My first exam (modern history) is Wednesday. Today is Sunday. For the past few days my life has been about study, study and more study. Here’s the best tips I can give you:
Start NOW
Flashcards are the best way to study- you learn while making them AND by revising
Mindmaps are also good for connecting ideas
And because they can be messy
You don’t have time to be neat and meticulous (though go ahead if it helps you)
My advice is to just make it legible enough for YOU
Remember, this is for you
Practice papers are your friend
But let’s be real, you probably don’t have time
So instead of essays do essay plans, for example
Or practice introductions, that’s useful too. It helps you come up with ideas
Take care of yourself, you’re obviously busy, but take breaks for meals at the very least
Start with the hard stuff and then do the easy stuff
For example, I have been revising history during the day and annotating books at night as part of my nighttime reading
Try and get enough sleep while you can
Don’t forget the big picture
Talk to friends & family if you’re feeling anxious
Aim for 100%- Know as much as you possibly can, even if you don’t expect to get 100
Learn the structure of your exams, it’s so much less daunting on the day
Utilise your teachers if you need them
Breathe, it’ll be okay
You got this
Don’t forget to prepare the materials you’ll need
And go ace those exams :)
studying doesn’t have to be highlighters and a warm cup of coffee with sunlight shining through the window. it can be frantic reading, writing notes on scrap paper on a desk that barely fits your textbook because goddamn you just need to get this done is all.
studying isn’t an aesthetic, it’s learning. don’t let this fandom make you think otherwise.
What a lucky shot! While astrophotographer Fritz Helmut Hemmerich was capturing an image of the Andromeda galaxy, a sand-sized rock from deep space crossed right in front of the camera creating this incredible green streak. Or it was just aliens. 👽
Starting 2018 with my very first studyblr post ft. my kitten

I'm super proud of myself this semester. I worked really hard and got straight A's
27.04.16 don’t skive off school kids, unless you only have PE in the afternoon and there is a great coffeeshop round the corner to revise in
