How can I improve my revision stamina?

I can't revise properly for my exams because I find it really hard to work productively for more than around 30 minutes (I know it sounds pathetic). I am really worried that this will affect my future, more important, exams (GCSEs). How can I revise more effectively?

How can I improve my revision stamina?
well umm


im revising for my gcses now.


firstly, go in a quiet room, away from computers, tvs or anything that will distract you.





secondly, make revision fun, buy some nice folders, some new pens, so that it kinda makes you more eager to do it.





write yourself out a timetable, and if you know you can only study for 30 mins at a time, set yourself 30 minute blocks of subjects, wtih 10 minutes inbetween, so that you can have a bit of a break and grab something to eat





apparently you also study better in the mornign than the evening, so try waking up and doing an hour or two.

Reply:do not spend more than 30 minutes at a time..take a break and come bCK again and revise.. This is more effective than revising for a long spell
Reply:Here are my tips: eat healthily - eggs, and fish in particular are known to be brain boosters. Divide your day into three sections, work only for two sections and the rest will be your break from study. Study for 45 minutes then have a 15 minuter break during the time allocated for studying. The night before the exam - do not study for that exam! Go for a walk, clear your mind.





If you are a visual learner - drawing mind maps may help you. It certainly helped me. For more information look up VAK on the internet and do quizzes to find out your personal learning style. For my standard grades I achieved 8 ones and two twos. Ones are the best you can get (equivalent to GCSE A stars) and this was due to following the advice I've given you. Best of luck!!!
Reply:Drink water, eat fish-or take an omega 3 supplement. Eat fresh fruit and raw veg. Heavy meals slow your brain, so a little often helps. take fresh air and exercise in between sessions. Build up your study stamina; make this weekends target 45 minutes, increase by 10 minutes next week. If you are dyslexic or dyspraxic, us some more questions; there are techniques that could help you.
