Help me cos im about to cryyyy

1.

Please don't be hard on yourself. What you are feeling is normal, and there will be soooo many students out there who can completely empathise with how you're feeling.

2.

What modules/content would you like to revise? First, take a look at what you learnt in class in the relevant lessons, read over your notes and the textbook sections.

3.

Something which helped me was to create spider diagrams summarising the information. Or, if you prefer, use revision cards to make little quick guides to particular topics.

4.

Yes, youtube is your friend. If you don't understand a concept, youtube can be a good source of quick explanations/mini lesson vids. I used these for Science (freesciencelessons, The organic Chemistry Tutor etc) but you can find similar for many subjects.

5.

Test yourself on past paper questions. For topics you want to improve on or questions you did not get correct, make the question and model answer into a revision card.

6.

Get someone else to sit with you and teach them the content. Its a scientifically-proven way to help you understand and retain what you're learning. Teaching it to someone else will also improve your own confidence in the material or highlight bits you need more work on.

1.

Study little and often - small half-hour to hour long sessions perhaps. This will allow you to revise one or two topics at a time without overwhelming your memory or burning out your concentration.

2.

Take breaks - if you find yourself losing concentration - walk away for 10-15 minutes to read, watch some TV, get a drink or chat to someone. Perhaps even ask if someone could come and ask you questions or be a study partner for a while.

3.

Have a goal in mind - e.g. 'I'm going to aim to revise Organic Chem 1 and work on my mechanisms for that unit' - be realistic, set yourself a time limit and make sure you have something to look forward to after you finish. If you don't manage to achieve it, don't worry, don't be hard on yourself, you can always come back to it later.
