Ok, it's been just over a week, and I'm really sorry for that, I've had assignments and my dissertation presentation to do, which I think went really well so I'm very happy now. I just have 1 more assignment and 4 exams to go before I finish for the summer. It's so exciting.
Ok, so the first thing you have to do is find out how you revise best whether it be with others or on your own; making cue cards; designing spider diagrams etc. Also what sort of time in the day do you work best. You also need to find out whether you work better with music or not, and what type of music you work best to. I like listening to movie music, like harry potter and the lord of the ring, when I do assignments and revise because they are quite soothing scores and it makes great background music. I know people who prefer to revise and listen to music that is more upbeat and motivating. Here is a couple of links to my playlists on YouTube that I have created just for you guys, you can copy the playlist and get rid of the songs you don't want in there.
Here is the upbeat music playlist:
Here is the calmer music playlist:
You can play around with those playlists if you want and just create the playlist that's perfect for you.
Another way to stay motivated while doing revision and assignments is to take regular breaks. This is a must because it means that you can refresh yourself, plus you can act like a crazy person to make sure you keep your sanity. You could arrange these breaks with your house mates and chill out together, maybe go get some food, go out shopping, hang around and be as lazy as you want. But make sure you really get back to the revision or assignments after. Planning your breaks can give you a clear goal of how long you are going to work for and how long you're going to relax for.
If you have any more suggestions for how you revise best, then let me know by commenting on this post or emailing me at sandra.spencelayh.92@gmail.com
Good luck with your exams :)
