Mock exams and summer exams are slowly sneaking up on us. This means that you are going to be busy with revision schedules, lesson notes and study posters. We’ve seen up close just how beneficial starting revision early can be. Not only are students better prepared and less stressed, but their final exam grades are likely to be much better than they expect! Follow the advice from Alex and Cameron:
‘Knowing the grades will be worth it in the end, success is a direct link to effort. The more effort you put in the greater the rewards will be, small gains everyday creates big improvements’.

So what are the benefits of starting revision early?

Less Stress!

There really is no better feeling for students than being prepared for upcoming exams, especially when students know they’ve put the work in. Getting on with revision sooner rather than later means much less stress and anxiety and you are prepared in advance.

Explore different revision techniques

Having time on their side means that students can explore different revision techniques rather than just sticking to one. This can involve a whole host of different ways to study.

Time to practice exam techniques

As they say, practice makes permanent. The earlier students start revising, the more time they’ll have to complete practice papers from previous years and get used to the format. All too often students have fantastic knowledge but their exam technique is lacking, which ends up affecting their final grade. There’s a whole load of practice papers available online to download and use, or teachers can provide tests from previous years.
