Stuck in a pit of revision doom? Here are my study essentials to boost focus and ease the panic

Knee-deep in GCSE or A-Level revision? There’s no way of avoiding or fast-tracking it, but there are tools and gadgets that can help you focus and revise more effectively. I’ve rounded up my ultimate revision kit below.

Let’s start with the tech. If you’re revising on a laptop, a proper setup will make a big difference. Investing in a laptop stand to elevate the screen, and separate Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, means you won’t be hunched awkwardly over a screen for hours. If your wrist is starting to complain, it’s a really smart idea to switch to an ergonomic or upright mouse (do it now; you need that hand in good, working order for your exams).
