“Failing to prepare is preparing to fail” – it’s an old saying but still very relevant. When you use all the time you have available to revise, you are giving yourself a better chance at remembering all your notes and allowing yourself time to revisit the hard topics that need going over. You can do this by creating schedules that start right from the beginning of your study leave, and organise time to revise your subjects in order of priority. Include a schedule for eating meals and going to bed. It is easy to get caught up in your books and revise late into the night, but by getting at least eight hours of sleep and having a healthy diet, you will also be feeding your brain, which in return will be better for your mental health.
