However, a digital timetable on an app like Google Calendar can be more flexible, and you can easily make changes to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Make your revision seem less overwhelming by breaking big subjects into key topic areas. It can also be helpful to measure your progress based on which topics you\u2019ve understood and memorised, rather than how long you\u2019ve studied for \u2013 as that\u2019s what really matters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Prioritise topics according to your strengths, but also your exam timetable. Focus the majority of your effort on topics most likely to come up in the exam and carry the most marks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKnow the specification for each exam inside out. They\u2019re available online. This way you know what to focus on by quickly identifying the areas you know well and the areas you don\u2019t know as well.\u201d \u2013 Nketia, MyTutor tutor on TikTok<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n1.
