Christmas is a time for relaxing, having fun and spending time with family and friends. 1.It can be difficult to find the motivation for study when everyone around you is having so much fun. So, here are my top five tips for revising effectively over the Christmas break.
Set aside a few hours a day to revise.
Find the best time to revise and make sure that you stick to your timetable! For example, I find that I work best in the morning. 2.
Plan something fun to do every day.
Even if it’s just going for coffee with a friend or watching a film at home, this will give you something to look forward to and motivate you to finish your revision.
Explain to your family why your revision is important.
3.So, make efforts to tell them why your exams are important. Perhaps you can agree to do something nice with them when your exams are over.
4.

Remember that it won’t last forever.
You might have to spend your Christmas revising this year, and perhaps for a few more years, but soon enough you’ll be free of exams forever. 5.Have a great Christmas and make sure you find a balance between studying and celebrating. Good luck in your exams!
