Balancing Mental Health and Revision Over Easter: You've Got This š
Easter break might feel like itās all about revision, but letās take a second to remember something really importantāyour mental health matters too. Yes, exams are coming. Yes, revision is key. But burning out in April doesnāt help you in May and June. So letās talk about how to make this Easter both productive and gentle on your brain.
1. š§ Structure HelpsāSo Plan Your Day
The best way to get the most out of your revision without feeling overwhelmed is to stick to a school-like routine. Use your normal school timetable as a guideāminus PE, unless you really want to throw in a jog (or dance around the kitchen, which totally counts).
Break your day into subjects, schedule in snack and screen breaks, and give yourself a proper finish time. You donāt need to be working 12 hours a day to succeedāyou need focus, not exhaustion.
2. šŗ Join Our Free Live YouTube Sessions
You donāt have to do this alone! All through the Easter holidays, weāre running free live revision lessons on YouTube, covering almost every GCSE and A-Level subject.
Each session includes:
Exclusive exam-style questions
Step-by-step walkthroughs
Tips on interpreting the question and laying out answers to match the mark scheme
Bring your notes, bring a cup of tea, and come revise with us in real-time.
3. š Use Our Predicted Papers (+ Free Walkthroughs!)
If youāre not sure what to revise, our predicted papers are a great place to start. Theyāre packed with realistic questions and come with free video walkthroughs that guide you through the answers.
They're perfect for self-testing, boosting confidence, and spotting where you need to focus next.
4. š¼ Be Kind to Yourself
Remember, you are not your grades. Taking breaks, having a lie-in, seeing friends, or just zoning out with your dog (hi from our black lab š¶) is not āwastedā time. Itās how your brain resets and gets ready for the next round of learning.
You're doing brilliantly. Take it one step at a time, keep showing up for yourself, and rememberāweāre here to help every step of the way š
