As the mock exams are finally here, revision and studying represent a priority for every student. Due to this, I gathered some tips on how to make the next study sessions more efficient, trying my best to guide you on having a pleasant exam session effortlessly avoiding burnout.

Where to study from

Great revision can be possible if you have well-written notes, but don’t stress if you are behind with your writing. Here comes in great team-work, you can ask your classmates for their notes, or your teacher for notes from earlier years.

Planning

Now that you have the notes, you have to decide what to revise. Do this by asking for your teachers’ guidance. It’s important to write down what you find most difficult. With that in mind, you can create a week’s revision plan that you can carry on with.

Prioritising

It’s important to prioritise first and think about which is the most important thing to study. You can do this by making a list of the topics that have to be revised for each subject and sort this list according to each topic’s importance. This can help you save time for the topics that are more difficult to remember.

Strategies

Try the following tips to make revision more efficient: use mind maps to have a clearer view of lessons’ contents. Additionally, you can use markers and diagrams to organise everything better. One great tip is to revise with a friend by trying to teach them the lesson as if you were the teacher.

Conclusion

That being said, everyone is on your side. If you need help with studying, ask a teacher, ask your friends or your parents because as H. Jackson Brown Jr. says: “The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”
