AN EXAM board has issued a series of tips for revision in preparation for the summer exams.

Edexcel bosses are aiming to help minimise exam stresses with a number of pointers about the best ways to study.

The suggestions include:

Create a revision timetable with sensible work slots and breaks.

Know where your exams are and when they start, how long they are and what equipment you are allowed to take in.

Make sure you have one weekend day when you don't do revision or think about exams -- you'll come back to it refreshed.

Keep bullet points on crib cards highlighting main subject theories. Use these for quick revision.
