As exams approach, we’ve been talking to our resident geeks Colette and Amy about their favourite revision techniques.
You might not love hitting the books quite as much as these two Glide staffers, but we could all benefit from their tried and tested approach to swatting up.
Colette’s top three tips
1. There was never a dull moment for Colette during the revision period, she livened things up with a bit of background music courtesy of Radio 1.
2. Not one to let comfort eating in the midst of exam induced panic affect her waistline, Colette recommends swapping chocolate for berries to stay trim and healthy. All those super vitamins will stop you getting run down too.
3. Give the flurry of dull facts a bit of colour with bright pink flashcards. So pretty they’ll make you want to read them!
Amy’s top three tips
1. Amy believes in maximising your revision time (every minute of it) by putting Post-it notes everywhere, including around your mirror and in the loo! Every second in precious.
2. Some say it is one of the first signs of madness but Amy swears that talking to yourself will help you remember all those fun facts.
3. If you’re prepared to go one step beyond talking to yourself, would-be rapper Amy also recommends dropping a few rhymes to help jog the memory. ‘There once was a bard called Shakespeare / who wrote a play called King Lear’… You get the idea!
