YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR:

In the real world, if you want to get to the top, you've got to know how to play the game. Sure, you'd like to think that people are promoted based on their abilities and their talent. And sometimes they are ... but if you're like me and you've worked for a big company, you know that there's another piece to this puzzle ... and it's called office politics. I know what you're thinking ... aren't we more evolved than having to play political games to get where we want to? Sorry!

Take Into Account

If you “take something into account” it means you “factor it in” or “include it in your decision making process”.So, if you “take something into account” you make it part of your decision.   Here are some examples:

10 steps to revision success

1. Revision space: Find a good place to work. It should be quiet and uncluttered.
2. Revision timetable: Draw up a revision timetable - it's crucial. It should be realistic, cover all subjects and allow you time off to relax.
3. Make notes: Don't just read through your class work, make notes. One useful tip is to gradually condense your notes so they fit on the back of a postcard.
4. Revision guides: Get a recommendation from your professor as to which are most useful and then make sure you use them!
5. Questions and answers: Write out some questions and answers to see how much you're actually remembering.
6. Listen in: Try recording your notes and then play them walking down the street or whilst you're in bed.
7. Prompts: Put key words and phrases on sticky notes around the house, so you'll see them often.
8. Seek help!: Don't go it alone. They say a problem shared is a problem halved. So, get friends and family on board to help you revise.
9. Past papers: Make sure you get hold of some past papers, they're a really good way of knowing what to expect in the exam.
10.  Relax: If you panic you're lost! The exams are going to happen so you might as well give yourself the best chance of doing well by starting to revise early and keeping calm.

Good luck!
