Is it a good idea to revise right before an exam or should I give my head a break?
I've revised for 2 days straight pretty much but I still don't feel prepared.
My brain felt really fried yesterday. I woke up this morning after a good nights sleep and feel refreshed and ready to go but my exam is not for another 4 and a half hours.
Do I revise more?
Do I not revise at all?
Or do I revise with less intensity?
What is the best thing to do? because I don't want to fry my brain before 'the real' thing. -
Re: Is it a good idea to revise right before an exam or should I give my head a breakRead through the stuff you don't feel confident on but don't try and do any very intense revision. I tend to just read through the textbook/revision guide to try and spot anything I can't remember and then try to memorise it.(Original post by akemikat)

So, revise with less intensity would be my answer.
