answer periods that can be carried out individually or in teams. Finally, to prepare for the orals, there's nothing better than simulating a competition to brainstorm potential questions and answers, with the aim of helping each other out.
