Everybody has different techniques for revision and exams. Have found something that works really well for you? If you have, don’t keep it to yourself, share it with the world!

Enter your tips into the box below and click send. We’ll collect them all together and make a page with them, and we’ll call it Norfolk Know How (or something like that!).

Some of our favourite tips so far:

“Stick post-it notes around the house with revision stuff on them and so it can be read all the time”

“A really good way of structuring your revision is by making a revision time table but making sure you leave some time for yourself. Also excersise, i go running most evenings and it really refreshes you and is a great way to relieve stress! Also there is no need to over do it, even 10 minutes can make a big difference in your concentration and how you feel.”
