Exam tips!

Hello my berries,

Now I thought I would change things up and do a lifestyle post instead of a beauty/fashion related one. For some of you, it is that time of year when you are revising hard for your GCSEs, IB diploma or A-Levels or a qualification of that sort. I am personally in the process of doing my GCSEs and I have to say it is rather hard to cope with all the work I am getting. I thought I would just share a few tips on how to cope with exam stress that have helped me personally.

1. Organise your work space
This is a big one for me, I think almost everybody finds it difficult to work in clutter and mess, as they say a tidy room is a tidy mind. Make sure you have somewhere that you can go for revision, that way you know when you have to work and it gets you ready to start doing some serious revision.

2. Get as many revision aids as you can
Flashcards, big A3 paper, post-it notes, and all that. GET IT! That way you can find out your preferred method of revision and try different ways so you don't get bored of doing the same thing for all of your subjects over and over again.

3. Make a revision timetable and stick to it
For some people, timetables don't work as it makes them feel like they are at school and can't make decisions. I personally love timetables, as it reassures me that I am on track and makes sure I am covering all subjects and topics that I need to cover. A good tip if your not a timetable kinda gal is just to make a tally table with all your subjects, and mark a tally on it every time you do revision for that subject, that way you know you are revising for ALL of them.

4. Try to enjoy some time
I am guilty of overworking myself and forcing myself to concentrate even when all I want to do is go to sleep. Don't get to the stage where you just want to give up, instead go out and have fun, and don't feel guilty about it. You are allowed to rest and have a break, you need breaks to be healthy and happy. People who take breaks are actually more able to concentrate as they don't feel like they spend there life revising.

Hope some of those tips helped, good luck with exams and revision everyone!
