  • EXAM PREP: Make Sure You Give Yourself Time

    Give yourself enough time to plan, prep and revise. Create a study schedule and stick to it. Give yourself breaks and make sure you don’t burn out. Aim for 20-60 min periods to study within. Create an exam schedule and plan your time around that. A timetable on the wall is a good place to check in each day and make sure you’re studying the right subjects just before your exam.

  • STAY ORGANIZED: Make It Comfortable For Studying For Exams

    Organize your study space, be it your bedroom or dining table. Make sure you have enough room for your books, computer and notepad. A comfy chair is a must, as you’ll be sitting on it all day. Create an ambiance which is conducive to study. Play relaxing music, make sure your desk is tidy and keep anything distracting away from you.

  • VISUAL AIDS: Ideas And Notes For Exams

    Create notes using visual aids. Get your exam notes down to one page then try and put them into a diagram which may help you to remember them. Getting your ideas and notes down this way should make you remember them better.

  • PRACTICE OLD EXAMS: Tried And True!

    This is a tried and tested way to get in some good practice. You’ll be able to see the format of question, the style and tone, and get a better idea as to what is required. It will also help you to plan your time better, so you know exactly how much time you have for each question.

  • SHARE: Test Your Knowledge

    Explain your answers to your friends and family. Do they make sense? If they make sense to them, it’s likely they will make sense to yourself and your examiner.

  • STUDY GROUPS: Form Study Groups For Learning

    A study group is a great way to share what you’re learning and also tips and tricks on remembering everything. Mix up your study groups per subject so you’re getting ideas from a variety of different people.

  • TAKE BREAKS: Be Sure And Stretch!

    Don’t sit at your desk all day cramming. It’s important to get up and stretch. Move around, take the dog for a walk, get some fresh air, it’s important you stand up and move regularly to keep you from getting stagnant. Getting your daily dose of vitamin D is vitally important.

  • EAT WELL: This Is Key!

    Make sure your brain and body are getting the right foods. It’s important you’re eating nutritious and delicious meals. Good memory foods include; fish, nuts, yogurt, blueberries and seeds. Keep some mixed nuts on your desk and grab a handful when you need them.

  • PLAN EXAM DAY: Relax And Do It!

    Make sure you’re ready to go the day before not the day of. Take pens and pencils that work. Does your calculator have new batteries? Do you know where you’re going and how long it will take to get there? Make sure you get to your exam in good time so plan accordingly. You don’t want to be late!

  • DRINK WATER: H2O Is Key!
