Making a Start

[1] Motivation

Think about WHY you want to do well in your exams:

• Sixth Form

• Dream Job

• Proving yourself

Focus on YOUR goals and DON'T compare yourself to others!

[2] Starting out

• Don't waste time - Just get started!

• Turn off your phone (or put it in another room)

• Don't listen to music - it is a distraction

• Revise in short bursts

• Start with something small - ease yourself in

[4] Targets

• Be realistic - make your targets manageable

• Make targets for each session, each day, each week, each term

• When you hit a target, give yourself a reward

• Give enough time to tough topics

[5] Environment

• Think about where it is best to revise for YOU

• There are lots of options (look left)

• Close the door - shut out noise

• Turn your phone OFF

• Turn on a light

• Get a comfy seat

• Get a drink of water or cup of tea!
