  • Question
    What is the best time to study?
    Community Answer
    That is largely up to you. Think about when you have free time in your schedule, and try to pick a time when you'll be awake, alert, and free of distractions.
  • Question
    How do I maintain a positive outlook?
    Community Answer
    Make a "to do" list and have a planner so that you know what you need to be doing. When a person is organised, he/she will automatically be more positive. Congratulate yourself on your accomplishments and if there's something you can't get done, don't be hard on yourself.
  • Question
    How can I divide my time between working and studying?
    Community Answer
    Wake up in the morning fairly early and work on your big tasks, then break for about an hour. Remember, a break doesn't have to be sitting on your phone. It could just be a walk around the local park.

    How can I make sure I stick to it?

    Make something fun in it, like allowing yourself a sweet treat every time you revise, and make your notes creative, so you don’t get bored.
  • Question
    Can we use the Pomodoro technique?
    Community Answer
    The Pomodoro technique is great for managing revision time, because it takes up less time and allows more breaks. Just make sure you know what subjects you should spend a lot more time on. For example, Physics or Math might take longer than other subjects.

    Shut the door, and let others in your house know that you are revising and need some quiet. If this fails, think about studying in a local library, or even at school.
  • Question
    How much time should I spend for each subject and break?
    Community Answer
    Not all subjects carry the same workload or require the same amount of studying. Plan more time for harder subjects and/or those with more homework. Spending around 40 minutes of studying followed by a 10-minute break will revitalize the brain without getting overwhelmed.
