Back to school: build a revision routine that lasts

The start of term is the cheapest time to get organised. Twenty minutes of setup now saves weeks of panic in May.

1, set your subjects and targets

Write down every subject, your exam board and a realistic target grade. Targets you can say out loud are the ones you revise for.

2, build a small weekly routine

  • Two fixed 30-minute sessions beat one heroic Sunday.
  • Rotate subjects so nothing is left untouched for more than two weeks.
  • Always finish a session by writing down one thing you still do not understand.

3, use exam-style questions early

Reading notes feels productive but rarely moves grades. Answering exam-style questions under time pressure does. Start with one paper per subject this term, not in the final month.

4, track progress honestly

Log each session with a confidence score and your score on any questions you attempted. Over a term this becomes a clear map of which topics are safe and which need work, which is exactly what a good revision plan is built on.
