Plan your Revision
![Page 24: DEALING WITH EXAM STRESS...The Importance of Sleep A lack of sleep affects our: • decision-making skills • memory •thinking •ability to recall information • concentrationFoundations](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042416/5f312e90a1cc5979df448ead/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
It is recommended that you:
Plan for 4 hours of revision per day for about 10 days per fortnight = approx. 40 hours per fortnight.
Divide this time up between your subjects
Allow more time to the subjects you need to work harder at
Consider what percentage of each subject is assessed on the exam (e.g., maths is 100% whereas other subjects are only 40%)
Make sure you’re devoting enough time to your core subjects.
