Exams can be stressful, but one way to make sure you feel confident is to make the most of your revision time. The following tips will help you maximise your revision time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Manage your time:\u00a0<\/strong>Creating a revision calendar will really help you during your exams. \u00a0If there are particular subjects you find more difficult than others, then a timetable or calendar makes sure that you plan out how much time you need to spend on each. Allotting specific times for each revision session will help you become more disciplined when it comes to studying too.<\/p>\n

Practise planning questions:\u00a0<\/strong>A useful exercise is to plan out exactly what topics you want to include in your answer. You only need to write bullet points, but these will help you plan out how you\u2019re going to answer the question.\u00a0 This will also help to make sure that you\u2019ve covered all the topics that you feel are important to answer the question to the fullest possible extent.<\/p>\n

\"Practise

Practise previous exams:\u00a0<\/strong>Practise answering previous exam questions. When you do this you should also set a limit on the time you have to answer the question. Doing this will help you to develop skills when performing against the clock.<\/p>\n

Turn off your TV and phone:\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s easy to be distracted when revising. Make sure you turn off your phone and the TV. Both can really stop you from being productive. Whatever emails, texts or phone calls you receive can be answered after you\u2019ve revised.<\/p>\n

\"Turning

Don’t get distracted online:\u00a0<\/strong>The internet can be a great resource for learning. However, it can also become a distraction. Use a tool like StayFocusd<\/a> to block any websites that don\u2019t actually help you learn. You can block sites for a specific amount of time so instead of looking at Facebook or Twitter you can actually concentrate on learning what you need for your exams.<\/p>\n

Get a good night\u2019s sleep each night:\u00a0<\/strong>It can be tempting to cram revision into one long session the night before an exam, but without a good night\u2019s sleep you really won\u2019t be at your best for your exams. Make sure you get enough rest throughout your revision. You\u2019ll be far more alert and in a much better position to answer the questions during your exam.<\/p>\n

\"Getting

Avoid Revision Frenemies:\u00a0<\/strong>Whilst it\u2019s great to have a study buddy, sometimes your best friends can be your worst enemies when it comes to revision.\u00a0 If your bestie just isn\u2019t that enthusiastic about revising, don\u2019t let their bad habits rub off on you.\u00a0 It\u2019s great to have friends to offload your stresses and setbacks to, but if someone is constantly distracting you, it might be a good idea to keep your plans on hold with them until exam time is over.<\/p>\n

Take productive breaks:\u00a0<\/strong>We all need to take a break from revision and reward ourselves.\u00a0 But some activities can be big drains on revision time.\u00a0 It\u2019s easy to start playing on your PS4 and then wonder where the last five hours went, or start watching something on Netflix and end up watching the whole season. Pick activities that have a clear defined time period instead, like going for a half hour jog, or making yourself something really delicious to eat.<\/p>\n
