• Draw up a study plan ahead of the exam season, and start revising early.
•Allocate enough time to go through each subject, and set aside even more time for the challenging ones.
• Sum up key points, and compile study notes or a mind map. Take time to structure and make sense of information; try not to memorise.
• Write down and talk through what you have learnt.
• Review your notes at a desk, not on your bed.
• Try practice papers to familiarise yourself with key concepts.
• Do not be afraid to consult a teacher or a friend if you have problems understanding a topic.
• Take short, regular breaks - 15 minutes for an hour of revision, for instance.
• Look up common mistakes made in past tests and exams, and learn from them.
• Reward yourself occasionally - maybe with a movie - to stay motivated.
• Get a good eight hours of sleep every night.
