What to do right now
Work out your weak spots
Do a past paper under timed conditions this week — not to revise, just to diagnose. Circle every question you weren't sure about. Those are your priority topics.
Build a revision timetable
Divide remaining weeks by number of subjects. Protect evenings before each paper. Aim for two focused hours per subject per day — not all-nighters.
Practise retrieval, not re-reading
Highlighting notes feels productive but doesn't work. Use flashcards, practice questions, and the "blank page" method. The effort of trying to recall is what makes it stick.
Get support before it's too late
The biggest gains come from targeted sessions in the six weeks before exams, not the night before. A tutor who knows your exam board can close specific gaps fast.
Don't let the clock run down
We match students with the right tutor in 48 hours. There's still time to make a difference.
