The thought of having to revise can be daunting. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here, we share our dos and don’ts for tackling revision with more of a positive mindset.
Is the thought of having to revise for your next exam or a resit getting you down?
It may be because you’re yet to get into revision mode or it could be that you’ve always struggled when it comes to revising. Whatever your situation, there are plenty of practical methods you can follow to make your revision more manageable.
One of the best places to start is with your mindset. Because if you don’t feel motivated to revise because you see it as a negative thing, it won’t encourage you to get stuck into it.
Ideally, you need to approach your revision with a positive mindset. At the end of the day, it’s something you’ve got to do and will benefit your career, so why not reframe your thinking?
