Staying well-fed, hydrated and getting enough sleep the night before an exam is crucial. Forget what you’ve heard about pulling an all-nighter. Make sure you’re on your A-game during the exam: it won’t be much use if you fall asleep halfway through.
And most of all, just make sure you do your best. No one can ask any more of you than that. If you do the work, try your hardest and can say to yourself that you really gave it your all, you’re on your way to success no matter what your grades are.
