How do you cope with the workload?

It is crucial to prioritise homework and assessments. You should aim to complete much of this during your free time in college/sixth form in order to focus on revision and exam techniques at home. Homework must be completed to your best ability, using class notes and knowledge from wider reading. Preparing for class tests and assessments should be completed by thorough and productive revision sessions. If you feel as though your notes are brief and will not help you during your exams, re-write them using extra resources after you have completed the tasks on the top of your priority list. It is best to focus on one subject per night, working through each distinct topic. Extra and wider curricular reading can be done whilst you are travelling to and from college as it will give you something to think about on the journey as well as exercising your brain. However, ensure that your notes are succinct and easy to understand as this will help massively during exam season.
