Get enough sleep!

Take regular exercise

Feed your brain with healthy, regular meals

Drink plenty of fluids

Keep up iron levels

– dark green leafy vegetables, red meat, beans and seafood all contain high levels

Take plenty of short breaks

Try to leave enough time in your revision for some fun

Be realistic - do not try and do too much in one day

Chill out! When you start to feel you are losing it –take some time:

• Close your eyes, breathe deeply and slowly, Tell yourself how well you are doing
• Shake your arms, relax your shoulders to decrease tension
• Go for a walk or do some exercise
• Use sayings such as ‘calm down’ and ‘relax’

After the exams there may be feelings of relief…

…but you may feel a little anxious if things have not gone well. You may want to talk with your parents, friends or a member of staff about how you feel.
