As exam season approaches, many young people rely on revision techniques that feel productive but offer limited long-term impact.
Rereading notes and highlighting can create a false sense of confidence, leaving gaps in understanding when it matters most.
Our latest #WakeUpWednesday guide shares simple, evidence-informed strategies to support more effective revision, including:
• Retrieval practice to strengthen memory
• Spaced revision to improve retention
• Building manageable and consistent routines
With practical advice for parents and educators, the guide helps create a balanced approach that supports both confidence and wellbeing.
