What does SWOTVAC mean?
SWOTVAC stands for Study Without Teaching Vacation. It is a period before exams that some institutions set aside for revision. You may also hear study leave or revision period. Check your own school or institution’s calendar for dates and attendance expectations.
What should you do during study leave?
Start with your exam order and choose an action for each subject. A useful cycle is to attempt a short set, mark it, identify the reason for the most important mistake and try a fresh question that tests the same skill.
How do you plan the final day before an exam?
Check the venue, session and permitted equipment. Pick a short retrieval exercise from material you have already covered. Leave time for travel preparation, meals and your usual sleep routine.
