A practical and positive guide for exam students, for the best chance of success. Written by award-winning author, Nicola Morgan, Exam Attack will give you all the tools you need to sail through your exams.

Exam Attack covers a huge range of learning techniques. You’ll find advice on the best ways to revise, revision techniques, revision timetables and up-to-date advice on note-taking and learning. As well as this, there’s practical information about how to deal with stress, nerves and worries.

The sensible, achievable suggestions throughout include current advice on revision techniques; positive attitudes to work and achieving the right mindset; self-belief and self-esteem; dealing with distractions and procrastination, such as how to push yourself when you’re really not feeling up to it; and how to let go of your phone and regulate social media use.

One of the core principles in this book is that our mental and physical health, or ‘wellbeing’, affects how we perform. It isn’t a luxury or optional extra: it affects every aspect of life. Rest, relaxation and taking time-out from revision can actually help you to learn and perform more effectively.
