As a teacher, and someone myself that can get quite anxious and stressed when it comes to exams - I'm always on the look out for ways in which I can help my students with the exam stress.
This book is great! It's jam packed full of tips that can really help!
Not just waffle (like some other books on this topic) some genuinely great points!
Would definitely recommend.
