How to prepare
Build habits that make revision feel manageable.
Revise in small sessions
Short, regular revision sessions are easier to repeat and easier to remember. Keep each session focused on one topic or skill.
Practice under timed conditions
Use simple timed exercises so you can manage pressure, improve speed, and become comfortable with the exam format.
Review mistakes carefully
Do not only complete practice tasks. Return to mistakes, understand them, and repeat them until they feel natural.
