9.00- Tips
10.00 • Use your school timetable to help make sure you are balancing your time
10.05- equally (Shift it back an hour if you want a mini lie in)
11.05
11.30- • Using the school timetable helps you to stick to a routine you are already used
12.30 to which will make it easier to follow
12.35-
13.35 • Use the additional hours for the subjects you find hardest/need to catch up on
15.00-
16.00 • Stick to your scheduled breaks. Most students need a 5 minute break every
16.05- hour minimum.
17.05
19.00- • Revise the hardest content when your energy and focus are best (for me that
20.00
is first thing in the morning)
Step 1: Put in the times of your usual lessons. You will revise these subjects at this time to
stick to a routine you are used to and to spread your time equally
