Milly The most important thing is don't stress and don't give up.

Dr Radha Stay calm and remind yourself there's always something you can do. Try to focus on what would be most helpful for you at that moment. That might be time spent learning some key points to prompt you in the exam, or it might be to prioritise a specific topic and learn it as well as possible. You could look over mock exams or assessments to help you see where you need to focus. Whatever you do, go into the exam with a belief that you will know more than you think and to give it your best try, no matter what.

Rohan If you're feeling short on time, definitely go to someone for help. Your teacher should be able to help prioritise things for you.

Dr Radha If in doubt, ask a trusted adult or someone who's good at prioritising.

Jacintha Don't beat yourself up if a personal situation has stopped you from doing as much revision as you wanted. Not everyone's life's are straightforward. You can still do your best starting from this point.

Rohan Some resource books may have questions towards the end of a topic. Get your friends to test you.

Milly I don't think revision's ever left too late. Starting as soon as you can will really help.

Baxter There's always time to make a difference. You just have to believe in yourself.

Rohan Don't be tempted to pull an all nighter. They never help.

Dr Radha Make sure you give the exam a shot by turning up and doing your best. You might just surprise yourself.

Rohan Always go to the exam. Some marks are better than none.

Dr Radha Even if you think you don't know the answer, be sure to write something down. You never know where you might pick up marks.

Jacintha Personally, I always write down an answer. Even if I'm really stuck on a question, I'll put a star next to it, move on and then come back to it later with a fresh head, and try and write something down.

Rohan You should always write an answer because you never know you could get a mark for that.

Dr Radha Read the questions carefully. Sometimes the resources you're given in exams can help to trigger things you know or you've learnt from your teacher.

Shay Once you get into the exam and open your paper, I think you'll be surprised by how much information you do know and how much information you have picked up during revision.

Niall When I was in maths, some of the formulas just clicked into my head like I didn't think I knew them before. But when I was kind of focussing, knew I had to get the marks, it just came back to me.

Shay I think it's so important to focus on yourself during exam season. At the end of the day, you can't influence other people's exams go and they can't influence how yours goes. Just concentrate on yourself and you'll do fine.

Dr Radha Whatever happens, don't lose faith. It's never, ever too late to improve your marks.

Anxiety Josh Help. I've left it too late. I've left my revision to the very last moment. I'm Anxiety Josh and I'm a therapist, specialising in anxiety and I also left my revision to the last minute when I was at school. Here are three tips to help you get through this difficult situation.

Tip number one: Try not to feel guilty and beat yourself up for it because we have got limited resources now, both physical and emotional, and guilt won't serve us well. We need to put that to one side and use what we have first. So it's OK not to feel guilty about it.

Tip number two is: I left mine too late and I'm not endorsing you leave revision too late, but I'm doing all right. It's not the end of the world if you've left it here. You've still got some time and let's do the best that we can. Also, you might surprise yourself. you might remember a lot more than you think.

And tip number three: remember this is a lesson for the future. When I went off to do university and then do my masters, I was so organised. Thanks to the fright that you may be experiencing now. I don't leave things to the last minute anymore, thanks to doing this. So again, not endorsing it, but this will be a positive lesson for you in the future.

Ellie Simmonds Hello, I'm Ellie Simmonds, a British Paralympic swimmer. These are my five top tips on when you feel unprepared and overwhelmed.

Number One is talking. Talk to other people and see how they feel and get the weight off your head.

Number two: writing things down. I find when your head is clogged up, write things down. Get it on a piece of paper.

Number three: use your past experiences. Remember the times in the past where you have been able to cope before - you're gonna cope again.

Number four: being aware. Control the controllables. You won't be able to control what you can't control.

And number five: you'll be OK. Don't worry.
