For students taking summer exams

 

Challenges 

Students often tell us they find the following things challenging during summer exam prep:  

  • Feeling isolated: It can be harder to study without your peers around. Studying with others can help you stay motivated and on track, but many students find this more difficult over the summer.  
  • Uncertainty about who to ask for help: You might feel unsure where to turn now that some staff and services have reduced availability.  
  • Uncertainty about how to revise: If revision didn’t go well the first time, you may feel stuck on how to improve, but support is available to help you move forward with confidence.  

 

How we can help 

  • Revision workshops: Open to all students, our friendly workshops offer a space to learn and apply practical revision strategies alongside others taking summer exams.
  • Maths one-to-one appointments: these are available online or in-person, and are for any student who needs to do calculations or maths in their studies (apart from Honours and PGT students in the School of Maths & Stats who are advised to seek help from their own school) 
  • One-to-one online appointments with your College’s Effective Learning Adviser for tailored advice on how to plan and revise effectively.  
  • Contact your College and/or School for information about subject-specific help
