I’m by no means a definitive source because it’s all individual but here’s some of my opinions. Lectures are undervalued by most students, when it comes to revision having that initial memory stored away somewhere will help ALOT, so try to go to them. For seminars, try go to all again you might actually enjoy them. Of course like i said this is individual, if you go and genuinely think you’re not gaining anything from them, don’t force it but atleast spend that time doing something productive. Just make sure if you do attend you actually engage, I personally think pen and paper notes is best for lecture as trying to keep up with what’s being said actually helps imo because you need to actively select what information is worth writing and how to shorten it. I’d also say to maintain a routine as much as possible, it doesn’t need to be extreme but committing to something like 2 hours a day is infinitely better than randomly revising 8 hours daily for a two week period, burning out and quitting for a few more weeks. Of course if you can consistently do it, more is better. Also, try learn basic study tips if you haven’t already (active recall, 25min on 5 off etc). For short fire important tips: actually understand critical engagement, practice past papers a lot, atleast skim recommended reading, understand mark schemes, don’t be afraid to ask lecturers questions about coursework and get started early. I could go on and on, but I don’t want to waffle anymore than I have.
