80:20 Principles as a Revision Strategy
Under this principle the scientists say that we should give 80% time to study. If you are preparing for an examination and studying 10 hours a day then you should study for 8 hours and do the practice of review for 2 hours i.e. 20%. Your weekly and monthly study plan should be like this. Likewise we should give full 1 day to review after studying 6 days in a week. We shall find that our self-confidence goes on increasing after every review continuously and this is very important element in knowledge building.

Preview is as important as review.  Review is the process in which you revise what you have done; preview is the reverse process where you visualize what you are going to do.  This is a future planning where you try to visualize each and every important detail in your mind of what you are going to do, why you are going to do that, and how you will do it, at appropriate time frame. Preview help your subconscious and unconscious mind to stay focused. This process helps you to attain the priceless skill that is being a proactive person.  If you practice this enough you will be able to create solutions of the problems on time or even before they rise.

Behavioral Review, tool for self empowerment

Behavior review is also wonderful thing which can help you to be better every day. Most of the time people react and respond to life in a very unconscious way.  Life is just going on and on and we have very less control over it, whenever something unexpected happens, we react with shock and surprise. Most of the time when situation Rises suddenly we don’t have an appropriate time window to analyze and choose our response consciously so we respond and react immediately.  These responses and reactions is our behavior about life, which either can build a life or can destroy life.  The behavior review strategy suggests that every night before going to the bed you must recreate and visualize that situation where you didn’t respond well.  Think of the right kind of behavior which you could show at that moment, try to recreate and feel like what nice could happen if you would have shown conscious and well thought behavior.

Keep practicing and do review on time so you can fill the gaps between retention and retrieval, so that you can be more effective as active learner and attain what you have decided for yourself.
