Quick, run for the hills! Exams!

A quick guide for all those guys out there facing up to exams -in my case IGCSEs...!
OK  it's not all that bad... No really! A few tips from the top....

1. Get plenty of sleep.....eat well and generally look after yourself!

Yeeahh... I don't really do this, but I should!
It has been scientifically proven that people get better results after having a proper sleep.

2.  Try NOT to stress...

This ones like asking a scientist to go out there and find a ninth planet in the Solar System, seemingly impossible, but also very possible (yeah, okay not such a great example).

Heres a list of what to do:

- Sleep well
- Meditate (it's harder for beginners, don't give up ; ))
- Have occasional breaks (but don't overdo them)
- Revise in sunlight
- Revise first thing (it's easier to focus and the info will stick in yer noggin', mate!

You might have noticed that there were some non- relaxing tips in there, that's because you will feel more relaxed in the long- run.

3. Notes, Past Papers, oh my!

What I did was I revised 4 months before everyone via following a schedule, I made.
Sometimes, I couldn't revise one day, so I moved the revision that I was supposed to do to another day. That way, it's fluid.

At first, buy revision books and make notes on them. I usually shorten sentances so that instead of "I went to the shop", its "Went shops", it seems weird, but, you could tell what it means.
As you near the exams, start doing more and more past papers, try different difficulties. Teust me, this will help.


5. Be CONFIDENT!

If you're not confident, then you'll panic and fail.
REMEMBER: "Confidence is key"


Now, good luck!
