    Keep your study active 

    • Write notes in your own words, make mind maps, use colour.

    Try and reduce exam nerves

    • Don’t cram the night before, try to relax and wind down.
    • Try to avoid conversations with people who might wind you up.

    Answering exam questions

    • Read the paper all the way through and make sure you know how you will allocate your time.
    • Highlight key words in questions.
    • Leave yourself 10 minutes at the end for a final check through.
