Vital Revision Tips

Schedule revision or study periods for your most productive times during the day. E.g., if you feel fresh and agile in the morning, make sure you do most of your studying at that time. 

You should also try to:

  • Prioritize exams that make up a large percentage of a subject's grade
  • Highlight important points in your study notes
  • Take regular study breaks to refresh your mind.
  • Use various study revision tools, including books, audio guides, and videos that can be accessed online.
  • Take a look at past questions papers, so you get a feel for the questions and timings
  • Make time for relaxation with family and friends.

2. Preparation One Month Before the Exam

If you are a school student, the chief examiner or GCE Board should provide you with an acceptance slip or entry statement.

Your Statement of Entry directs you on when your exams are being held to make appropriate travel arrangements. Make sure you bring this form with you on exam day.
