Introduction
Revising effectively is crucial for academic success and
mastering any subject. Whether you're preparing for an
important exam, trying to improve your understanding of a
topic, or simply aiming to stay ahead in your studies, the right
revision strategies can make all the difference. This guide will

Study Schedule
Start your revision well in advance of the exam
dates.
Divide your study material into manageable chunks.
Set clear, achievable goals for each study session.
Allocate time for all subjects, giving more time to
those you find challenging.
Organize Your Study Space
Ensure your study space is comfortable, quiet, and free from distractions.
Have all necessary supplies like textbooks, notebooks, pens, and
highlighters within reach.
Make sure your study area is well-lit to avoid eye strain.
Use Active Study
Techniques
Write summaries of the material in your own words.
Create flashcards for key terms, dates, formulas, and
concepts.
Use mind maps to visualize relationships between
concepts.
Work on past exam papers and practice questions.
Take Regular
Breaks
Use techniques like Pomodoro (25 minutes of
study followed by a 5-minute break).
Take short walks or do light exercise to
refresh your mind.
Drink plenty of water to keep your brain
hydrated and functioning well.
Stay Positive and
Manage Stress
Maintain a positive mindset and believe in your abilities.
Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, or zikr-ullah.
Recognize the signs of burnout and take steps to manage your workload.
Healthy Lifestyle
Eat a healthy, balanced diet to fuel your
brain and body.
Ensure you get 7-9 hours of sleep per
night for optimal cognitive function.
Regular physical activity helps reduce
stress and improves concentration.
Review and
Revise

information fresh in your mind.
Use highlighters to mark important
information.
Schedule multiple revision sessions for
each subject.
Exam Techniques
Practice managing your time effectively during the exam.
Read all instructions thoroughly before starting your exam.
Start with the questions you are most confident about to secure those
marks first.
Planning Your Revision
It is important that you plan your revision in plenty of time for the examinations
and that you develop a revision technique that works for you.
A well-structured revision plan can give you the best chance of success in
your examinations. As early as possible, (at least six weeks before the
examinations for each subject) identify the time you will spend revising and
schedule slots for revision of each subject that you are taking examinations
in.
To create a revision schedule, you could use an overall planner for the weeks
leading up to the examinations. You could then create weekly revision plans
at the start of each week, which include the detail of which subjects you will
revise and when.

Planning takes time but will help you be more productive.


Use the following as a checklist to help you create your schedule
Write down the dates and times of each of the examinations you are
taking, in a calendar, diary or planner.
Work out how much time you have before each examination, so you can
leave yourself plenty of time to revise each subject.
For each subject make sure you:
know how long each examination paper is
know what each examination paper is going to assess
work out how much time you can spend on each topic so that you
revise all topics.
It is important to have breaks in order to stay alert and productive,
so make sure you:
include one rest day per week, or break this up into shorter rest breaks
across a week
include at least two hours of rest before bed time; working too late is unlikely to be
productive
take regular breaks during revision; revising for hours without a break will overload you
have short revision sessions and short breaks between each session
know ways to relax during your breaks; for example, physical exercise can be good during
breaks.
It is important to be flexible and realistic, so make sure you:
include most days leading up to the exams and include any days or times when you are
not able to revise (for example due to attending school, eating meals, participating in
sports and hobbies)
are honest with yourself about how much time you can really spend on each subject
and topics.
don’t get upset about plans that did not work – think of new plans that are easier to
achieve.
It might help to:

include a mixture of subjects each day

break up the material in your subjects into manageable chunks.

Plan to return to topics and review them; revisiting a topic means that
you can check that you still remember the material and it should help you
to recall more of the topic.

Include doing past paper examinations in your plan.
