Revision shouldn’t leave you feeling exhausted before exams even begin. If it does, you’re probably revising too much, not too little.

For GCSE and IGCSE students, the goal isn’t long hours - it’s clear understanding and steady progress.

What Burnout Looks Like:

Revision burnout often shows up as:

• Feeling overwhelmed

• Studying for hours but not remembering much

• Losing motivation or confidence

This usually happens when revision focuses on time spent, not how you’re learning.

Study Smarter, Not Longer

What actually works:

• 30-45 minute revision sessions

• Short breaks in-between

• Focusing on understanding key topics (NOT memorising)

• Revising little and often across the week

Quality revision beats cramming every time.

Why Video Lessons Help

Video-based learning makes revision calmer because you can:

• Pause and replay tricky topics

• Learn at your own pace

• Revisit topics whenever you need

Learners Cloud UK supports GCSE and IGCSE students with curriculum-aligned video lessons and test prep tools across Sciences, Maths, and English, designed to build confidence without stress.

You don’t need to revise all day to do well.

Calm, focused revision helps a lot more. Study smarter, stay calm.
