Revising doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With a few smart habits, you can make your study time more productive and a lot less stressful. Here are some simple tips to help you stay focused, organised, and confident as exam season approaches.
1. Break your revision into manageable chunks
Short, focused sessions (around 25–30 minutes) with quick breaks in between can help you stay alert and avoid burnout.
2. Create a realistic revision timetable
Plan out what you’ll study each day and stick it somewhere you’ll actually see it. A clear plan makes it easier to stay on track.
3. Use active revision techniques
Try flashcards, mind maps, practice questions, or teaching the topic to someone else. The more you do, the more you remember.
4. Look after your wellbeing
Good sleep, regular movement, and healthy snacks make a huge difference. A rested brain learns faster.
5. Limit distractions (yes, that includes your phone)
Put your phone in another room, turn off notifications, or use apps that help you stay focused. Small changes can make a big impact.
