Well.. been as though I have 2 huge exams in the next couple of weeks (first one on friday, ahhh) I thought I'd help you struggles out there who just can't find the motivation to put pen to paper!
My Personal 10 steps to revision success:
1. Find a good place to work, it should be quiet and uncluttered.
2. Draw up a revision timetable - this has helped me a lot!
3. Don't just read through your classwork, make notes, lots of notes! It doesn't matter how much paper you use, it will help it go in a lot quicker if you repeat what you have written.
4. Make flashcards for certain topics (Write a question on one side of a piece of card and the answer on the other)
5. NEVER do work in/on bed, your bed should be a sanctuary not a desk.
6. Seek help, if you're stuck, ask someone!
7. Take 10 minute intervals regularly, it always helps me if I sit and talk to someone for a few minutes about non-exam stuff :)
8. Try and do as many past papers as possible, then it won't be totally unexpected in the exam.
9. Relax, the worst thing you can do is stress and cry about it! Work hard and concentrate and the time will fly by.
10. Do as much revision as possible, whenever you can - short bursts of 1/2 hour revisions throughout the day are better than long chunks of 6 hours.
This website really helped me, have a look!: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/advice/factfile_az/exams_stress
and remember, don't stress!!
Good luck everyone who has a levels/GCSE's in the forthcoming weeks!
