timetable;
Not being able to prioritise the most important aspects to
revise;
Revising but not concentrating or misunderstanding what
revision is;
Having insufficient subject notes to revise from;
Showing uncertainty about tackling the exam itself

There are a number of factors that frequently cause students to lose
marks in exams.
