Exams and tests can be a stressful time for most students, but follow these fantastic stress-free tips for revising… and you might find yourself at the top of the brainy class!
Study in quiet place
Study in a quiet place away from the TV and computers etc that is both light and comfortable.
Revision books
Make a ‘revision timetable’ and always let your family know when you are revising.
Summary notes
Create summary notes and anything simple that helps your memory – as short notes, drawings and sayings are much easier to remember.
Get help
Ask friends and family to test you. Also attend any teacher revision classes – as teachers will know better than anyone what will be in tests and exams.
Record yourself
Record yourself reading notes and occasionally listen to them instead of reading.
Take a 5 or 10 minute break every hour and do some stretching exercises, go for a short walk or make yourself a drink.
Relax
Allow yourself some fun-time each day to relax…and make sure you get a good eight hours of sleep each night.
Eat well
Eat good brain foods like cereals, wheat bran, wheat germ and whole wheat pasta.
