Does exam time fill you with anxiety?

Do you put off studying in favour of talking to friends only to worry about it later?
With the right techniques and strategies, you could be your best instead and wouldn’t it be great if you could sail through your exams rather then stressing about studying?

Seven tips for exam revision:
- Start early.
- Make a revision timetable. Avoid wasting time re-writing this over and over again.
- Answer questions from past papers.
- Identify the key points, examples and evidence for each topic- you will not be able to write very much on each in the exam.
- Prepare for questions that combine two different topics.
- Prepare for unusual questions or angles for your ‘best’ topics.
- Go over the same material quite quickly several times rather than spending a long time on one occasion.
