- DON’T PANIC!
- Make a plan to revise little bits of each subject up to the date of the exam.
- START NOW! If you leave it, panic will set in.
- Use different “tricks” to help you learn, e.g. memory tricks such as ROYGBIV (Richard of York gave battle in vain) to help remember the colours of the spectrum.
- Don’t revise for more than an hour - build breaks into your plan.
- Treat yourself when you’ve worked hard. (Watch Coronation Street or have some chocolate!)
- Find somewhere quiet and calm to revise. Leave the telly and CD off!
- Be positive! Look at what you’re good at first to give you a boost, then gradually tackle the harder topics.
- Work hard and play hard. Build in some of the three Rs – Rest, Relaxation, Recreation as well as Reading, Riting and Rithmatic. (Excuse the spelling).
- On the night before, pack your bag with all that you need and go to bed early to get a good rest.
