I was born and raised in Hong Kong. As most of you may know, Asian schools and universities usually have quite a lot of exams and tests so I believe that i am in a good position to share some experiences on revisions. I had my O-Levels, A-Levels and 5 years in university (most of them in law school) and have spent almost all my time on studying during that period. The best revision tip, for sure, is to attend your class, pay attention to your class and revise what you have learnt immediately after class. It is ideal. However, in reality, we all know that we will not even know that exam is approaching until say, two weeks before the exam actually takes place. ...  Read the complete review

As I have been both a college and school student here are my top tips for those who are going into year 11 or 6th form/a-levels in September. These are going to the most stressful times of your time at school/college and the thought of 'revision' or 'exams' gives you a bad feeling and think 'uh-oh.' But in the end it is worth it, but to do that you must work very hard and you'll grantee good rewards at the end! If you are going into year 11, in December/January you will take GCSE mock exams, this is to give you a better idea of what will happen during the exam, and if you were to take the exam, but if you do badly, don't worry cause many students do ...  Read the complete review

If my degree was in procrastination I'd be on course for a first. Unfortunately, they don't offer that course at my uni so I'm stuck doing something proper! When it comes to exams I have a tendency to panic, and out of fear of not knowing exactly what to do I put it off til the last second which is probably the worst thing you can do! What should you do then? My first piece of advice is to get a wall chart calendar and write on it everything you have to do (exams, coursework, work) and put it in the space you do most your work so you can keep track of what you need to do and how long you have to do it. Secondly, instead of panicking, just get on with it! Remind ...  Read the complete review

It has been many years since I opened a book and had to study, however, I have recently started a Masters Degree in Analytical Credit Risk Management, and I couldn't believe how out of tune I was with academics. I started my reading, in turn my assignment, and I was like 'Wow, I can't even remember how to write a bibliography!', so I have gone through the nerves of exams and the scary revision all over again. It doesn't get any less nerve wracking, but by following the routine I have set down below, it isn't as unorganised as it was when I was 17 and trying to balance A Level study with partying and relationships! *~Where to Study~* The most important ...  Read the complete review

Well it's the start of exam time for me and panic is starting to set in. I feel like I haven't done enough and there's too much to learn and I always think that everytime I do exams and i get good grades, that I am a fluke and I just got very lucky. I put a lot of my good grades down to my "lucky magic biro" (which I must lay out for tomorrow I guess!!!) and not down to hard work although I think I do try really hard. I am probably not the best for giving revision tips but I am just going to quickly (I'm on a bit of a revision break but its getting a bit extended so I better hurry up and get back to the grindstone!) chat through some of the things ...  Read the complete review
