Key terms explained!

1. Schedule Your Time

   Its really important that you schedule your time in the run up to assessments. Top tip: when creating your schedule, include your personal commitments so you can also work around these.

   
   

2. Pomodoro Technique

   Using this technique, you can space out chunks of revision and study time. Try doing 25-50 minutes of focused study with a break of 5-10 minutes in between each chunk.

   
   

3. Self Explanation

   Try practicing talking through a concept or study topic but ask your self 'why' and 'how' throughout. This helps to identify any gaps in your knowledge. You can also practice in front of friends, etc.

   
   

4. Flashcards

   They really work! Try breaking down a study topic into small chunks of information on a flashcard. Top tip: then try expanding this information into a bigger resource like a mind map using your flash cards.

5. Ask for Help

   If you're feeling anxious in the run up to assessments, you're not alone. Submitting assessments (especially for the first time) can seem daunting. There is a wealth of support available at UWTSD, so if you need support, reach out!
