Exams can be a stressful time for most students, but follow these fantastic stress-free tips for revising... and you might find yourself at the top of the  class!
 

• Study in a quiet place away from the TV and computers etc that is both light and comfortable.

• Make a 'revision timetable' and always let your family know when you are revising.

• Create summary notes and anything simple that helps your memory – as short notes, drawings and sayings are much easier to remember.

• Get help. Ask friends and family to test you. Also attend any teacher revision classes – as teachers will know better than anyone what will be in tests and exams!

• Record yourself reading notes and occasionally listen to them instead of reading.

• Take a 5 or 10 minute break every hour and do some stretching exercises, go for a short walk or make yourself a drink.

• Allow yourself some fun-time each day to relax...and make sure you get a good 8 hours of sleep each night.

• Eat well. Good brain foods? Wholegrain foods (cereals, wheat bran, and whole wheat pasta). Blueberries. Blackcurrants. Broccoli. Tomatoes. Oily fish. Nuts.

• Don't panic if you feel a bit nervy. A certain amount of nervousness actually helps you perform to the best of your ability, producing a rush of adrenaline that helps you to feel alert and focused.
