The only good thing about this week is that there's not a lot of homework.

I just finished up with finals last week and they were a nightmare. For me, taking breaks to just chat or go out and eat a quick meal actually helped a lot. Switching between subjects whenever I felt too stressed over one exam was also pretty useful.

I'm not sure I'm the best person to give advice on handling stress though, I ended up pulling several all-nighters because I was too stressed to sleep xD

I haven't found any easy ways to completely get rid of stress, but one thing that works to some extend is to have a cup of hot milk with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and honey before bed. It will help calm your stomach, lull you into a sleepy state of mind, and help you to get a restful night.
There is nothing worse than being kept up all night before a big exam.

It's very subjective, but I find that taking breaks, taking walks, drinking tea and listening to music I like helps with stress in general.

Mostly time management n'stuff.

I usually go for one-hour study blocs separated up by fifteen-minute "recesses." In those fifteen minutes, take some time to eat a snack, drink some water, go for a walk and maybe browse YouTube for a fluffy kitten video.

Avoid doing super-intense solo four-hour cramming sessions (they don't work, trust me). Try to find yourself a study group if possible.

I listen to music when I study, but I tend to stay away from stuff with lyrics; they get somewhat distracting after a while.

Do everything on paper. The internet is a very shiny distraction.

If you have a calculus exam, attempt to summon the ghost of Sir Isaac Newton to guide your hand. Oh, and flash cards help too.

My first GCSE is actually a week today. I'm hoping I do well enough on these exams, after all, I have to pass at least 5 of them or I'll have to change my plans for the future completely, haha.

In Canada, where I would normally be, university students are just finishing up (or have already finished) their final exams. High school students, on the other hand, probably haven't started yet. But then again, that's just my country, and it may not even hold true outside Ontario...

(I'd also be saying thank you, except that I'm not in a school that gives tests this year. Hurrah! Instead, I will add my good wishes to yours.)
