How to Revise for Exams!

How to not be stressed by Alex and Sarah (Spikey and Patrice)

Although 2015 holds exciting new possibilities, there are also some less thrilling things: like exams. For the upper years in school, exams are too close for comfort and therefore many people will rightfully become anxious about it. However Sarah and I are here to assist you!

Step 1 of becoming immune to exam stress:

Revise. Revise a lot. The worst feeling when you’re approaching an exam is the feeling that you’re completely unprepared. The only thing you can do to prevent this is to revise for your test. It seems so obvious but really, it is the key thing to stop you from worrying.

Step 2:

When you’ve revised the most you can, sometimes the best thing you can do is be confident. You’ve done so much revision there’s no way you could fail. And, even if you do, it’s not the end of the world. Sometimes you just have to think about whether this exam is the be all and end all.

Step 3:

Hush little children don’t you cry, if you get enough sleep and put down that pie. The exam will go your way, and you’ll thank us for what we will say :D

Sleep and eat well! This is the principal rule to a healthy lifestyle. Without sleep and substantial food your exam will seem a whole lot harder.

Step 4:

This is possibly the daftest suggestion we have but why not try yoga or even meditation. You may find yourself scoffing at such an idea but in reality 30 minutes of yoga or meditation can really help you to relax and clear your mind of all these worries.

Step 5:

Whilst it’s important to do sufficient revision for your exams, don’t overdo it. Have a hobby that can take your mind away from your school life and remember to think positively! Good luck!
