ie months, not days before the exam.

Planning out your revision means you can spend more time revising and less time worrying you’ve forgotten something.

This is just wasting time. For diagrams, include all the details you need to learn, but don’t try to produce a work of art. 

You’ll need somewhere with good lighting, your pens close by, your phone out of sight and your TV unplugged. Try not to revise on your bed, or you’ll be dreaming of pink igloos and elephants before you know it.

So in the exam you think, “Aha, quadratic equations, they were on the fridge…”

You’ll find it far easier to answer questions in the exam if you’ve tried similar ones at home beforehand. Speak to teachers in each department who will be more than happy to supply you with these.

Don’t totally stop yourself from having fun. This’ll help you stay motivated, relax, and allow you to keep up with your favourite hobbies.

Phones are great, but they’re a one-stop shop for procrastination. Heed our warnings and stick it in a drawer while you’re revising.

You have to WRITE STUFF DOWN. This is really basic “how to revise” stuff.

Throw all of your pens in the air and they’ll form an abstract picture of what you’re having for tea that night.

Sleep is more important than you’d imagine — it helps your brain store all the juicy information you’ve learned throughout the day. Drinking plenty of water and eating healthy foods will also boost your concentration throughout the day.

Nothing adds extra pressure to exam day like the fear of being late. Just make sure you set off at a little earlier than usual. While you wait, if people around you seem stressed about the exam, try to relax and not let their worries affect you.
