E44: Get Uni ready for 2026 – study skills and exam techniques

In this episode, we’re focusing on the skills and strategies that can make a real difference to your studies and your results. Whether you’re revising for exams, getting ready for university, or just looking to improve how you learn, this is your chance to hear proven advice from an expert who has supported over half a million students.

Study skills and exam techniques often go hand in hand, but they aren’t exactly the same thing. So, how do they link – and how can you master both?

We’re joined by Sander, the Founder of MADE Training, an organisation that has delivered workshops to schools and colleges across the UK, in conversation with student co-host Rosie. Together, they share the three big themes they think every student should know – plus a fun challenge you can try yourself.

We’ll cover:

• The difference between study skills and exam techniques – and why it matters
• How to build strong study habits and routines that actually stick
• Ways to find the learning techniques that work best for you
• Time management strategies and reward systems that keep you motivated
• Memory techniques you can use to make revision more effective

If you’re aiming for exam success in 2026 – or want to get uni ready well before you arrive – this episode is packed with practical tips you can start using today.
