Revising for your exams can be tedious but is a necessary part of your University course, so being able to find the best ways of revising is key for your success.

Revising for your exams is tough but necessary. Trying to stay focused whilst revising is even harder. The process of revising for your exams and the inevitability of the exam day approaching can cause stress and anxiety, potentially resulting in a mental health spiral
To be able to achieve the best grade you can in your exams, requires you to have the best possible mental health too. So keeping on top of your mental health and how you are feeling will really help you during exam season.
The key to studying for exams and looking after your mental health is planning. Break down your study schedule using a revision timetable template (see below for more details). Allocate specific time slots for each subject, ensuring you cover all material thoroughly without feeling rushed
Find the best place to revise. This can really help to make take any any exam stress feelings. You might find studying on your bed a bit more relaxing and quiet, or if you want to also be social, head to your University library and revise there. Whatever is the best place for you, might not be the best place for your friends, so if you plan to have a study group session, make sure you’re all on the same page about where you will be revising
Exercising and eating healthy during exam season will also really help your mental health. In general eating healthily and working out is good for you, but even more so when you are also under pressure. Exercising gives your brain time to focus on something other than revision and exams. Going outside will also do wonders for your mental health too
And most importantly, know when to seek help. Lecturers and other members of University staff are there to support you if you’re struggling. You are not alone. Reach out if you need help.
