and How to
Beat it!

Don’t leave revision
to the last minute.
Don’t avoid the
questions you don’t
like or find difficult.
Don’t forget there is
life beyond exams.
Don’t CRAM the night
before, you’ll just get
stressed and forget it
all by the morning!

3. *Do work to a revision
timetable, start planning
well before your exams
begin
Do use your study
skills, write summary
notes, highlighting, revision
cards, key words, whatever
works for you
What routine suits you best?
Morning or afternoon? Alone
or with a partner? Short
bursts or longer sessions?

4. Get the people around
you to buy into and
support your efforts.
Make sure you agree
with them times that
you will not be
disturbed.
Get your own quiet
space in the house
were you can focus on
your goals.

*Give yourself plenty of time to
get to the exam
