well. i believe everyone is suffering from stress right! let germaine teach you how to cope with stress (:

(taken from TEENS magazine)
1. Plan your time (ok this is too late already LOL)

2. Revise smartly

3.Post-It notes
Your memory gets better if you keep seeing things you need to memorise, so the trick to getting facts straight is to keep looking at them. One effective way to do this is to write some key facts (Social Studies) and phrases (literature) on some rectangular, star or triangle pieces of paper, and stick them around your bedroom and house (preferably on items that wont leave a mark when you want to take them off later!). Try places you often look at - on your mirror, on the door of your cupboard you open often, etc. Take care not leave those notes in places that are often in contact with water. After a while, these facts will sink in without any extra effort on your part!

4.Test yourself
Cover up your notes and test how much you've remembered (only for those subjects that require memorising of course!), or get someone else to help you. Get your sister, brother, and even your parents. Testing yourself regulary helps you remember facts better, and any gaps or information you've missed out can be picked up quickly, making the actual exam a lot less stressful, when you know you've gotten a whole lot of knowledge at the back of your hands!

5. Asking for help

6. Past exams (which means do/revise/go through your seniors past year exam papers)

7. Being realistic
You've spent almost three quarters of your life in school, so you probably have a good idea what kind of results you are capable of. If you are an average student, its very unlikely you'll be able to jump to the top class next year. Being realistic helps prevent you from disappointment when your results are announced. The key thing is to do you best.

8. Location

9.Have a fall-back plan
You have aspirations of studying at Havard, becoming a top heart surgeon and also having career in classical ballet dancing. But, no matter how much achievable, have plan B. For example, if you dont make your grades, you can consider resting for a year instead of going directly to the polytechnics or JC, and retake your exams to try your luck again. You can even decide to take on an overseas diploma, which you can study at either locally or overseas - its all up to you.

LASTLY (this is purely by germaine) just learn to relax. Everyone needs a break. Allow short intervals during your studying time and have a kitkat! (ok what i meant was to eat some snacks) HAVE A BREAK! HAVE A KITKAT! :P

HAVE FUN STUDYING KIDDOS (:
