Back to school

The holidays are over, and it’s back for an intensive few weeks where your teachers will be pulling out all the stops to help you do your best in the exams.

Your best chances of success lie in attending these sessions rather than doing your own thing.

Every lesson is crucial:

• Many weeks’ worth of learning will be summarised so that you get the sweep of the whole text
• You get to go back over ideas covered earlier in the course and, with a better understanding, see how they can be applied in potential exam answers
• Disparate themes and images will be drawn together to make sense
• It’s a great opportunity to get help on areas you are not confident in
  

So, make notes like crazy, ask lots of questions and reflect on how far you have already come. This is a time for sharing knowledge, before hunkering down on your own during study leave.

If for some reason you do miss a revision session, if the text features on Crossref-it.info you’re in luck. Otherwise, get a friend to lend you their notes, but don’t be surprised if they don’t want to let them out of their sight for very long…
