<\/p>\nIf you have a trip planned but there are exams coming up \u2013 or you should be studying – then there\u2019s no need to panic. Even if you\u2019re on holiday there are still plenty of things that you can to do make sure that you get the study and revision time that you need.\u00a0 Here is ETG’s guide on how to revise on holiday:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There\u2019s an enormous array of technical help when it comes to studying on the move now. From study apps, to Skype calls, you can access whatever help you need from your devices \u2013 you may not even need to have phone reception to do it. Before you go away think about what you might need to do before you go \u2013 download apps, create documents and add notes to a phone, laptop or tablet so that they can be accessed wherever in the world you are.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t want to rely on technology while you\u2019re away \u2013 or you want to avoid a lot of screen time \u2013 try flash cards instead. Flash cards are light, they\u2019re simple to pack and carry and they\u2019re enormously effective too. In revising terms flash cards enable you to break down revision into manageable chunks \u2013 perfect for avoiding panic and ideal for fitting in a session to a train ride, car trip or plane journey.<\/p>\n
Whether you use a hard copy diary or set reminders on your phone, if you\u2019re studying while on holiday it\u2019s a good idea to make sure you know where you are with the course you\u2019re on. Key reminders might include upcoming submission deadlines and exam dates, any milestones you need to reach, as well as information that should be sent to you on a certain date by teachers or classmates at home.<\/p>\n
Dividing up the revision topics in a group means that everyone gets to work on the topic they know best. When you\u2019re back together \u2013 or over Skype \u2013 share the study notes, explanations and context. Human beings tend to work better in groups and we learn best when we\u2019re really engaged. You have a much better chance of picking up what you need to know if your friend explains it really well than after five hours with your head in a book \u2013 plus, you reduce your study\/revision time commitment on holiday too.<\/p>\n
Noise can be really distracting, so make sure to take some earplugs to make sure your brain can really concentrate on the topic at hand. This might also mean revising outside is a good option, as long as you can focus, you shouldn’t have to resign yourself to indoor learning.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re meant to be on holiday and if you spend the entire time working you won\u2019t get a break and you\u2019ll feel increasingly miserable. Dedicate time to study and then put everything away and go and do something totally different. The refreshing effect on your brain will enable you to study even more effectively when you come back to your books.<\/p>\n
