Revision season is in full swing ahead of exams. Over on Twitter, we've been pumping out lots of revision tricks and hacks to help you nail your exams.

So if you prefer your study tips in small, bitesized nuggets, enjoy these - they could make a big difference when revising for your exams.
Have a specific revision problem? Explore our whole revision area to see if we have the answer.

Start with a study timetable. It's a quick win and will help you get a grasp of what needs to get done!
Revision help and hacks: whi.ch/2Av4v0Q
- Which? University (@WhichuniUK) April 5, 2019

A revision timetable helps you focus on what needs to be done and when by, which is very useful as exam season approaches. Essentially, it will make you study more efficiently and wisely.

We'd recommend putting your timetable together on a cloud storage service like Google Docs or an app, so you can easily access it wherever you're working from.

Start by dividing how long you have until your exams by how many subjects you study. Then, divide all the topics and areas you need to cover.

You can (and should) use this information to help put together your revision timetable.

It's important to challenge yourself, but try not to give yourself unachievable aims for one study session.

Manageable goals will help keep you motivated - so instead of expecting yourself to absorb everything about Henry VIII's reign in half an hour, maybe focus on committing to memory ten key dates. After all, not many of us would be able to learn everything you need to know about any given topic in just one sitting.

Writing down everything you need to remember can really help things stick! Gradually refine pages and pages down to brief notes and acronyms.
Revision advice and tips: whi.ch/2Av4v0Q
- Which? University (@WhichuniUK) April 5, 2019

Try to avoid reading the same set of notes over and over (and over) again - you'll probably get bored and will stop taking things in.

Keep shortening your revision notes, as by doing this you're continually interacting with what you need to remember.

Sleep is important! Exam season can be emotionally (and literally) exhausting. Try to get at least eight hours a night (and stick to a routine).
- Which? University (@WhichuniUK) April 5, 2019.

Good sleep can help you remember things more easily, which is very important when it comes to revising and taking exams.

If you don't sleep well, you're also more at risk of burning out and losing focus and motivation.

Pick your study buddies carefully!
Which ones let you crack on or make a positive difference, and which ones just distract you?
If you think you'll get more done on your own, do it!
- Which? University (@WhichuniUK) April 5, 2019

Simply put, you have to be a little selfish when it comes to studying and revising.

This doesn't mean you can't make any time for your friends or that you need to be alone all the time - but it does mean that you have to prioritise yourself and what kind of study works best for you.

Take time out to relax your brain, as otherwise you may find it tricky to concentrate and really absorb things.

Go for a walk, watch an episode or two of a TV show you like, catch up with your friends, or anything else that will help you wind down.

Music without vocals may prove the most study-friendly option - anything with lyrics could distract you and make you want to perfect your lip sync rather than revise.

It may also be worth not listening to your favourite artists and songs while studying - your future enjoyment of them could be at risk!

Apply what you've committed to memory through revising by tackling exams from previous years - it will help you focus what you know to achieve the highest marks.

It's also worth doing some past papers under exam conditions, to give you a better sense of how quickly you need to work through them when the day comes.

Many of us know the feeling of deciding to 'quickly check Instagram' to then find ourselves still watching stories hours later.

If the prospect of deleting your social media apps feels like a step too far, maybe just be strict with yourself about when you can use them and for how long.

You might be surprised by how much your productivity improves, as a result.

Now you've got some ideas to jumpstart your revision...

Study Skills that support Students with Dyslexia

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This webinar is for Post Primary Teachers and concentrates on practical study skills/strategies that help students with dyslexia to achieve their potential.
Students with dyslexia may experience difficulties with organisation, reading, memory and learning, note-taking, writing and spelling. They may find it hard to show what they know in exams due to misreading questions and poorly structured answers.

This webinar is for teachers and concentrates on practical study skills/strategies that help students with dyslexia to achieve their potential. It might also be relevant to teachers of students with other specific learning difficulties such as ASD or Dyspraxia as they can share some of these difficulties.

Topics covered include:

The difficulties students with dyslexia experience at second level.

Organisation and goal setting.

Reading and comprehension skills.

Note-taking, memory and learning strategies.

Writing techniques including understanding the question being asked, structuring answers, vocabulary development and choice of essay.

Useful websites/Apps on study, on-line tutorials, subject specific revision notes.

Many of these strategies have come from the Study Skills Workshop for Senior Cycle students with Dyslexia which has been run for many years. The workshop has been adapted over time by the students' comments and their evaluation of what worked best for them. The majority of students attending the course did not qualify for additional teaching support and who, while taking several higher level subjects, were struggling to achieve their potential due to their dyslexia.
Presenter - Wyn McCormack
Wyn McCormack worked as guidance counsellor and special education teacher as well as being the parent of three sons with dyslexia. She has designed and presented courses on dyslexia for teachers, parents and students since 1996. She is the author of the Factsheets on Dyslexia at Second Level (2014), Lost for Words 3 rd Ed. 2007, and co-author of Dyslexia, an Irish Perspective 2 nd Ed 2010.

Many people mistakenly believe that the ability to learn is a matter of intelligence. For them, learning is an immutable trait like eye color, simply luck of the genetic draw. People are born learners, or they're not, the thinking goes. So why bother getting better at it?

And that's why many people tend to approach the topic of learning without much focus. They don't think much about how they will develop an area of mastery. They use phrases like "practice makes perfect" without really considering the learning strategy at play. It's a remarkably ill-defined expression, after all. Does practice mean repeating the same skill over and over again? Does practice require feedback? Should practice be hard? Or should it be fun?

A growing body of research is making it clear that learners are made, not born. Through the deliberate use of practice and dedicated strategies to improve our ability to learn, we can all develop expertise faster and more effectively. In short, we can all get better at getting better.

Here's one example of a study that shows how learning strategies can be more important than raw smarts when it comes to gaining expertise. Marcel Veenman has found that people who closely track their thinking will outscore others who have sky-high IQ levels when it comes to learning something new. His research suggests that in terms of developing mastery, focusing on how we understand is some 15 percentage points more important than innate intelligence.

Here are three practical ways to build your learning skills, based on research.

Organize your goals
Effective learning often boils down to a type of project management. In order to develop an area of expertise, we first have to set achievable goals about what we want to learn. Then we have to develop strategies to help us reach those goals.

A targeted approach to learning helps us cope with all the nagging feelings associated with gaining expertise: Am I good enough? Will I fail? What if I'm wrong? Isn't there something else that I'd rather be doing?

While some self-carping is normal, Stanford psychologist Albert Bandura says these sorts of negative emotions can quickly rob us of our ability to learn something new. Plus, we're more committed if we develop a plan with clear objectives. The research is overwhelming on this point. Studies consistently show that people with clear goals outperform people with vague aspirations like "do a good job." By setting targets, people can manage their feelings more easily and achieve progress with their learning.

Think about thinking
Metacognition is crucial to the talent of learning. Psychologists define metacognition as "thinking about thinking," and broadly speaking, metacognition is about being more inspective about how you know what you know. It's a matter of asking ourselves questions like: Do I really get this idea? Could I explain it to a friend? What are my goals? Do I need more background knowledge? Or do I need more practice?

Metacognition comes easily to many trained experts. When a specialist works through an issue, they'll often think a lot about how the problem is framed. They'll often have a good sense of whether or not their answer seems reasonable.

The key, it turns out, is not to leave this sort of "thinking about thinking" to the experts. When it comes to learning, one of the biggest issues is that people don't engage in metacognition enough. They don't stop to ask themselves if they really get a skill or concept.

The issue, then, is not that something goes in one ear and out the other. The issue is that individuals don't dwell on the dwelling. They don't push themselves to really think about their thinking.

Reflect on your learning
There is something of a contradiction in learning. It turns out that we need to let go of our learning in order to understand our learning. For example, when we step away from a problem, we often learn more about a problem. Get into a discussion with a colleague, for instance, and often your best arguments arrive while you're washing the dishes later. Read a software manual and a good amount of your comprehension can come after you shut the pages.

In short, learning benefits from reflection. This type of reflection requires a moment of calm. Maybe we're quietly writing an essay in a corner - or talking to ourselves as we're in the shower. But it usually takes a bit of cognitive quiet, a moment of silent introspection, for us to engage in any sort of focused deliberation.

Sleep is a fascinating example of this idea. It's possible that we tidy up our knowledge while we're napping or sleeping deeply. One recent study shows a good evening of shut-eye can reduce practice time by 50%.

The idea of cognitive quiet also helps explain why it's so difficult to gain skills when we're stressed or angry or lonely. When feelings surge through our brain, we can't deliberate and reflect. Sure, in some sort of dramatic, high-stakes situations, we might be able to learn something basic like remember a phone number. But for us to gain any sort of understanding, there needs to be some state of mental ease.

The good news from all of this - for individuals and for companies looking to help their employees be their best - is that learning is a learned behavior. Being a quick study doesn't mean you're the smartest person in the room. It's that you've learned how to learn. By deliberately organizing your learning goals, thinking about your thinking, and reflecting on your learning at opportune times, you can become a better study, too.
