HELP! I can't revise properly!

I normally find that I feel better, and more in control, the more I revise. Once you realise that you have some grasp over the materials, you will begin to feel a little more calm, and will then be able to revise more effectively.

The problem, I guess, is getting started in the first place. There's no trick, you just HAVE to make that first move. Download a past paper, and complete it. You can use your notes, books, and take as long as you need- but you need to get some practice of the exam questions. Then take it from there once you know what you need to revise.

take some initiative

ranting on TSR won't get you anywhere

I feel exactly the same

Which biology exam board are you?

Small chunks at a time!
Go through your text book or notes and find the main points, summarise it and put it onto post it notes. I stuck mine around my mirror on my wardrobe on the tv and in kitchen cuboards on the fridge and microwave etc, read them everytime you see them - and it soon sinks in! Sounds silly but it worked for me. Different coloured post it notes and highlighters for diffent topics/ subjects.
Getting started isthe hardest bit, once you get started its so much easier, dont leave it too late. Good luck! x

I feel exactly the same as you! I tried revising earlier and got distracted, and I don't feel motivated to do any either - even though I know these grades will help me get into uni! Definitely get off TSR though, it's such a distraction when you're trying to revise...in fact, just get off the computer altogether.

OCR. You?

Ty, but do you think that 5 weeks is enough time to revise for 4 science exams and 2 maths exams and one other?

OCR! It sucks. Im really not doing very well in it.
I got a U last year and an E in January Absolutely gutted.

is the other general studies/critical thinking by any chance?? im doing 2 science, 3 maths and 2 general studies.
Think positively, theres no point thinking i should have done more by now. get your head done and start working now.
Some tips i've been told/done myself

-make a timetable, but not with fixed times as if you miss one you'll become more stressed and worried, have headings like morning, afternoon, early evening and late evening. and dont forget to fit in revision around you everday activities.
-make a list with a summary on it for each module, and put a tick or cross/red orange green next to each bullet point depending how good you are. this way you have a better idea which bits to revise most.
-take short sessions if your easily distracted and have short breaks, and i mean short, within longer sessions.
-have a fixed time, like, i will do an hour of chemistry etc.
-get a calender or make your own and put a ring around the dates of the exams, this will put some pressure on you to work harder, but if this makes you so stressed you work worse, dont.
-dont spend so long on tsr procastanating like me

do you know what type of learner you are?

hope this helps

Yea, u tooo!! haha but im mostly panicking becuase i cannot fail this year, its not an option!!! Good Luck!

doing science a2s atm
but revise a chapter, then do past questions, then take a break...seems to work for me
also delete fb, turn off your phone, and if you can turn off your internet (unless you reallt need it)
that helps i did it last summer, and got As and Bs, compared to my Bs and Cs in jan when i didn't do this
hope this helps!
