If you haven’t already done so, NOW is the time to organise the place where you can do your best work revising for exams. You should already have a plan in place of what you intend to revise and when (Tip #1), but WHERE is also important.  You need somewhere free from distraction.  In front of the TV or Youtube doesn’t cut it!  AND if you are someone who likes to shut out the world by playing music while you revise, then pick the slowest and most melodic songs from your playlist.  In fact classical music is the best option for supporting your genius thinking but I know this may not be a realistic option.  Your own quiet space with all the things you need to study is best and let the rest of your family know (politely) when to respect your need to focus on “learning stuff off by heart”.  Of course this does lack some credibility if it is a last minute panic the night before an exam!

NOTE: In terms of all the things you need to study, NOW is also the time to ensure you have all the notes you should have.  If there are gaps then it is up to you to fix this by begging from a reliable friend or your teacher.

So, to recap, by now you know

• WHAT you are going to study and
• WHEN as well as
• WHERE you will be doing this to maximise the results of your efforts.
