2025 / 11 / 05

     The Department of Psychological Guidance and Educational Orientation   at University of Alkafeel  organized a guidance lecture : "Effective Revision Strategies," presented by psychological counselor Zahraa Bayan, on Wednesday, 5 November 2025. The lecture targeted second-year students in the Department of Radiology Technology at the College of Health and Medical Technologies. The lecture aimed to develop their organized revision skills and introduce them to scientific methods that help them prepare well for exams and achieve academic excellence and success.

      The concept of effective revision as a structured process was targeted to help deep understanding of the study material, rather than mere memorization, while emphasizing the importance of time management and its balanced allocation among subjects. The lecture also covered several modern revision strategies, most notably: creating study schedules, using mind maps and summaries, group revision, and adopting spaced repetition techniques to solidify information in memory.

    An important aspect of preparing psychologically for exams was also addressed : boosting self-confidence, avoiding anxiety, and regulating rest and sleep. Emphasis was placed on the necessity of making revision a continuous daily practice, rather than just an intensive activity before the exam, as this has a positive impact on raising academic achievement and attaining outstanding results.

      At the end of the lecture, a discussion was opened with the students about their study experiences and revision methods. Ideas and advice were exchanged on the best ways to utilize time and manage effort during the exam preparation period.
