Creating a positive space for study and a revision timetable

1. Storage for notes and resources – have a box or an area where you keep your notes in folders. Put elastic bands around flash cards, and put your mind maps or diagrams up on your wall so you feel a sense of pride at their completion
2. Make sure that you have a flat surface on which to work
3. Manage screens – computers are useful for certain types of revision
4. Working in front of the TV – better to work well for a shorter period and reward yourself with TV
5. Phones. Turn it off. Turn it back on when you finish your revision task. Use it as a reward
6. Create a timetable and spread out subjects (but no more than 15 minutes to make it!)
7. Put your hardest subjects at the times when you have the most motivation
8. Start the day by ‘eating your live frog’
9. Build in rewards and self-feedback

Please find below the presentation and documents from the evening.
