    Remember to check out my 'revising during exam season' playlist for more advice, and feel free to comment any suggestions :)
    Here is the link to my 40/40 mark english language story: www.paypal.com/instantcommerce/checkout/P9HDRC2R3R5WU
    To summarise the video:
    - before an exam eat well, don't do too much revision - focus more on reminding yourself of anything you keep forgetting.
    - after an exam, relax for a couple hours - then continue revision. Try not to deep/focus on the exam you've just done too much.
