Many students who are about to take exams are
beginning to think about revision for those
all-important exams. In truth, however, it can be
a struggle to know the best way to revise.
Whether you need a private tutor to help you or
revising on your own steam, the following tips
should support you through your
exams.   Following Elite Tutors Sussexs 11 step
guide to revising for this years exams will help
to make revision manageable and dare we
sayenjoyable?

Tip 1 Start as early as possible.   One of the
major revision pitfalls is leaving revision to
the last minute and ruining your Easter holiday
when you need to recharge and brush up- not
overload and burn out. Tip 2 Do a little bit
every day.   Even if you just read one chapter
or look at one set of notes, revising in this way
ensures you arent overwhelmed and panicking
nearer to the exams.

Tip 3 Draw up a revision timetable.   Plan small
bits of revision and then you can do more if you
have the energy. This will make you feel like you
are accomplishing and maybe even smashing your
revision goals! Start early and dont fall into
the trap of leaving it to the last
minute.   Tip 4 Use colorful index
cards.   Using colors and pictures aides memory-
fact. Making short summaries on colored cards
will enable your memory to activate more readily
in a stressful situation (which exams can
definitely be).

Tip 5 Know yourself as a learner.   Understanding
the best way that works for you is king. Some
people love to make mind maps, some people work
better with written notes- others like videos.
Know what works for you. and do that.   Tip 6
Work with others.   Discuss, study and check each
others understanding. Discussion is one of the
best forms of learning according to John Hatties
256 Influences on learning. Whether you get a
private tutor, ask a family member or a friend,
discussing and going over notes together can
really help.

Tip 7 Draw up a revision timetable.   Plan small
bits of revision and then you can do more if you
have the energy. This will make you feel like you
are accomplishing and maybe even smashing your
revision goals! A healthy approach would be an
hour of revision followed by a 20-minute break.
repeat.   Tip 8 Revise by ear/eye.   Record
yourself answering some practice papers orally.
Listening to your own voice can help memory.
Alternatively, make a short video and replay!

Tip 9 Use past exam papers.   Ok, its not
anyones favorite way to learn, but it does give
you practice and helps you to become familiar
with the format of exam papers and what they
require from you.   Tip 10 Keep a positive
mindset.   Staying positive in any situation is
always the best course of action and this is
especially true with revising. Self- talk (I can
do this/Ive got this) is a helpful strategy as
well as making sure you take steps to reduce
stress (exercise, mindfulness etc.) which can
impede your memory if left unchecked.

Tip 11 Stay healthy.   Sleeping properly and
eating well will ensure you have a mind that is
receptive to both learning and revising what you
have learned. Taking plenty of breaks, drinking
enough water and getting fresh air will all help
your revision plan.
