Some more advice before the exams

 

  • at what time of the day do you read the best? Find it!
  • cultivate good reading habits: for example, take breaks and make sure it’s quiet, when you read.
  • find out what kind of breaks and how many of them you need. Some do sports, listen to music, watch TV or hang out with friends. It’s important you take different kinds of breaks and get new energy. Socialize, so you don’t feel like your life is only about exams.
  • when preparing for exams, finish each day with going over the next day’s material based on what you’ve already covered.
Nothing new
It's often best not to study anything new just before an exam. "Revision" means studying what you have already studied to make sure that you know it well. The aim is to be confident about what you do know, rather than worrying about what you don't know.
