Step 1: Know that there is an end, and it will come waaay quicker than you think. Once you’ve done them, you get that feeling of wanting to do it all over again, so just push yourself as much as you can (healthily) during this time so you have no ragrets!! (not even a letter, lol)

Step 2: Eat well and drink water – sounds dumb & boring but we swear to you it makes the world of difference to your body, brain, skin and mood!

Step 3: Break it down, yo. Seriously though, don’t even bother revising for 12 hours straight, you’ll kill your brain cells and most likely not keep over half the info you need to remember. Break it down into chunks ie do an hour, break for half an hour and continue with another hour. Then finish with a practice exam!

Step 4: Practice exams should be your best friend if they’re available to you. Exam boards tend to recycle questions alllll the time, so use that to your advantage and do as many as poss! It also means you won’t be freaked out in the real thing which is an obvious bonus

Step 5: Use your friends and family to test you – that’s what they’re there for! When I did my A Levels I made hundreds of flashcards and my mum sat with me for ages working through them in sections with me until I knew them all, and that was so helpful!

Step 6: treat. Yo. Self. Book a hol or day out with a bff as soon as your exams finish and work towards that, there’s loads of countdown apps which are sooo motivational!

 Best of luck, guys. Please do try to relax, in reality they’re just exams to get you to the next step. You’re doing better than you think!

ever since becoming a bit more self aware and learning that complaining doesn’t fix anything I’ve become quite annoyed by those that complain about being unprepared for exams.

really sad that it’s sort of a “cool norm” to complain about how terribly unprepared you are and then following the exam, how terrible you did.

OKAY HERE WE GO! Yesterday said that I’ll be using this account to write so here goes...

I don’t know if your exam season has started or not but if you live in the UK it’s very likely that your first exam is only a few day! How does one continue with life? The answer is listen to Shawn Mendes, let his voice fill you up emotionally, when the lyrics start to mean more just words, you can’t make scene of the world around you and then and only then you can cry yourself to sleep. The next morning you wake up you’ll be drained of all life, you’ll have this empty feeling and that’s the best time to start revising this way you’ll be able to fill up all the emptiness with all the knowledge you need to pass your exam. Remember to repeat this step every other day for a better chance at passing your exam! 

Good Luck!
