No matter whether these exams are you first, or your last, its stressful. Trying to juggle all the challenges that come with exams can be stressful; so, we’ve complied 5 tips you can follow to help relieve some stress.

Theres nothing worse than trying to cram the content for the exams the night before. That’s why it’s best to start your revision with plenty of time. We recommend starting around 2 months before your exams, to allow for productive, spaced revision.
2. Allow yourself plenty of breaks
Revision is most productive when done in small chunks. We recommend 45 minutes work with a 15-minute break.
3, Put the phone away
Phones are distracting. The constant notifications with completely devoid your focus. Try putting it in a different room to remove this distraction.
4, Try lots of different revision techniques.
Revision is extremely personal. In order to discover what works for you make sure to try lots of different techniques. We suggest things such as Quizlet, practice papers, and active recall for example.
