Studying at home can be difficult and put you under additional stress. Thankfully, with Internet access, there are many tools available to you to help with your homeschooling. For example, you are now able to access Revise Wise online for free to help with your revision. Make sure to use the most out of that resource.
Apart from Revise Wise, there are other online sources with notes, videos, sample questions and answers that you can access at this time.
Resources For JC and LC Subjects

Similar to StudyNotes, Studyclix offers resources for both Junior and Leaving Cert subjects. Here you’ll find notes, videos and quizzes that will help with your revision. It also offers a space to connect with other students in the ‘Discussion’ section.
TEDEd
This is an educational version of Ted Talks where you’ll find videos about different topics for each subject. Those might be especially useful when you get bored looking at your own notes. Listening to someone else will provide you with some variety.
YouTube
Like TEDEd, YouTube has thousands of educational channels which can be helpful for both Junior and Leaving Cert. It can be especially helpful when trying to understand difficult concepts or theories, summaries and background information.
State Examinations Commissions website
Being thought in a classroom is definitely different than studying at home. The best way to revise during this time may be to do as many exam questions as possible.
