I have a Maths exam tomorrow (nothing major but it does affect what group I will be put in next year and I don't wanna move away from my mates). I've been revising a (very) little through the week and kinda a lot today. I still have a lot to get through now and I'm starting to panic a bit. I have enough trouble concentrating as it is and when I panic I get even worse, because although I'll be concentrating I just won't take it in. Any tips to keep me on track and make what I'm reading through/working through examples of sink in? It's a test in Algebra if that helps.

For the revision make sure you practice questions as these help it to sink in even more when you understand.
I always write a sheet of rough points that I'm not very clear on as a last miniute revision sheet for before the exam.
For the exam make sure you have a bottle of water with you. If you feel nervous just take a sip of this. If you don't understand something at first because you are panicing move on and then come back to it.

You have to sit yourself down with no distractions, no TV, no music, no friends, no crazy sisters like I have, and actually put your mind into the work. I know it sounds stupid, but it works. Give yourself examples, like use different colored skittles for unknown numbers like x and y. I hope this could help, Algebra was my worst subject! Have fun.
