Welcome back, it’s great to see so many of you back in the Library!
We have so much going on to support your revision and exam preparation and your wellbeing. Please read on and follow us on social media @SurreyLib for updates.
Following on from our successful activities in semester one, the How to … develop your revision and exam methods event is taking place again this May, to help you discover all your study needs for the revision and exam period.
We have some in-person and online event opportunities to help you develop revision and exam performance strategies, including:
In-Person Revision and Exam Zone
Level 1 of the Library (from Friday 28th April)
Come and visit the Revision and Exam Zone where there are a range of guides, tips, and activities to help you consider how you can develop your revision and exam methods, and ways to take care of yourself through the revision and exam period.
Our friendly Student Mentors will also be available to chat in the Revision Zone, Level 1 of the Library.
They are trained to help other students consider how to develop personal approaches to studying and learning, so come along and find out about how you can develop your revision and exam methods. Dates and times below:

Online Revision and Exam Zone
This zone will explore:
- Strategies to plan your revision effectively.
- Revision approaches to help you remember ‘stuff.’
- Strategies for exams.
- Ways to take care of yourself throughout the revision and exam period and links to other university services.
Before looking at these resources you may wish to think about your current approaches to revision and exams and what has worked well for you in the past. You may also wish to reflect on what didn’t work quite so well and adopt strategies to help you develop in these areas.
Please visit the MySurrey exams page for the latest information and guidance.
We hope these resources will be useful to you and wish you all the best for your exams!
To support your wellbeing look out for our healthy study tips and resources. There will be hot drinks and snacks available in the Library. On #WellnessWednesday during revision and exam weeks come and relax with our student ambassadors who will be holding Origami and Mindful colouring workshops on Level 1 – all free and no experience necessary!
