With the fixed number of distractions, you are struggling to concentrate on studying. Luckily for us, psychologists have proven that we get the grades we need. The studies are still relatively unknown, meaning not everyone is in these handy revision hacks. Adding in a few techniques to your studying routine in no time.

Being aware of what type of learner you are is very important when revising. Do you find yourself reading in pages and pages? We all know the struggle is real.

For example, if you're more of a visual learner then it's time to get creative and get all your coloured pencils and big sheets of paper out. Draw pictures which correlate to the most important aspects of each topic and visualize these images when you go into your exam. It really does work! For auditory learners, it's probably worth recording your lectures so that you can listen to them easily.

If you use a different colour for each topic you revise this can also help you to build an association between the two which significantly improves recall when filling out your exam paper.
