Work Smart

For brilliantly to revision, Your plans need to be:

• You need to be clear on what you know and what you don’t. The best way to do this is to find the syllabus specification for each exam you are sitting.
• Specific: establish what needs to be covered and prioritise the most urgent areas.
• Measurable: keep a clear track of what you have done and what remains to be done.
• Realistic: aim to do what you can realistically do to the best of your abilities. You have limited time and energy. Don’t spread yourself too thinly.
