How to revise 'effectively'
Open an endless amount of tabs
Revision just isn’t possible unless you have more tabs than your computer can handle, so be sure to open up Facebook, YouTube, Myspace, Catleidoscope, the list is endless. Once the tabs get so small you can barely click on them, you know you’re ready to start learning. Just make sure you have Moodle in another window for ease of access in case your judging flatmates walk in.

Organise said tabs
You may want to organise them in terms of importance, alphabetical order or year of creation – it’s completely up to you to decide on your virtual workspace. It may seem like a pointless task that only furthers your procrastination, but rest assured it will help you to quickly pull up the correct website later on.

Sort out your physical workspace
Those coloured pens you hope to someday use to make memorable revision notes are crying out to be arranged into a rainbow. Don’t have any? That’s fine; why not arrange pens and pencils into a neat line instead? An ordered desk makes for an ordered mind. While you’re at it, stick those notepads and folders back on the shelf. Cleaning up is an unmissable part of revision.

Call your extended family
You haven’t heard from your second cousin three times removed in years, they may have extremely important gossip for you. Or perhaps they studied exactly what you did a few years ago and can offer you some help (and maybe you’ll win the lottery this week too). You’ll never know until you ring around absolutely everyone, and we all know it’s the things you don’t try that you regret.

Have your notes tattooed onto you
If you haven’t found inspiration yet, you should probably go to extreme measures. Don’t bother revising, instead get everything you need to know permanently inked onto your skin. Invigilators can tell you to take labels off your water bottles and notes from out of your pocket, but they can hardly tell you to get rid of your skin halfway through the exam. Though if they do, run. This is how horror films start.
