Exam revision
We know it’s all too easy to get overwhelmed by exams, but the BBC has a great Web site, which is designed to help you with revision.

Why not visit: www.bbc.co.uk/schools/revision

Here are some general revision tips.

• Don't try to revise for too long all at once. Do your revision in half-hour slots, stopping for a drink and a five or ten minute break in the middle. This will help you concentrate and you'll remember more of what you are revising.
• Don't leave your revision until the last minute. If you haven't already, start revising now. It is true that it is never too late to start revising, but you shouldn't leave it until the day before your exam!
• If you don't understand something then ask someone. Never suffer in silence. There is no point learning something from memory if you don't understand it, it won't help you in the exam. Get your teacher to explain it.

Diet and health

We all know a good balanced diet is really important, but what should and shouldn’t we be eating?

The BBC has a great health section, why not visit www.bbc.co.uk/health?

Fancy a change? Try this
Next time you're shopping, buy one new fruit or vegetable you've never tried before or didn't like as a child. Tastes change and by exploring new foods you'll be giving your taste buds a treat and doing your body a favour.

Cutting down?
Ideally, we should only eat sugary foods sparingly. If you'd like to cut down on fatty and sugary foods, follow these suggestions:

• Snack on fresh or dried fruit rather than biscuits and chocolate.
• Trim any visible fat off meat and poultry.
• Buy lean cuts of meat and reduced-fat minces.
• Ditch the frying pan - try poaching, steaming, grilling and baking instead.
• Swap whole milk for semi-skimmed or skimmed alternatives.
• If you use lard, butter or hard margarine, switch to vegetable oil and low-fat spreads
