Balancing Spring Vacation Scheme with Revision

[Ben Hewett]

Hello all,

I have recently received a vacation scheme place at a firm, scheduled for two weeks in April. I'm naturally overjoyed, but also very aware that I have to balance time to revise as well.

Does anyone have any experience participating on a spring vacation scheme, and have any tips in balancing the two responsibilities?

Easter vacation schemes are tricky for that reason. Personally, I planned a schedule that had me doing barely any work during those two weeks (aside from some on the weekend). Vacation schemes can be exhausting and I personally needed that rest during the weekends. I then played catch up after my scheme.

That said, my exams were in the summer and that may not be possible if you have earlier exams.

Thank you Jaysen. Yes, a bit tricky for me as my scheme ends on April 12th, and I've got my first exam on April 23rd. I've started revision now with a large spreadsheet of subjects, so just hoping to knuckle down and get as big of a chunk done before the scheme.

That's very tricky. Good luck!
