I'm bored this morn so i thought might as well make this. It's advice i've gathered from various sources, mixed with my own and I'd say it work for a lot of people. That said here are some tips for staying unstressed and passing those tests! ^^
1) Always revise at least once a week what you have learnt that week (duh).
2) When studying take in chunks of about 1 hour - 2 hours depending on what you're attention span is. Trying to study after that is just pointless(Mines like 1/2 an hour) ^^.
3) When studying never study past 12 at latest. At this time you're brain generally doesn't absorb any more info and it's pretty much pointless.
4) Never study late and then go to sleep straight away. It's always good to have a 1/2 - 1 hour of R&R time after some intensive study to relax the brain. If you go to sleep straight after working your brain, you'll wake up hell tired the next day.
5) If you feel you haven't studied enough, then go to sleep a bit earlier and wake up early to study what you think you need to. Studying in the morn is much more effective than at night because your mind is fresh like a sponge and so can absorb more info ^^.
6) If you start panicking about a test, DONT. You recall information more clearly in the state you were in when you got that information. For example, if you studied while you are in a relaxed, normal everyday state then thats the state you have to be in to recall that information more quickly and effectively.
7) If you're nervous before a test, try this trick. It seems silly but it works wonders =). Close your eyes, spread you're arms out like a bird, tilt your head back and take 10 deep breaths. It helps calms those butterflies in you're stomach ^^.
8) Always have an optimistic approach! With an optimistic approach, you're brain will actually open up more so you can reach that crucial bit of information you might need.
9) Avoid the bitching session before hand. This ussually puts you in the pessimistic mode.
10) BEEEE HAAAAPPPYYY!!! ^_________^
