Students always have a lot of questions in the last day or two - and hopefully this article will help you to feel a little more ready!   After all those years of studying hard in your lessons, you have built up some great knowledge which will help you answer the questions and get the best grades. However, you need to be ready to put what you know onto the exam paper. This includes revision to solidify your understanding of the subject, plus taking care of yourself so you are in the best mental shape on the day.

There are a number of exams coming up in the coming months, including mocks and then the IGCSE and AS/A levels, the IELTS, plus language exams such as DELE and DELF. Exam time can be stressful, but good preparation is the key to success. By structuring your study, reading up on what to expect and looking after yourself mentally and physically, you can build yourself a pathway to exam success.   **Take your time** Starting your revision too late makes it hard to retain the information, and often leads to panic. Our brains can’t focus on learning when we are stressed, and rushing your revision at the last minute is definitely stressful. Instead, create a study plan several weeks before the exam and use it to space out your subjects and topics.   [Read More](https://info.brillantmont.ch/international-boarding-school-blog/exam-preparation-strategies-for-success) ## [Tips and tricks on how to revise for your exams](https://info.brillantmont.ch/international-boarding-school-blog/tips-and-tricks-for-how-to-revise-for-your-exams) April 16, 2021 | [0 comments](https://info.brillantmont.ch/international-boarding-school-blog/tips-and-tricks-for-how-to-revise-for-your-exams#comments-listing)| by [Sarah Baker](https://info.brillantmont.ch/international-boarding-school-blog/author/sarah-baker) [![Sarah Baker](https://info.brillantmont.ch/hubfs/2020%20-%202021%20School%20Year/BM%202020-21%20Photos%20and%20Videos/2020-21%20Photos/Sarah%20Baker.png "Sarah Baker")](https://info.brillantmont.ch/international-boarding-school-blog/author/sarah-baker) [![](https://info.brillantmont.ch/hubfs/Blog/211-library-studying-brillantmont-Lausanne-Switzerland.jpg) ](https://info.brillantmont.ch/international-boarding-school-blog/tips-and-tricks-for-how-to-revise-for-your-exams) Here comes another term at our Swiss boarding school, which means that students are busy preparing and revising for their upcoming official exams.
