    I imagine everyone is a little nervous.

    Get a good night's sleep.

    Relax. - Tense all the muscles in your body ('scrunch-up') - then release all at same time. Repeat until become aware of technique.

    Breathe. - Sloooooooow, deep, belly breathing. (Short. Shallow. Breaths. = Hyperventilate & dizziness.)

    Stay sober night before.

    Good luck.

    Why do you keep telling everyone to breathe? Just because we are all stressed we have not forgot how to breathe!!! :lol:

    Good luck to everyone with their exams.

    Work is a funching nightmare and revision is even worse!!! :(:cry:

    Don't worry - everyone is in the same boat, I'm really nervous but am just revising at every possible opportunity and studying the past papers. Have you looked at the Cheif Assesors Reports? They contain helpful tips about common shortcomings etc. from the previous exams.

    Good luck to us all

    :P

    Yoga trick for Headaches (original on p6 Study Buddy)

    Right! any good at visualization?

    Find somewhere quiet, close curtains, etc.

    Try to picture the 'pain' in your head and try to describe it to yourself in as much detail as possible.

    What shape is it? What colour? Smooth or spiky? Throbbing or stabbing? How big? How heavy is it?

    All of these, and more, kind of 'distance' you from it.

    You should get to a stage where you don't notice anymore.
    NB if you have headaches regularly, then you should definitely check with doctor - cos it might be something more serious! (But stress, high blood pressure, noisy environments, even diet, etc, can all influence.)
