A Stress-Free Revision

Easy as ABC!

Do you feel your brain is exploding when you are revising for your exam? Here are some tips that will make your exams seems easy peasy!

Make a plan

Being organised can reduce exam stress and help you make the best use of your time. The first step to effective revision is to make a plan. It doesn’t have to be very pretty. It just needs to be neat and tidy, so you can see everything clearly. You can also colour-code it (if you have enough time) to remind yourself!

Plan your day around your most productive times

Are you an early bird or a night owl? You may be most alert in the morning or work better in the evenings. Revise difficult topics at the most effective point of your day, so you will be able to understand and remember it better!

Remember the time when you start to get drowsy, so try to revise before that time!

Manage your distractions

Everyone has them – those little temptations that distract you in and take up loads of time. The secret is to build your routine around your distractions. Set fixed times to check your phone or social media accounts and stay offline when you’re working to make sure that you won’t be distracted.

 

Consider where you study

Find somewhere comfortable, light and distraction-free where you can study. Sometimes a change of scene can boost concentration. Try spending the morning in your school or local library, or working in a different room at home.

Avoid over stressing

Pacing yourself is important – you can’t revise effectively 24 hours a day, seven days a week so breaks and rest periods are essential to staying the course. Giving your mind a well-earned rest and spending time doing something you enjoy can make a real difference when you return to revising.
