I must admit that up to and including A levels I never revised for any exam, I'm lucky that I have (or certainly used to) a photographic memory. In exams I would read teh Q and then sort of 'play back' teh lesson quickly in my head.
At Uni I specialised into Applied Mathematics and Computation, In the first year i had to take Pure Maths, Applied Maths and one other, I wanted to do pyschology but the forced me to do Physics, I got 95% in Pure, 97% in Applied and 26% in Physics (Oops!) I hated Physics.............
Due to them deciding to decoratre the Uni there were no resits that summer so I was being forced to wait a year. I thought about just bumming around the SU for a year but in the end decided I wanted some cash in my pocket so I dropped out and started in the real world i.e. work.
Since then I've taken a few exams and never had to revise for any of them. (Catering and IT qualifications)

I wish I had a photographic memory but i'd probably run out of memory, I cant afford to upgrade the memory card
