Six revision habits that actually move grades

Re-reading notes feels productive but rarely sticks. Answer questions from memory, then check - active recall is what builds lasting understanding.

Examiners reward specific things. Mark your own answers against the mark scheme and you'll quickly see exactly where easy marks are being lost.

Short, regular sessions beat one long cram. Revisiting a topic a few days later forces your brain to work - and that effort is what makes it stick.

Knowing the content isn't the same as performing under pressure. Sit full papers to exam time so the real thing feels familiar.

It's tempting to revise what you're already good at. Spend most of your time on the topics that scare you - that's where the grades are hiding.

Memory consolidates during sleep. A rested brain on exam morning will out-perform a tired one that revised an extra hour the night before.
