See I told you I would be back blogging more recently;)
Hope you're all doing good and if you aren't please go back and have a look on my blog post about positivity because I would hate for you guys to ever be upset because of some idiot who isn't even worth your time. However always remember that it's worse to bottle up your feelings and to try pretend they don't exist because sometimes it's better to let it all go, trust me! Now I better move on before I start typing out another rendition of frozen to you all..
So I was thinking of blog post ideas and I know a lot of you will be coming up to doing lots of exams so I thought I would try help you if any of you out there are struggling for revision. I know there will be some of you studying for your gcse's and some doing a levels, like me. But of course, the advice works for basically everyone as long as you stick to it.
First of all I'd like to say no I'm not gonna write out a crappy revision plan with how you'll exactly spend your day because I honestly believe it doesn't help as we need a bit of spontaneity in our lives especially as our lives resolve around school and work hours. Although for those of you who generally find it helpful then good for you! I'm just saying my personal views, no need to follow. So, here goes:
My Revision Tips: (Yes it annoys me there is 8 not 10 so shush)
- Try to be more organised. Now I'm not saying you must have a clean bedroom and an
impeccable structured lifestyle as I totally don't. I mean how can you, you can't exactly plan concerts right? All I'm saying is try be more organised with your school work and preferably your work space as that can help clear your mind a lot. - Get a diary to write down all your latest homework or when you have to revise and definitely put down your exam dates so as they don't suddenly creep round the corner from you, always good to be prepared!
- Decide what your best revision strategy is, for example mine is to summarise my revision notes onto flashcards so as I can test myself on them later. Another example would be to create posters, leaflets etc. Basically whatever personally helps you revise then just go for it(such a good film tho, sorry I know I'm getting a bit of topic but Jennifer Aniston is literally everything goals aka why friends is my all time fave tv show without a doubt!) Even if it means decorating your whole house with post it notes, I know I used to do that for my gcse exams and I still do oops (good way to annoy your parents as well btw)
- Make relax and chill out days or if you really don't wanna do that as you have loads of work then at least take a break to watch your fave tv show after half an hour or an hour. Trust me after a certain amount of time, you will just lose focus and there's no point doing work if you aren't actually learning anything from it.
- Try your best, don't aim to always get 100% in mocks as you have to remember they aren't the real exam, they're only little tests to see where you are struggling and need extra help. And as for exams, focus on yourself, it doesn't matter how much/little other people say they have done, you just need to focus on yourself and what you personally want to get!
- If you have absolutely useless teachers, don't just sit back and use it as an excuse to do no work as trust me you'll regret it later. Use the time to revise with friends, see if the cover teacher knows anything or if you're doing a levels like me where you don't get cover teachers anymore then good luck haha.
- Find resources that help you for examples yes YouTube's great for entertainment well you'll also find it's pretty good for educational content as well. Textbooks are also really good as often they are written by the examiners so there's no chance of using the wrong exam board or finding the wrong information.
- My last tip is to not over stress yourself if you feel overflowed by work, remember your mental and physical health is more important then getting A's in exams, especially if they're only mocks. So hopefully some of you will find these exam tips useful, please let me know if they are. Good luck with all of your revision for exams/mocks etc, I believe in you aha. Talk to you guys soon.
