Have a dedicated revision timetable. You ideally want to factor in enough time to ensure all your subjects are covered and you also ideally want to have breaks between bursts of study.
•
Identify a good place to study. Ideally, you want somewhere quiet with good access to the internet. You may wish to choose your bedroom as the room in which you decide to study, though if your access to the internet is poor or it is not quiet enough for you to study, consider finding a local library to go to.
•
The aforementioned bursts of study ought not to last more than 45 min each, and the breaks between should (a) involve getting yourself a drink and a snack (b) last at least 15 min.
•
Avoid having distractions around. Mute group chats on your phone for the duration of your study and agree with your family members when and where you are going to study so they don’t distract you (unless of course there is a genuinely good reason for them to do so).
•
Have individual folders for, or an expanding file with pockets dedicated to each subject you are studying. That way, any work you are bringing to and from school can be quickly found when needed.
•
When writing notes and making the resources you will revise with later on, use your own words to summarise the material and make sure that you define any key, subject-specific terms in a way you understand.
•
Take care of yourself and do all manner of things to ensure you are healthy and happy. You don’t have to spend an eternity glued to a seat studying to go on to do really well in your exams.
•
Be kind to yourself. GCSE, AS/A levels and IB are hard, so you should expect many ups and downs in your revision. In times where you are struggling with a particular topic, you can say with a fair degree of certainty that you have stumbled across a weaker topic and therefore you now know what you need
•
Reward yourself after completing targets, because in doing so, you will give yourself more motivation to study.
