Revision tips
1. Work out when you work best and plan ahead
Do you study better in the morning or the evening? Make a schedule to plan your study time wisely and take regular breaks.
2. Understand your exams
Understand what your exams will be like and focus your studying on the important parts. Ask your teacher about the previous year's examiner reports (a report written by the people marking your exam paper about what they think are common misconceptions or things that students could do to have received more marks,etc).
3. Try different study methods
Try different ways of studying, like making flashcards or studying with friends, to find what works best for you. BCU's five best revision techniques
4. Test yourself and teach others
Test yourself to see what you remember and explain what you've learned to someone else. If your friend is struggling with a concept, why not teach them it to help out!
5. Don't cram – spread it out
Don't cram all your studying into one day. Spread it out over a few days to give your brain time to remember. Mix up topics to give your brain time to digest the information. Try testing yourself a few days later to see what you can recall.
6. Take care of yourself
Take care of yourself by sleeping well, eating healthy food, and getting some exercise. Also take time to do other things like hobbies and reading, so that your brain has time to rest.
7. Stay positive and calm
Stay positive and don't stress too much. Exams are really important, but they're not everything.
Remember, everyone studies differently, so find what works best for you and stick with it. Good luck!
