EFFECTIVE WAYS TO PREPARE FOR THE EXAM THIS TERM
Revision tips
-
Make a realistic revision schedule: Work out how much you have to do and the time you have to do it in, then break it down into manageable chunks. Aim to do a few hours of revision each day and mix up your subjects so you do not get bored.
-
Find a revision style that suits you.
-
Customise your notes to make them more personal
-
Make sure you understand everything: If you come across something you do not understand, try to find a new source of information that will help you understand it. Just memorising it will not help you in your tests. Do not be afraid to ask your teacher or a friend for help if you need it.
-
Look at past exam papers.
-
Take regular short breaks.
-
Reward yourself: For example, you could take a long bath or watch a good movie once you have finished your revision session.
-
Do something physical: When you’re not revising, use your spare time to get away from your books and do something active. Exercise is good for taking your mind off stress and keeping you positive, and it will help you sleep better.
-
Ask for help: If you’re feeling stressed, it’s important to talk to someone you trust, such as a family member, teacher or a friend. Lots of people find exams difficult to deal with, so do not be embarrassed to ask for support.
