Displacement Displacement is when you are doing an activity which takes up time allocated for revision but when you are not learning or delaying learning. Here are some examples to watch out for: • Unnecessary internet research beyond the subject or only tangentially relevant • Creating revision aids for information that is already stored • Making excessively time-consuming memory aids (such as beautifully decorated flashcards) • Postponing more difficult subjects

A clear revision timetable in combination with a list of what you need to learn will help with getting through all the right material.
