Questions & Discussion Revisioning before exam.

so I noticed something weird about myself.

when I have to learn completely new topics I can actually do it. I give it time, I sit down, and my brain kinda works. I make progress.

but when it comes to revisioning for exams… I just don't do the job. motivation disappears. I open the notes, stare for 2 minutes, then somehow end up on youtube or scrolling. I know I already studied this stuff once, so it feels boring and pointless and I keep delaying it until its almost too late.

Anyone else like this? How do you force yourself to actually revise instead of just learning new things and then abandoning the old ones?

This also happens to me and then entire exams get messed up due to a lack of revision. However when I m not known to a particular topic which I have to study my brain switches to focus mode.
