Or check out the following stress busting tips!

• Believe in yourself - you wouldn't have been given a place on the course if you didn't have the ability to do it. Therefore, if you prepare for the exams properly you will do fine, there is no need to worry excessively.
• Don't try to be perfect - it's great to succeed and reach for the stars, but keep things in balance. Don't create unnecessary stress for yourself; aim to do your best because nobody is perfect.
• Take steps to overcome problems - if you find you don't understand some of your course material, getting stressed out about it won't help. Instead, take action to address the problem directly by seeing your course tutor or getting help from your classmates.
• Don't keep things bottled up - confiding in someone you trust and who will be supportive is a great way of alleviating stress and worry.
• Keep things in perspective - the exams might seem like the most crucial thing right now, but in the grander scheme of your whole life they are only a small part.

To prevent stress building up ensure you DON'T…

• Leave revision until the night before
• Revise in five hour or more chunks, you will remember nothing
• Revise in front of the TV/radio; try to schedule your revision before and after the soap of your choice!
