Use these tips to get organised and bid farewell to revision stress Preparing for exams can feel a bit overwhelming, especially when you have a pile of materials to sort through and no idea
where to begin. Creating a revision timetable can help you organise all that you have to do and create a plan of attack to make sure you’ve covered everything come exam day. So how do you
create a timetable that will work for you? * START EARLY. Creating your table sooner rather than later will allow you to get a good idea of how much time you’ll need and give you time to
deal with any unforeseen problems. * MAKE A LIST. Start by making a list of all the subjects you have to cover then break down that list into subcategories of topics. * PRIORITISE. Look at
when your exams are scheduled to get a better idea of which subjects you’ll have to master first. Also keep in mind which topics will be most time consuming. Which will you need to spend the
most time reviewing? Plan to begin working on these subjects earlier in the week. * BREAK UP SUBJECTS. Don’t lump all the difficult stuff you’re avoiding together. Organise your timetable
so that you’ve interspersed topics you’re confident in and can move through quickly in between those topics you find more problematic and will be spending more time on. * KNOW YOUR STUDY
HABITS. Do you work better early in the morning or late at night? Do you need variation in your tasks to keep focused or do you prefer finishing one subject before moving on to the next?
Knowing your study style will allow you to create a timetable that is realistic and works for you. * FACTOR IN OTHER COMMITMENTS. Just because it’s exam time doesn’t mean the rest of your
life is put on hold. Don’t forget to include any work schedules, appointments, and activities into your planning. * GIVE YOURSELF BREAKS. It would be wonderful if you could sit down to work
and not stop until everything was finished. But the reality is that after a few hours of work, you start to lose focus. Scheduling regular breaks will give you a chance to step away from
your studies and relax. When you return you will be refreshed and ready to focus. Just make sure a short break doesn’t turn into a whole night of slacking off! * BE FLEXIBLE. Your timetable
is a guideline to keep you on track, but it’s impossible to know exactly how long every task will take. Don’t panic if you spend a bit longer than you originally anticipated on a particular
subject. For the first few days, see how well your actual studying matches with your planned studying, and adjust the rest of the week accordingly. Good luck and happy revising.
