Throughout school and university i was really rubbish at revising. For every important exam i left it until 2 days before. But i developed a really good method in my final 2 years of uni that helped me take in a lot of information quickly. In the old days I would put the day aside to revise and then think 'i better just tidy my room to ...

At the ages of 14 & 15, i was an absolute slacker, messing about in lessons at every oppurtunity, and getting myself into all sorts of trouble.

I haven't done exams for a good few years but I was studeous and just want to share some things that worked for me. I hope these work for you too! 1.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Where to revise ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My room is always incredibly messy and I found myself using it as excuse to avoid revision!

I did an exam at the end of last year, once I got my essays out of the way I concerntrated on swatting for my exam, making notes on important points and outlining this that may be important.

In this modern day and age it is remarkable how many people fail, because they fail to utilise resources that are around us to their advantage. I believe that in GCSE’s especially where the questions are less open-ended and where the questions have a direct answer you should you past exam papers. You can purchase past papers for a few ...

I confess that this isn't quite about revision but it's close enough, because too many people spend ages revising content, getting it all clear in their heads and ready to use, and then blow it on an unfortunate exam whoopsie. It's also curiously timed since the exams have just gone, but that's why I'm writing it now. You see I teach ...

I have done my GCSEs, A Levels and a degree so I know exactly how mind numbingly boring and dull revision can be. The problem is that when you are first told about your exams you think oh its ok they are a long way off yet, but then they sneak up on you and they are the next day and you haven’t done half as much revision as you were meant to. ...

A lot of us get worked up over exams, and we know that for most of us mere mortals preparation is essential if we wont to succeed. First of all, though, it is important that we think about exactly what we'll be getting assessed on. Consider the level of education you're at, the subject, what has been in the course so ...
