• Experiment to find which memory-aids work best for you.. you could try graphics, flow charts, summary notes, cartoons, highlighters, tape recordings and key point cards, for example get family or friends to test you
• Revise where it is quiet and you've space to spread out your files
• Take regular breaks and give yourself a small reward when you complete a task
• Sleep and eat well
• Revise regularly and often

Before the exam, make sure you check the date and time you

have to be there - leave plenty of time to get there
