TOP TIPS FOR REVISION


Begin with what you hate


Take it easy


For example, I hate maths and would therefore always do my maths homework first.


It was gruelling and unpleasant and took a large amount of time, but afterwards I would always feel relieved and 1motivated even. If I could do the stuff I feel like I’m bad at, what can’t I do?


Start on time


Of course you have heard


this before, but there is a good reason people keep saying it – it works. If you start earlier than you absolutely have to, it can give you plenty of time to finish everything you need to do.


There is only so much intense work the brain can take before it shuts down and refuses to take any more in. Make sure you are having regular breaks, ten minutes per hour is usually a good guideline.


Location, location, location Your study environment has a massive impact on the


quality and quantity of your work. Try places such as the kitchen table, the park, the library, anywhere you want to. Experiment to see if music or TV helps you concentrate, and whether you need people around you or if you need to be alone.


No social media Nothing harms productivity as much


as your phone going off every fifteen seconds with notifications from all your social media. Set your phone to silent or, even better, turn it off completely and only check social media during your set breaks.


Don’t panic Of course you want to do your best, but don’t change too much too quickly. Try some of these tips out and see how you do. The truth is that we are all individuals and we all need different structures and environments to be able to be our most productive selves. Experiment until you find your perfect revision style and reward yourself after you have inevitably aced your exams.
