As that first exam creeps ever closer, it’s not just the weather that seems to be hotting up. While the sun begins to shine and Cambridge starts to look a bit less like a dreary nightmare and more like the set of a classic British film, we force ourselves to stay put inside as we revise all day

If the sight of books is starting to make you feel sick, you can’t fathom anymore study sessions, and the days when ‘Revs’ was short for Revolution and not revision (bit of a stretch? Fair enough) feel a lifetime ago, take a moment to see if you’re studying in line with your personality.

If you picked mostly As: The Library Lover

Everyone likes to work in the library, but you really take this into overdrive. You have a favourite spot in multiple faculty libraries and are probably on first name terms with your college librarians. I’d say this is the healthiest kind of reviser to be, but the further into exam term it gets, the less and less frequently you’re seen outside…

If you picked mostly Bs: The Nature Lover

No matter the weather, you always suggest a study session outside. Whether it’s completing problem sheets in your college gardens or writing essays by the Cam, you’re willing to put up with the Cambridge wind throwing your belongings everywhere because the sun is finally out! Or so you keep insisting to your library-loving friends.

If you picked mostly Cs: The Ghost

You are perhaps the most terrifying kind of reviser because nobody ever sees you do any work. You’re never in the library and you’re always at every social event, yet somehow you miraculously hand in everything on time. But for your friends’ sanity, maybe at least pretend to be working next time they see you.

If you picked mostly Ds: The Night Owl

You’re the kind of reviser that everyone slightly worries for, because while your friends are slaving away in the library, you’re having your third nap of the day in preparation for your overnight, caffeine-induced revision. Everyone around you keeps telling you it’s unhealthy, but you somehow still get good marks, so is it really all that bad? You’re sort of too tired to argue anyway.
