10 steps to revise for an exam (and my recommended timeline)

Quickly go over the material that will be covered on the exam. Put each topic into a category of "Good" "Okay" and "Bad" based on your understanding of that topic. (Day 0 - Before revising)

Look at steps 3-10 and put them into a study plan that you can follow. This will keep you on track and ensure you cover everything. (Day 0 - Before revising)

First, start with your "Okay" list. Briefly revise each topic, focusing on definitions, formulas, and general concepts. At this point, you should be ensuring that you know the information, not focusing on exam practice. I like using flashcards for this step to ensure I actually know the information (Day 1)

Now, do the same for your "Good" list. (Day 1 or 2)

Once you've done steps 2 and 3, you're ready to practice! If your professor has given you practice/review questions, use those. You can also find great questions in your textbook or from past assignments. (Day 2)

Now, focus on your "Bad" category. Do a much more thorough review of the information in this category, almost as if you're learning it for the first time. This is a step where flashcards may be super helpful, especially if you need to power through a lot of memorization work (Day 3).

This is where you practice your "Bad" category. Make sure to do multiple questions for each topic to ensure that you're prepared for anything that comes your way (Day 4).

Revisit all the information you've studied over this process, and do more practice problems on the topics you're struggling with the most. (Day 5)

Take a deep breath, get some sleep, and eat a good meal! (Exam day!)

Take your exam!

We need to stop romanticizing exhaustion and burn-out. Society glamorizes working to the point your body gives up. Working yourself until you become sick from it should not be a sign of "a good, committed worker", but a sign of someone who cared too much about everything and everyone but never cared enough about themselves.

I recently learnt that executive dysfunction can be broken down into two main categories: anxiety that your attempt won’t be satisfactory, or confusion about where to start or how to break it down into steps. As much as we feel bad about it, it’s extremely important to remember that it is NOT laziness and we in fact shouldn’t feel bad.

hey reblog this instead

[constellatedlove]

there’s something so incredibly soft about the phrase “this made me think of you.” or, “this reminded me of you.” like!!!! being known is scary but then people see fragments of you in the world around them and can’t help but share that love and i think that’s beautiful.

Not to offer advice nobody asked for but fixing ur sleep schedule is life changing

[hakuteeth]

Things that actually work if u try at them:

Drinking water

No longer making self deprecating jokes

Making sure to take time out of the day to relax and take a breather

Lighting candles

Counting ur breaths in and out if ur having a panic attack

Getting up and trying to do one thing even if u can’t do everything maybe brushing ur teeth but not having the energy to shower

[justummsomeguy]

Taking a shower if you can, putting clean clothes on if you can’t, even just a clean set of pjs. Washing your face.

A couple weeks ago I was in a major depressive slump and was feeling really detached from reality. I was trying so hard to fight it but nothing I tried worked until I realized I hadn’t listened to any happy music in almost a week.

I didn’t feel like listening to anything at all but I put on my favorite playlist anyway. Take On Me started and I finger stimmed to the keyboard riff and hummed along and by the end of the song I was smiling. A few more songs and I was fully singing along and feeling more present than I had in days.

Even if it seems small and trivial, like putting on your favorite socks or looking up pictures of kittens, it might be something you need. Of course the music didn’t solve any of the problems I was upset about, but it did help me feel like I was a person again.

This isn’t one of those “must be good to be neurotypical” posts btw, these are small and accessible steps that can really help.

I love women who are unabashedly big.

Women with big laughs, big smiles, big voices, big bodies, and even bigger personalities to match. Women that don’t care if they take up space with long strides and sit with their legs miles apart.

They give big hugs and big kisses, and they have big hearts. Big, proud women are amazing.

I'm in love with unvoluntary validation of a relationship. My best friend saying "our spot", my brother saying "our cookie recipe" or my mum saying "our song". Like YES I LOVE YOU TOO. I'm so soft for it.

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

there is nothing in this life quite as wonderful as knowing you, as loving you. it is a comfort and a privilege– to meet your gaze, to make you smile, to hug you tightly, to know you’re in this world with me.

You got through the days you worried most about, you got through the weeks you were anxious about, and you got through the months you felt at your worst. Take a moment to be proud of yourself for that, and maybe even reward yourself. I believe in you for going through and doing well in the moments you still have ahead of you.

[angelaeleni]

If you are easily clouded or overwhelmed, try setting boundaries with yourself first. Be okay to sometimes say no to yourself: no I don’t need to watch this now, no I don’t need to stay up this late, no I don’t need to go to this place, no I don’t need to go out with these people. Say no for you. Saying no to something that doesn’t serve us is saying yes to what does. It allows for something even more amazing to come through for us.

accomplishments of the day: still alive, went to work, had a sandwich for dinner, saw prettiest version of the moon i’ve seen in ages, snap chatted with a pretty girl, continued my pencil shading practice, caught up with friends briefly, gave my dog her flea medication

[kunstbaby-deactivated20150808]

friends can break ur heart too

[recoversuggestions]

friendly reminder that you didn’t waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort, any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.
