Academia 30: My Christmas Holiday Revision Timetable

-
Hello my beautiful friends!

Today I have decided to share my revision timetable with all of you. I aim to briefly discuss how I create my revision timetable and provide you with ideas regarding how much revision I aim to do. Hopefully, this will motivate both myself and all of you to revise. Please note, I may not complete all of the revision that I aim to complete and everyone revises for different durations. You may prefer to revise less or more than me, which is perfectly okay because this may be more appropriate for you.


I have only created my revision timetable for the first week of the Christmas holiday because I have not received my work rota for the second week. I begin creating my revision timetable by inputting any work shifts and when I plan to go on a run. This provides a greater insight into how much time I have to revise in reality aside from other commitments.

Then, I input revision slots for my subjects. I begin with the subject I feel I need to revise the most (further maths) to the subject I feel I need to revise the least (maths). I repeat this cycle to ensure variety in my revision pattern. I prefer using 2-hour revision slots for each subject because I am more able to complete full tasks in this time period.

As always, I create my revision timetable on Microsoft Excel. This is my preferred tool because you can change your revision timetable easily and colour-code it for visual stimulus.

So, my aim for the first week of the Christmas holiday is to revise 10 hours of further maths, 10 hours of physics, 10 hours of economics and 8 hours of maths, which brings my total revision time to 38 hours. To stay motivated for this time period, I am going to be using the Flipd app. This Flipd app prevents distractions from your phone. Join my Flipd group by using the code EFAUAS or the group name "Study with Mathsstudygram". Let's get productive together!

How many hours of revision do you aim to do during your Christmas break? Let me know in the comments!

    A well-designed revision timetable shows you what you should be doing every single day before your exams. This means you can start a study session right away, before wasting valuable time flipping through the pages of your textbook, looking for a topic you could revise. Microsoft Excel is a great tool for keeping many sorts of information organized. I am definitely going to check out the Flipd app as you mentioned here that it prevents distractions from your phone. A simple habit of making a timetable and following it seems simple but leads to great results and organized life. Thanks for sharing a motivational post for students. Keep sharing.

Academia 33: University of Birmingham Offer-Holder Day

Hello my beautiful friends! Once you have received an offer from a university, you may be invited to an offer-holder day. This is similar to an open day, but is accessible to offer-holders only. I attended an offer-holder day at the University of Birmingham and have decided to give a review about it. What did I do? Was it a worthwhile event? Did it change my perspective on the university? I hope to answer these questions and more in order to advise you about offer-holder days. I attended this offer-holder day with my mum. To begin the day, we were provided with refreshments (the university was very hospitable, as you will find out later in this post) and able to talk to students & staff about the university. Following this, I was split up with my mum because the parents had a separate itinerary. I attended three talks, which lasted a total of 40 minutes altogether. The talks covered the course, teaching, student life (this talk was presented by current students) and ind...

Academia 32: My UCAS Experience

-
Hello my beautiful friends! I have decided to write a diary-style blog post about my UCAS experience. When I was starting Year 12, I remember feeling daunted by the UCAS process and unsure about what to expect. Eve Bennett, a revision Youtuber, uploaded a diary-style video about her UCAS experience, which was very helpful. Similarly, I hope to help some of you through this blog post about my own experience. 02/07/18 Today I started my UCAS application (I had a UCAS day at sixth form)! I filled in all of the relevant forms and completed the first draft of my personal statement. It was not as daunting as I thought it would be and the form itself did not take long to fill out... I'd advise that you do a few supercurricular activities to ensure you have subject-relevant things to write about on your personal statement (this makes the process so much easier). 26/09/18 There is a slight gap between my last entry and this one. During this time, I have redrafted my personal state...

Academia 24: Staying Productive in Sixth Form

-
Hello my beautiful friends! This blog post was requested from my Instagram story and I thought it'd be useful for those starting Year 12. Recently, I participated in a collab with other Year 13 Studygrammers called #howtoalevel in which we shared our tips for new Year 12s, so I thought it'd be fitting to repeat that Instagram post in blog post form. Here are my top 10 tips for those starting Year 12... 1. Relax during the summer between Y11 & Y12. Some Sixth Forms/colleges set bridging work, so do complete this, but do not do any additional work to avoid burning out in Y12. 2. Make your notes as you go along. After every lesson, write up your class notes onto flash cards/mind maps/whatever resource you use to revise. 3. Use a variety of sources to make your notes. As well as using your class notes, use your textbook/revision guide and/or reliable websites to ensure your notes are sufficient and cover everything. (Feel free to ask me for Physics and Economics we...
