Start early.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The earlier you start, the more in control you\u2019ll feel in the lead-up to mocks. When you\u2019re cramming, the mountain of work from months of lessons can make you feel overwhelmed and stressed. But when you\u2019re anxious, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/npjscilearn201611\">your brain doesn\u2019t focus<\/a>, process or recall info as well as it normally would. So that you don\u2019t get into a panic, and really give yourself the best chance possible, start revising early. If you haven\u2019t started yet\u2013 don\u2019t worry. Just start now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/03.21_MYTUTOR_How-to-beat-procrastination-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10773 lazyload\" width=\"478\" height=\"649\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 478px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 478\/649;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/03.21_MYTUTOR_How-to-beat-procrastination-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10773\" width=\"478\" height=\"649\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Make a mocks revision timetable.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing Matt recommends is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CVTA7-FIDh8\/?hl=en\">make a revision timetable<\/a>. Break up the week into chunks of study time for different subjects. It\u2019s a good idea to give more time to subjects you find the hardest. Or if you know there\u2019s a big project coming up, set extra time aside for that course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good way to keep the day\u2019s lessons fresh in your mind is to look over notes and homework when you get in from school. If you make a habit of it, you\u2019ll feel more in touch with what\u2019s going on in class\u2013which can give a huge boost to your self-confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-02-at-09.54.21.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12255 lazyload\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/400;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-02-at-09.54.21.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12255\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Note-taking technique, so that you\u2019re getting the most out of lessons.<\/em><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Use the Pomodoro technique to manage your time<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You know you need to start revising\u2013but how do you actually do it? Do you study for hours on end for just one subject, or cover a few subjects on a Saturday afternoon? What\u2019s the best way? Matt recommends using the Pomodoro Technique. With Pomodoro, it\u2019s all about breaking up study time into manageable chunks and giving yourself short breaks in between. Here\u2019s how it works:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Choose a subject to revise in. For example, GCSE English.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set the Pomodoro timer (or pomodoro<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forestapp.cc\/\"> APP<\/a>) for 25 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revise the subject by choosing one study activity. For example, you can highlight key words in your notes and homework, or read texts from the English course list, or work with flashcards, or create a mind-map, or plan out how you\u2019d answer an exam question from a past paper\u2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>End your work when the timer rings and take a short break (about 5 mins). Stretch, move, get a drink of water, have a snack.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat steps 2-4 for your second Pomodoro round. Matt recommends you set aside at least an hour (so 2 Pomodoros) and to stick to the same subject in that time. By revising the same subject you can go deeper into the course specifications.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Do a different study activity in each Pomodoro round. So if you read 2 poems for your first Pomodoro round, for the second, create mind maps about the themes, characters and settings of those poems.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to take breaks when you study. Your brain can only <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2017\/05\/your-brain-can-only-take-so-much-focus\">focus<\/a> for 90 minutes (max) at a time. Even when you\u2019re taking a break, your brain is still working out problems (which is handy!) and those questions which might\u2019ve had you stumped before, can feel more doable when you get back to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Mix up high, medium and low revision energy activities<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Studying the same way every time can feel boring and it\u2019s actually not the best use of your time. People learn in different ways\u2013and mixing up how you study means you\u2019re giving yourself more chances to go deeper into learning a subject.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt suggests having a mix of high, medium and low energy activities. If you\u2019re tired after a long day at school, it makes sense to choose an activity from the low energy list. You\u2019re still learning, but it doesn\u2019t feel like a slog. You can put together a menu of high, medium and low energy activities and pin it to a cork-board next to your desk to take some of the guesswork out.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-10-13-at-09.27.31.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12261 lazyload\" width=\"199\" height=\"199\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-10-13-at-09.27.31.png 199w, https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-10-13-at-09.27.31-64x64.png 64w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 199px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 199\/199;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-10-13-at-09.27.31.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12261\" width=\"199\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-10-13-at-09.27.31.png 199w, https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-10-13-at-09.27.31-64x64.png 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u201cWhen I\u2019m tired after a long day of classes, low energy activities give me a much needed break.

There\u2019s nothing more to do now but to give yourself a break. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/parents\/mytutor-for-students\/how-to-juggle-2-exams-in-one-day-guest-blog-from-catherine\/\">On exam day<\/a>, focus on making yourself feel relaxed and comfortable. Eat a healthy breakfast, and wear comfortable clothes. Matt recommends bringing a bottle of water into the exam hall to stay hydrated. Taking sips is a way to take mini breaks as you move through exam questions. If you begin to feel anxious at any point, use the box breathing technique. Breathe in for 5 seconds, hold for 5, and breathe out for 5. This easy breathing exercise helps get more oxygen into your brain, and it also helps you focus on your breath instead of on exam stress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take spare pens (black to fit exam rules)\u2013 you can never have too many pens. Take time to plan out your answers, in the same way you practiced in revision. If you run into a question that\u2019s tricky or that you don\u2019t know the answer to straight away, Matt recommends skipping it and answering the ones you do know. Answering a few questions can help give you the confidence to go back and tackle the trickier questions you skipped.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>When the exam is over, your friends might want to chat about how it went. If you don\u2019t feel like reliving it, make an excuse to leave the conversation. You can go to the library or just take a breather outside where there\u2019s fresh air. You deserve a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exams (even when they\u2019re just mocks) can take up a huge chunk of your time and headspace. Starting early by putting together a revision schedule and mixing up study activities are just some of the ways you can get yourself ready. When you\u2019re prepared, you\u2019ll feel more confident going in. Whatever happens, be proud of yourself for all the hours you\u2019ve put into revision and for giving it your best go.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To sign up for free study skills tutorials with Nketia this autumn term, click <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/pages.mytutor.co.uk\/mytutor-squads?_gl=1*17f2w1z*_ga*MTg2MTM5ODIzNy4xNjY3Mjk4Mzc5*_ga_0DJNW86GQM*N2JlMWM1ZTEtMWNlOC00Y2M2LThmNjUtZTIzZWQ1NDdmYTVjLjUuMS4xNjY3MzgzNDAwLjYwLjAuMA..\"><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mock exams are just around the corner.
