My Top 20 Revision Tips

I've learned some valuable things about revision and I think I should share them with you:


  1. Don't trust anyone who says they enjoy revision. Revision is a force for evil and should be banned.
  2. You may believe that you just need to learn, you don't need to think while revising but you're wrong. Don't freak out when you can't find out what animal cell walls are made of *face palm*
  3. The "end of chapter summaries" in the maths textbook may look super helpful, and then you'll do a past paper and all hell will break loose.
  4. Don't do maths papers late in the evening.
  5. Avoid stress eating. Stress burns calories and if I am going to fail these exams I might as well take advantage of the system.
  6. Don't listen to "revision playlists" because they are all full of Einaudi and the loathing will distract you.
  7. If you do want to procrastinate, do something that is more boring or you are worse at, then you'll want to study.
  8. Keep tissues next to you for the inevitable tears of fear and frustration.
  9. Order new books to stroke when you get sad. Like a cat, but won't sit on your keyboard.
  10. If you are going to order books, make sure they're super boring so you don't actually want to read them.
  11. Facebook is just as boring as it was in 2011, don't go on it.
  12. If in doubt, enzyme substrate complex.
  13. If in doubt, partially permeable membrane.
  14. If in doubt, it's in relation to 1/12 of Carbon 12, assuming it is exactly 12.
  15. If in doubt, it's 109.5 degrees.
  16. If in doubt, it's a ln.
  17. Make friends with people who are super-good at your subject so you can text them all the time and ask them questions *checks to check have texted friends (who am I kidding, it's friend) who read blog*
  18. Buy a pen that looks like a syringe. Ooh medics club, won't you be jealous.
  19. Revise for Dumbledore.
  20. Or Voldemort. Whoever floats your boat.
