Balancing Mental Health and Revision Over Easter: You've Got This 💛

Easter break might feel like it’s all about revision, but let’s take a second to remember something really important—your mental health matters too. Yes, exams are coming. Yes, revision is key. But burning out in April doesn’t help you in May and June. So let’s talk about how to make this Easter both productive and gentle on your brain.

1. 🧠 Structure Helps—So 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 guide—minus 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 don’t need to be working 12 hours a day to succeed—you need focus, not exhaustion.

2. 📺 Join Our Free Live YouTube Sessions

You don’t have to do this alone! All through the Easter holidays, we’re 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. 📄 Use Our Predicted Papers (+ Free Walkthroughs!)

If you’re not sure what to revise, our predicted papers are a great place to start. They’re 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. 🌼 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 🐶) is not “wasted” time. It’s 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 remember—we’re here to help every step of the way 💛
