"This is an important time, but students should remember not to be too tough on themselves and to trust in the hard work they've put in throughout their school life. "Getting lots of sleep, taking regular study breaks and eating healthy food can help students think clearly and reduce the stress. "They should feel positive as they go into these exams and be proud of what they have achieved so far." |
