Hey I’m in Yr 11 and struggling to cope with all the revision load
I’ve been revising regularly but feel like I’m getting knowhere and none of it has been affective
I’ve really dropped my grades this year getting rly low grades (2-4) - I do a lot of dance outside of school and am struggling to manage it all
I feel like I’m running out of time before my mocks does anyone have any tips on how to manage it??

Create a revision timetable that includes time for you to rest and attend your dance sessions

•

Watch videos and make notes

•

Make flashcards on topics you struggle to remember

•

Practise past papers so you can master exam technique- (I usually use PMT for my sciences and Mathsgenie for maths)

•

Remember, you don’t need motivation, you need discipline. Start the hard work now for the best results

•

Look after yourself. Have regular breaks and good sleep

Good luck- You can do it!!

Hi, It sounds like you're dealing with a lot, and it's completely to feel overwhelmed, juggling year 11 revision, mocks etc. The key is quantity over quality: instead of trying to revise everything at once, focus on small, targeted sessions for the subjects/topics that matter most or where you've been losing marks.

Hi there! (:

sorry to hear your feeling a bit stressed with your mocks 🙁 - id recommend making a study plan, pop in all the times outwith school youve got your other commitments, such as your dance - this will then let you see how much time you have and will let you structure it a bit better & plan ahead (:

I always find it a bit helpful to change where im revising, especially when im revising for a while, sometimes just taking small breaks in the middle to move place, get a sweet treat and a walk is great for keeping the momentum!

best of luck with your mocks💜
