Make sure you eat well. Your brain needs fuel, too. Try to eat before your exam.
| Whilst caffeine may keep you alert and awake, too much can make you jittery and nervous. Start studying early and if you're feeling tired, maybe try to get a good night's sleep. |
| Exercise is a great way to relieve stress and relax. Incorporate exercise into your breaks, but avoid using it as a means to procrastinate! |
| Take time out to relax. If you're feeling anxious or nervous about exams, take some time out to practise getting into a relaxed state. Try some simple breathing exercises or visualising performing well in your exams. |
Sleep is important. A good night's sleep will help you feel energised and focused when you're studying and sitting your exams.
Sick of sitting at your desk? Go for a quick walk around the block or the park to refresh.
