   Tips

   • When you're brushing your teeth in the morning, try counting how many brush strokes you do. This will wake up your brain.
   • Play this study/revision test game in front of a group. Provided no one else knows the answers, you will appear very smart.
   • Make a timetable to guide you in revisions or reviews for tests.
   • If you don't like to study, then make a game of it. Give yourself revision questions to test yourself to see if you have learned anything. If not, keep studying! Get someone else to read the revision questions when you are sure of yourself. The person asking the question will be impressed and think you are clever (especially if there are hard questions on Science, Philosophy, Ancient History etc).
   • Do revision every morning, as this is a start of a fresh day.
