1. Get the balance right

It’s really important to eat a healthy balanced diet during the exam period (and all year round, too!). This should include:

·                             plenty of fruit and vegetables

·                             plenty of starchy foods,

·                             some milk and dairy foods

·                             some meat, fish, eggs, beans

·                             just a small amount of foods and drinks high in fat and/or sugar

2. Base your meals on starchy foods to keep your energy levels up

Try to choose wholegrain varieties of starchy foods whenever you can because the energy is released more slowly, which means they give your body energy for longer.

3. Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast

Are you having trouble concentrating? It could be because you’re not eating regularly enough to give your brain the fuel it needs

4. Eat healthier snacks

Snack foods such as cakes, biscuits, chocolate and sweets can be high in sugars and saturated fat, and low in certain vitamins and minerals. Instead, pick up an apple, some grapes, a currant bun or malt loaf with lower-fat spread.

5. Drink plenty of fluids

If you're feeling tired and lethargic while trying to revise, you might not be drinking enough water. Our bodies need water or other fluids to work properly. It's very important to make sure we're drinking enough

6. Get some sleep

Also think about how much sleep you're getting and don't push yourself to revise too late if it means you won't get enough sleep. Decide what time you're going to stop revising in the evening and allow yourself time to relax before getting an early night. That way, you'll be fresher for the day — and the revising — ahead

7. Get active

Get active to break up your day. You could go for a jog in the park, a swim, cycle, or even just walk down to the end of the road to your local shop
